    All 173 of them.

    Yes, you read that correctly:

    Tesla only sold 173 of the Cybertruck RWD base model.

      That makes sense.
      If you want a Cybertruck, you want the all-wheel version.

        I sure would want an overweight ford pinto reinvisioned as a modern brutalist steel casket that is less mobile than the original model-t.

        This fine piece of… engineering that:

        … struggles to run (and drive) in the cold…

        … has routine problems in humidify and (god forbid) rain…

        … AND elicits the same public response as a clown car …

        … Really just fills that void in me.

        … On my daily commute in my rental car to pay for the rental and my fortress of solitude on wheels that is out of commission - again - for another comical reason.

      Most of the time the front doesn’t fall off at all! Unless a wave hits it.

    The stock market is clownicized. That the flagship product of this company being dogshit, whose intrinsic value can’t exceed 10 billion didn’t tank the stock price that is currently valued at 1.5 trillion dollars, that gave the ceo 60 billion for hyping the stock price without producing actual income to justify that, well, it speaks for itself.

    I would argue our bail outs are a factor in this, investor’s don’t fear a major downturn and are more reckless, knowing any large losses will be socialized from the backs of working people, their victims, while all gains are privatized.

    The Cybertruck is the perfect metaphor for modern-day America.

    Falling apart.

    A danger to everyone, both inside and out.

    Spontaneously catches fire.

    Many of its passengers are trapped inside.

    Described as the best thing ever by the worst people ever.

    There’s probably more

      Driven by Nazis.

      Unprepared for China.

      Hated by Canadians.

      Ugly on the inside.

      Riddled with debt.

      No one’s really buying it.

    In a normal company, insisting on bringing the cybertruck to marked would have resulted in the CEO getting punted.

    No wonder this thing is banned in Europe. It didn’t pass the safety test. Luckily America has much more freedom and much loser regulations.

      That’s not laughter, that’s the expression of a man whose protuberant hemorrhoids have just burst while he’s in public.

      Edit - apt, really
