I cannot wait to see these new Teslas in the wild since theyโre so easily identifiable as purchases made after the Nazi face reveal. The cybertrucks in my area seem to be hiding these last few weeks, and I miss insulting their drivers.
The only people Iโve seen in Cybertrucks look especially miserable and have a surprising lack of bumper stickers on their car.
โฆalso Fortnite, I see them in Fortnite. If I squad up with someone and they have a Cybertruck I make every effort to sabotage them.
What link between Fortnite and cybertruck am I missing? Or do they always tell anyway?
You can buy a Cybertruck in Fortnite. Thereโs other skins too like Mazdas and Toyota.
Does Fortnite have nazi trucks now?
Yes. You can buy a Cybertruck in Fortnite.
Yeah, I don't think the lack of a new Model Y was the reason TSLA sales are crashing...
Tesla shareholders were holding on to the theory that the decline was almost entirely attributable to the Model Y changeover.
The automaker updated the design and some features of the Model Y, its best-selling car, limiting availability as it updated production lines in the first quarter.
It must indeed have had an impact and Tesla also blamed the Model Y changeover for lower deliveries in Q1 during its earnings call last week.
However, it also stated that production is now back to normal in April, and yet, Teslaโs sales continue to decline in Europe.
Within the 5 European markets that report car registrations daily, Tesla is not only tracking down about 50% from the same period in 2024 (Q2 2024), but it is also tracking behind its terrible Q1 2025 despite having the new Model Y
Fucking lol, that's some Grade-A hopium right there.
Looks like they are completely clueless about brand image, since tesla is the maga brand in the eyes of many.
How come their stocks have not declined more?
Because Tesla is the most overvalued stock, by a long shot.
Just looking at the stock price, they're worth more than the other three American brands combined. Ford, GM, and RAM sell more half-ton pickups than all of Tesla models. That's absolutely nuts!
You want to know what a cult looks like? Tesla's sales are down in every segment and people are protesting outside dealerships every week. They announced their profits are down 71% at their Q1 shareholders meeting. The only reason they had any profits was because of government subsidies.
And their stock has only gone up since that meeting.
So you tell me- why hasn't Tesla's stock gone down?
I agree, the model y looks better than all of their other models. No one wants a swasticar.
But it basically looks like a Polestar. What a turnaround, an American company copying a Chinese (-owned) one
I mean to the extent that all cars look the same, but Polestars and Teslas both are pretty distinct. Polestars look (unsurprisingly) lke modernized Volvos.
In the coming years, expect to hear more stories about how divorced from reality TSLA holders have been, and how they're going to feel "lied to", etc.
These people have been so invested in what can only be described as a "meme stock", that they've made up entire realities to support the narrative that they can convert their TSLA shares into actual gold bars at the drop of a hat.
They will even argue with you that their market cap being more than every other automotive manufacturer combined is justified somehow. Because TSLA is really an "energy play".
The sudden stop at the end of their long fall will be quite painful. I wish we could capture video of every single shareholders moment of realization when that moment arrives somehow, but we'll just have to settle for the favor that everyone who drives a new TSLA is a nazi supporting fascist who may as well have painted a swastika on their car to let everyone know they're nazi supporting fascists. It's a small favor they did us, but a favor none the less.
Oh wow a car. Did they get the nazi out of it?
It's funny that 80 years ago, the Americans got the Nazi's out of Germany, but now it's the Germans trying to punish the Nazis in America.
Conversely, when I read about the Holocaust as a kid, the last thing I would have expected future Jewish people to support was killing neighbors and taking their property. How are we making the same mistakes?
It's horrific, isn't it. I think the reason is education and media.
I grew up in the 70s and 80s and we were taught about the Nazis and their horrific legacy. A lot of movies were about WWII and the heroes were the ones shooting Nazis. My generation generally doesn't like Nazis.
However the millennials and Gen Z have grown up in an environment where the bad guys are mainly communists, muslim terrorists and scientists building world-destroying technical weapons. And in school little is said about the Nazi Germany period.
Trump, PP, Nigel Farage, Peterson and all the other right wing talking heads say are our enemies are the same as the above - communists, brown people (who may or may not be muslim) and science. And, guess what, who is supporting the genocide in Gaza? The idiotic anti-China tariffs? Who is denying global climate change and decimating science spending? Who labels their enemies 'radical socialists' or 'communists'?
Even if Elon was out of Tesla. Iโd still boycott them.
Important note: If people are willing to boycott Tesla even after Musk sold it, Musk will get a way lower price for it, because it's less worth to potential buyers.
Elon did nazi that coming.
Iโd rather walk than drive a Tesla
just drive it to the nearest tesla dealer, get the money and buy another car. no need to walk friend
Shame anyone with one of these. A simple thumb down.
Telsa, as leaked yesterday, needs to fire this lazy princess that never shows up.
As long as Elon owns any stake in Tesla buying a Tesla is spring Nazis.
but why buy why?
