Fuck Tesla without any lube.

[-] L3s@lemmy.world 33 points 11 months ago

They've gotten so much money for the Cyber Truck "orders" without even delivering a product to the customers for yeaaarrs. How is that legal?

[-] dynamojoe@lemmy.world 25 points 11 months ago

I'll get my $100 deposit back when their $40k electric pickup truck turns out to be $78k, just like Ford did. Not worried.

[-] L3s@lemmy.world 14 points 11 months ago

100% agree, no way it'll be $40k. Still crazy that as of 2021 there were 1.5M orders, which means they've been holding and most likely making interest on $150,000,000+

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

They probably spent it, though.

[-] L3s@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Did I hear "twitter"? (Just messing, I know that's not how it works, at least not how it should work)

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Narrator: “that’s totally what they did”

(It’s also pretty illegal, IIRC)

[-] berkat@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Elon is a rich con artist.

[-] eee@lemm.ee 7 points 11 months ago

So you gave them an interest free loan for a few years?

[-] dynamojoe@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago

Pretty much, yeah. Assuming 5% interest for the 25 months they've had it, Tesla has made a little over $10 off my deposit so far. I hope they enjoy two happy meals with their gains. I'll be fine.

[-] eee@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

A quick google search shows that Tesla has anything from "more than 1 million" to "more than 1.25 million" deposits placed, so it's actually more like two million happy meals that Musk is enjoying.

[-] Kraven_the_Hunter@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Why wait? Just go to their website and request it back now. That's what i did last year.

[-] ablackcatstail@lemmy.goblackcat.com 11 points 11 months ago

Beats the shit out of me. But now corporations are being treated as people so maybe it's a welfare subsidy? 😆

[-] ashok36@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

As long as they don't realize the funds as income or use them for anything, they can hold deposits pretty much indefinitely. Accountants hate it though.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 10 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

They don't even have exhaust ports. Where do I stick PP?

[-] rtxn@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

You can make it yourself, all you need is a ball bearing and a reasonably strong arm.

[-] Resolved3874@lemdro.id 3 points 11 months ago

How do you make your name like that?

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 3 points 11 months ago

I used a random "fancy textifier" I googled. It's unicode/emojis used in the display name field.

[-] Resolved3874@lemdro.id 2 points 11 months ago

ahhhh ok. I've seen it a couple times and its confused me both times lol

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

The charging socket might be exciting,

[-] BrooklynMan@lemmy.ml 2 points 11 months ago
[-] buycurious@lemmy.world 24 points 11 months ago

Can’t wait for folks to start breaking windows when they receive theirs.

[-] fubo@lemmy.world 16 points 11 months ago

(To the tune of the old "Spider-Man" theme.)

Cybertruck, Cybertruck,
Elon's pervy techno-fuck,
It can hum in your bum
It can make a rich man cum
Go suck! — Go suck a Cybertruck

Cybertruck (hey!) Cybertruck,
Haul a load of Cybertruck,
Smells like poop, Hyperloop,
But it's Elon's special poop
In soup! Eat up for Cybertruck!

In the heat of night
At the scene of a death
"Autopilot was right
When it crushed out your breath!"

Cybertruck, Cybertruck,
Friendly neighborhood Cybertruck,
Are you pissed? Here's the gist:
Cybertruck does not exist.
Still pissed? Sign up on the list!
Sign up for Cybertruuuuuuuuck!

[-] Coeus@coeus.sbs 12 points 11 months ago

Is the Cyber Truck going to be plagued with issues?

[-] VisualCicada@lemmy.ml 6 points 11 months ago

Ugly truck, but looking forward to seeing one soon

[-] const_void@lemmy.ml 6 points 11 months ago

Finally, a Tesla for the Elon/MAGA supporters.

[-] FartsWithAnAccent@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Thpppt, if I do buy an EV it'll probably be a Honda, Toyota, or Volvo.

[-] ChaoticEntropy@feddit.uk 2 points 11 months ago

That just means that it is going to be really, really great when it does come out though, right?
