On one hand cybertruck is a completely unique design and is a delorean of its day - a trash car with unmistakable, unique appearance you buy as an investment. You don't need to be homo for musk to see that this car will jump up in value in 20 years. And people who bought it as an investment are super happy, propably even behind the " vandalize ct movement" while theirs sits in a garage.

On the other hand even without musk being nazi you are incredebly fucking stupid to buy this terrible car from a terrible company who to this day has not made a single good quality vehicle that is reliable or is built to a standard of the avarage cheap toyota. Or hell, even volkswagen. There were multible chances to cancel your preorder and they still bought it. Even after it was revealed you can't sell it. This is the chickens coming home to roost and teach you about how to spend your money.

I would question battery tech in 20 years. Mainly compatibility.

[–] endeavor@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 hour ago

If you can slap ev conversion into an od jag, you can slap some new batteries into an old ev, especially since enthusiasts will make the conversion kits available

I think another thing to mention is we live in an age of information overload and it seems everyone has or is doing some morally disgusting so the average person can't really keep up with who's done what. I know Elon is pretty much in the headlines nonstop but it's easy to become numb to such things. Like you said the car is unique and people were excited for it. Lots of them now aren't from pre-orders but coming across mildly discounted second hand can be enticing to those who otherwise wouldn't have the opportunity.

Fuck Elon, he can rot in the emerald mine he came from

I do feel sorry for Tesla owners - pre 2025. People bought Teslas in good faith believing this company was heralding green, emissions free vehicles. Which it more or less did. They weren't expecting the CEO would out himself as a Nazi even if there were clues he was a terrible piece of shit. Being an asshole is one thing but Musk out-Henry Ford'ed Henry Ford.

So if you're going to discriminate, target >= 2025 owners where this is common knowledge, not those before. That said, the Cybertruck is and was a fucking terrible vehicle and deserves criticism on its own awfulness outside of any political dimension.

[–] Carighan@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

Well more like pre-2022, back when it was still somewhat hopeful that the cars weren't badly made and the rest of the car market is not rapidly pulling away from Tesla since they have actual QA and actual R&D and stuff. Which was expected to happen anyways, Tesla was struggling to actually build actual cars in any year after all.

But ignoring the technical side for a moment, past ~early 2024 any newly bought Tesla just loudly heralds that you like supporting Nazi Boi.

[–] buzz86us@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

Not exactly, Musk still needs so many suppliers for Tesla.. BYD builds more of their components in house.

[–] Ashelyn@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 15 hours ago

I mostly agree, but I'd set the cutoff date sometime around 2023, maybe up until 2024 for someone completely checked out of the Internet and/or Elon's bullshit. It's part of why the CT is targeted so much in this way, but not the model 3 or S. There are a lot of people who just wanted an electric vehicle when Tesla looked like one of the more compelling options (mostly due to marketing than actual features/reliability but what can you do about that in hindsight).

[–] Punchshark@lemmy.ca 8 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

He was mask off long before 2025

[–] Slayan@lemmy.ca 5 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago) (3 children)

He threw a car into space in 2018 for the lulz.. Dude was nuts long before 2025.

Also elon is not tesla, even if he want you to believe he is. Don't feel bad if you own an electric car, unless it's the swasticar.

[–] groet@infosec.pub 1 points 3 hours ago

Elon is not Tesla but Tesla absolutely is Elon. Tesla might be able to survive elon, but if Tesla goes bankrupt, elon will loose a huge chunk of his power. He is the "richest" man only because of incredibly overinflated Tesla stock.

Everything that huts Tesla is good for democracy, freedom and the whole world!

[–] cyberpunk007@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 hours ago

He's not Tesla but hurting Tesla hurts his wallet.

[–] Punchshark@lemmy.ca 1 points 12 hours ago

Dude is nothing but a charlatan

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 17 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

This guy has the perfect out to set it on fire and scam the insurance company out of money and they chose this. 🙄

[–] mavu@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

are insurance companies still insuring them at all?

[–] InputZero@lemmy.world 4 points 16 hours ago

If the plan is valid and covers fire damage, yup. You'd still have to argue with them like any other time you make an insurance claim. Now will insurance companies write or renew Cyber Trucks, I'll assume yes but at higher rates.

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 24 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago) (1 children)

Musk was randomly accusing people of being a pedo YEARS before the cybertruck was released. No sympathy. User error for agreeing to that contract.

[–] okamiueru@lemmy.world 8 points 16 hours ago

Not random people, but people doing a good job and making him look bad.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 19 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Sounds like their fault for being stupid enough to buy something you aren't allowed to sell for a year.

That's a red flag.

[–] finkrat@lemmy.world 3 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Never heard of having to sign a contract like that for a simple vehicle purchase, that is insane. Wonder if they implemented that after the string of "obvious lack of quality assurance testing" type failures popping up on social media

[–] Carighan@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

It also would not be legally enforcable in most countries, but I guess in the US it's Yeehaw law, so whatever the big corpo says goes.

[–] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 9 points 16 hours ago

I have sympathy for those with older Tesla's, they were the most popular EV on the market, and Musk was mask on back then. Not cyber truck owners, though, he'd long since shown his true colors by the time it released.

[–] Gort@lemm.ee 12 points 17 hours ago

All other things considered, that car just looks laughably shit. Idiots and their money...

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 9 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

I would like it of people would do something a lot more organized and effective with their anger at musk.

[–] Carighan@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

Yeah but consistently sabotaging Cybertrucks is a start. It happens fairly steadily, you can't leave Cybertrucks out in most areas for long.

To be fair, the CT deserves to be written on, tires slashed, sprayed and whatever anyways, but being a more hummery Hummer already, nevermind what a terrible car it is in general. Anyone who bought one basically accepts they'll be the target of shit like this constantly, and they explicitly bought into it.

[–] svcg@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 19 hours ago

Of course I feel sad for them. The people of New Orleans deserve better than having swasticars in their midst.

[–] BlurryBits@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 19 hours ago

99% of these bozos bought the thing based on identity. Statistically the CT is proving to be one of the worst put together EV's in automotive history. Silicon Valley and the techbros have been playing supremacy games for 25 years. So what if just now the hammer drops. They played sycophant, and didn't want to hear the left's warnings.

FAFO

[–] GaMEChld@lemmy.world 4 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago) (1 children)

Even forgetting the Nazism and Musk, those things should be vandalized for being offensive to my fucking eyes. For being a bad product. For being a dangerous product.

[–] epicstove@lemmy.ca 2 points 15 hours ago

Tomb raider 1 lookn ass car.

[–] Ulrich_the_Old@lemmy.ca 5 points 19 hours ago

I feel embarrassed and ashamed for them.

[–] discreetelite@feddit.uk 3 points 17 hours ago

I feel sorry for the people who bought a cybertruck ignorantly without knowing anything about Elon Musk. However, how would that be possible in this day and age?
