Soon it can be scrapped for steel and you could make money off buying them.

Sure am glad I couldn’t afford one of those things back when I wanted one.

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 1 points 2 minutes ago

At this point I expect to see them abandoned on the side of the road with a "Just take it" sign over the engine

For its part, Tesla has been trying to boost its image with the help of President Trump. On Monday, the president took to the South Lawn of the White House to promote Tesla's cars, apparently buying one despite having campaigned on an explicitly anti-electric vehicle platform.

Somehow, I don't think MAGA cult will buy electric vehicles in quantities needed to offset even a fraction of people who used to buy Tesla.

Half of them are broke as fuck and the other half are heavily invested in oil company stocks. Elon made a poor choice of allegiance.

Well if they make a Cybertruck 2 that's lifted and looks like the Dildozer, they might have a new market. It'll get 50 miles per-charge, but it'll intimidate their neighbor's kid, so it's worth the $380,000 price tag (financed, of course).

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 1 points 1 minute ago

I don't think the MAGA Cult can even AFFORD electric vehicles, I mean, shit I know I can't.

Imagine the CEO of Browning or American Rifles helping Joe Biden pick out a new gun from a display in the state dining room.

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

The difference is Biden is a gun owner. So at least it would be buying a product he actually has. There has been incidents referencing him and his wife having at least a shotgun (so 2+ guns)

With Trump hating on electric cars like he had for so long, and not knowing how to drive, it's a bit different.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 3 points 28 minutes ago

Old rich guy like Biden probably has loads of nice, quality, antique guns.

[–] baggachipz@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 hour ago

They’re trying the “buy EVs to own the libs” angle. It’s a bold strategy, Cotton….

[–] juergen@feddit.org 9 points 2 hours ago

which is great, because it will increase the chance that tesla will go down and with that elon musk.

[–] chakan2@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

Eh...put a lift kit, USA flag wrap, and a smoke machine on the cyber truck and they'd double sales.

Yeah, that's part of the problem, Elon.

[–] eran_morad@lemmy.world 15 points 2 hours ago

Best i can do is $3.50.

[–] singletona@lemmy.world 53 points 3 hours ago

Same people proudly claiming the market is self regulating shocked when the market responds to them being openly fascist cunts.

[–] assassinatedbyCIA@lemmy.world 119 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Who knew that being a publicly facing cunt makes people not want to buy your product. Shocking discovery.

[–] roofuskit@lemmy.world 48 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

These people literally live in reaffirming social bubbles they have created. On and offline both. They don't see that they are overplaying their hand.

This article should bring you joy.

a cultivated image of Musk as a Thomas Edison or Tony Stark type

LMAO! See Tony Stark blow Musk off like a loser in Iron Man II:

I'd be humiliated were I him. His head's so far up his ass he likely sees that cameo as a plus.

If beattheshitoutofmytesla.com was a thing I'd do contract work on my weekends.
