Tesla is a massively overvalued stock and has been for a long time. When they announced their recent dire sales, the share price actually rebounded because the clown Mush spouted his usual nonsense about the real value in the company - self drive and robo-taxis - but it's been widely reported for some time that the companies tech is a dud because Musk decided to remove all the expensive components that actually make the technology work. They lost their first-move advantage; their competitors have caught up and surpassed them both on EVs and self-drive tech.

The guy is a joke, the company is a joke.

That new Chevy RST looking pretty badass, it isn't just marginally better than a Cybertruck, it's objectively superior in nearly every aspect that it can be superior.

Does it make you look like as much of a douche?

No joke, a cybertruck passed me on the road during my drive home today, and it's even stupider looking in person than in pictures and videos. I laughed out loud at the genius who paid actual money for it.

I saw my first one in the wild this morning in Dallas. Holy fuck is that a fugly-ass vehicle, and the dude driving it looked like a pretentious twunt.

My cousin said someone in her neighborhood has one. They live in a pretty rural area.

This is all I can think about when I see them

A good pinewood derby car has looks nothing like a Cybertruck. You want the weight in the back for maximum potential energy

It’s massive like all full size trucks now, otherwise just a matter of opinion on the style. I think the ford lightning looks a lot better but they’re both useful as backup power cells for a house and have pretty good range.
