      Interesting. My dog is licking himself. I bet he is also thinking about chasing a model Y. I could be wrong. I don’t speak dog.

          I don’t believe articles discussing rumors in general. I like to wait until it’s actually news.

          I only commented because your response had nothing to do with the price of tea in China. That’s all.

                  Let’s break it down.

                  I’m on the waitlist for the truck.

                  Cool. I guess this is related to the “news” of pending layoffs… somehow.

                  Obviously there is demand for it.

                  Because you are on the waitlist? Is that why you think the demand is obvious? Or that your anecdotal evidence is relevant? So I guess when I went to Best Buy last night after they closed I can also say the demand for them to stay open longer is obvious… because, you know, I am the center of my universe.

                  I don’t know if I’ll buy yet,

                  But you just said there was demand. Now I am confused. So do you want it or not? Sounds like the self professed demand may not exist?

                  but I haven’t been notified yet.

                  It’s like you’re trying to close up some previous thread, but I’m having trouble finding either a beginning or an end.

          The rumors have now been confirmed by Tesla.

          Your point makes sense. I don’t know why people decided you pointing out the deep wait list was some kind of main character thing.

          That said, it may be that they’re staffing to catch up and just maintain at actual demand since I expect it’s lower than hoped.

      Fair warning but whenever I see anyone driving a cyber truck I just see that person on their knees deep throating Elon like they’re life depends on it.
      It’s ugly, for your own good don’t do it.

      When I see a Tesla driving I know the driver is a douchebag, but if I saw a cybertruck, oh man, I might even have to yell something to make fun of you.

      You shouldn’t be getting down voted.

      Whether Musk is a cunt or not, you’ve made a reasonable contribution to the discussion at hand.

      Lemmy is going to become a very boring echo chamber if we downvote for no other reason than “I don’t like that opinion”.

      Edit: getting downvoted for wrong think. You should take a look at yourselves

        Yeah, I was surprised how many down votes both of you got. It’s a straightforward contributory comment. You might not like the cyber truck, but that’s no reason to down vote.

          It was entirely nonsensical. Did not contribute anything to the conversation more than a flight of ideas. But yes, when 90 80% of votes are downvotes, it must be “them”.

          Edit: Here, I’ll take the time to write what would have been a useful addition:

          Cybertruck wait times reportedly stretched beyond four years at the time of first deliveries – based on 1 million pre-orders. That appears to be a significant pent-up demand in at least one model. KBB currently says Tesla sales in the U.S. were down 13.3% year over year, so I would assume something less than a 20% layoff, but understand a possible need to rebalance to meet the market.

            They said there is a wait list for the truck. I didn’t know that, and assuming it’s true, does imply demand. Demand for a good is directly tied to the health of a company. Seems to be related and contribute to the conversation, which is what I thought we used to determine if something is up voted.

              If someone telling you they are in a waitlist for a product, but don’t know if they actually want it, is useful - I can only hope it’s towards the unpredictable nature of Tesla customers, or perhaps the unreliability of Tesla themselves - even in this we cannot glean useful info.

              It was terrible. The 9 current upvotes leaves me sad at the reasoning ability of my neighbors…
