    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…

      Well you can tell by the numbers, many people are leaving because of bad moderation and the echo chamber mentality. I mistakenly thought this was a group to talk about electric cars which is a topic I am passionate about.

      Now to the topic, I can see layoffs or pauses on the y and 3 line. Not sure about the x or s line

      I cannot see layoffs on the cyber truck line as they have a backlog of several years. It would make zero business sense to disrupt that line.

      I do agree with Elon, interest rates are hurting sales. I also think Elon is hurting sales with his strange behavior. I also think some of the recent design choices were strange.

      I get about 280 miles per charge with my 3. I think they need to get about 500 to drive more sales.

      ETA: and thank you for trying to engage in a conversation instead of buzzwords and catch phrases. The only way lemmy survives is through interaction.
