Fuck Tesla without any lube.

[–] L3s@lemmy.world 30 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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 24 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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 13 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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 1 year ago (1 children)

They probably spent it, though.

[–] L3s@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Narrator: “that’s totally what they did”

(It’s also pretty illegal, IIRC)

[–] berkat@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Elon is a rich con artist.

[–] eee@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] dynamojoe@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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 1 year ago

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

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 1 year 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 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (4 children)

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

[–] rtxn@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

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

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

The charging socket might be exciting,

[–] Resolved3874@lemdro.id 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How do you make your name like that?

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] Resolved3874@lemdro.id 2 points 1 year ago

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

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

[–] Coeus@coeus.sbs 11 points 1 year ago

Is the Cyber Truck going to be plagued with issues?

[–] fubo@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year 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!

[–] VisualCicada@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

Ugly truck, but looking forward to seeing one soon

[–] FartsWithAnAccent@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

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

[–] const_void@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Finally, a Tesla for the Elon/MAGA supporters.

[–] ChaoticEntropy@feddit.uk 2 points 1 year ago

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