I feel like I have seen way too many on the road for only 3000 to have been sold.
Maybe I have a lot of dipshits living near me?
Gotta be hyperbole, or an old post. Google says 39,000.
Can you imagine. Putting together an entire assembly line. Logistics. Parts outsourcing. From the die stamp machine with tolerances of 0.0001" to make those shitty stainless steel bodies to how many rolls of toilet paper there should be in each stall, or the type of soap in the luch room. All those intricate details. To only sell 39,000 of those shitboxes.
Tesla probably skipped half that, the die stamp machine is from a dumpster in Detroit, and employees are expected to shit at a Starbucks during their break.
Yeah, there’s certainly not anything on that machine with a tolerance higher than 0.005
I’ve seen one in the non capitol or metro area in Canada I live in, though there is money here since it’s nice. So yeah I figured there must be more out there than the post said. First one I’ve seen in person, it look liked it belonged in a B movie, I couldn’t help but laugh. I do think it’s a good thing for people try and pollute less of course, just not want to give more money to the Nazi born having already won the game of life.
Musk is defunding the EPA. Giving 100 grand to that turtlesack doesn’t count as “polluting less” in my book.
You are lucky. I see several every day.
Same. I see one everyday minimum. I saw two in one parking lot once. I have probably seen up to 5 in a day before.
Red car syndrome? Or maybe you live in a better off area? I don’t think you’re gonna see too many of these dumpsters in rural areas, so wealthier suburban/urban areas is where they’ll be. Even in my small town about 90 miles from a metro area there are at least two I see regularly. They really stand out.
you do indeed see them in rural areas if you live in a blue state
I am pretty sure the 3,000 figure was the initial founders edition and that the figure should be revised now. some asshole in my town had one of the original ones though I’m pretty sure
It’s always shocking how much worse these look in person.
Like photography cannot capture how stupid these monstrosities look
They trigger a special gag reflex you didn’t know was there
It makes me laugh. The side view driving amongst other vehicles is especially funny.
And a reflex reaction from a specific finger.
They look awful. Slightly less awful when wrapped, but I heard that Tesla fucked up the bonding surface for wraps or something so they’re basically unremovable, but will deteriorate with age.
Depends on what color they wrap it in. Sometimes it exaggerates the panel gaps, er, I mean sometimes it really shows off Teslas commitment to quality
its also a 7000lb death trap and charcuterie machine.
I’m both glad and disappointed I haven’t seen one in Europe. I feel like I’m missing out on a circus tour.
Every time I see one I find something else that makes it revolting. It’s absolutely horrific.
Watch them hit a bump and almost fall apart.
Especially from the front or back. It’s hard to even comprehend that it’s a car. I was very shocked the first time I saw one.
especially when they WRAP the travesty. the cybertrucks height gives just enough cover where its difficult to see the embarrasment of a driver, unless you were very close.
Is this an old post? Because over 46 thousand have been sold as of March.
Still, that’s not helluva lot considering the global or even countrywide population. Had to look it up because if they really did only ever sell 3000 of them, then a significant portion of those buyers live around me.
46 thousand … where? maybe 3000 in their town?
I’m in a very liberal city and I have seen a few of these with business logos plastered all over them. It’s like they are advertising that you shouldn’t use their business.
Yup. There’s an urgent care near me that has a wrapped swastikar out front. I think I would rather die than go there.
Surely it’s more than 3k. I see quite a few in Canada.
Looks like it’s more like 46k as of a few months ago
What the fuck? How are there ~46,000 people this fucking stupid??

you’ve got too many sig figs
fig this guys sigs
I like sig figs and I cannot lie
they should all go live in a remote town in a flyover state.
You are forgetting Trump got elected.
Fair
I could point to a random small town on a map anywhere in the deep south and get you a whole town full of people with similar energy. They’re just too fucking broke to buy anything like this.
Nazis. Each and every last one of them. Easy to identify.
alot of them are in tech hub areas, so seattle norcal, and some magats may have purchased it too.
Let me guess, BC?
Once or twice every decade a clown car gets released and a handful of dipshits buy them and become the red-headed stepchildren of our roadways. The butt of jokes. Cautionary tales.
Ford Pinto
Pontiac Aztek
Chrysler PT Cruiser
Tesla Cybercuck
I would 100% drive a convertible PT Cruiser and I’d do it with pride 😄 I mean it absolutely is a silly car but like in a self aware way if that makes sense
It’s a hot tub on wheels
They’re very hard to kill and you can jam the srt4 motor into them without crazy amounts of work.
Omg Aunt Janet?! Lol.
I joke but my dream car is an El Camino.
Don’t sleep on the Delorean! Those things were the laughing stock of America before Back to the Future made them cool again. Funny enough, they had many of the same problems Musk’s stainless steel, uh, thing, has.
The cube
The Pinto is a bit different as they were useful, reasonably priced, and fairly popular. If hadn’t ended up with that combination of bumper and gas tank placement, the model name would probably still be going strong.
The Pinto also suffered some hellacious PR at the time. I was a child and still remember that hate.
Aztek💀
With the QC of a Yugo.
Nissan Murano convertible
Land Rover Evoque convertible
VW T-Roc convertible
No I’m not biased.
The Nissan Murano convertible will always be the ugliest vehicle to me.
Dont you dare diss the Pinto and Aztek. The flaws of the Pinto was present within a lot of the eras cars it just happens that the Pinto got the reputation of being the squicky wheel. The Aztek while fugly and a bit fucky repair wise is a somewhat respectable vehicle. The PT cruiser is certainly a car that exists.
The cybercuck on the other hand has the build quality of a Yugo with none of the redeeming qualities like being cheap or theoretically easy to work on, also it isn’t a meme car by virtue of being too stubborn to die. The cybercuck just wants to die.
Don’t forget the Chevy Avalanche.
I always thought that and a friend who’s a truck guy was like “no, they’re actually pretty great.”
The Avalanche wasn’t that bad. You could even get it with an 8.1 L V8.
I have seen 2 of those in the wild they were in mint shape. They were also in scrap yard. Turn out the 8.1l had a fuel economy of, how ever long is the fuel hose at the gas station? Those poor shleps that got suckered into those trucks.
I always call them "PT-Loser"s
Id say the Le Car and Yugo can be added to the list. My first car was a hand me down gremlin.
There’s a couple of dozen of them in the area where I work…
Several of them have wraps. 😒
Where you work fucken Yucaipa? Cause for some gods forsaken reason there are several here, I assume it’s exclusively old dipshit yuppies.
I live in Toronto, they are fucking everywhere. teslas in general but I see cybertrucks daily. A lot of dbags around here i guess.
Aren’t they only legal in the US? Or did something change recently?
It’s illegal in the EU, I don’t think Canada has that same ban
No ban, street safety rules. Quite likely that canada is a bit more lenient there, having more space and all.
It’s not like the EU actively needed to do anything to not allow them. They are just so shit, they were basically spawn kills for the EU.
There is one in our area, but I only ever saw it parked and empty until recently. When I finally ran across it on pulling out of a parking lot, I got a look and the driver and he looks like a bootleg RFK Jr.
oh yea old people desperate for attention buy it, on reddit on the very same sub, people bought it for the attention it brings, and its usually an older guy, gen x types.
I’ll never understand why the design of this thing so unlike all of the other vehicles in the Tesla lineup. It’s soooo fugly.
All of his companies have people whose job it is to distract Elon musk when he tries to get involved. Tesla’s must have been on vacation or something.
Because this thing was Musk’s pet project.
The other cars are mild steel shells on alloy subframes. They mild steel is easy to press into shape
Cybertruck is stainless steel, it is much harder than mild steel and doesn’t bend easily, so they made it out of flat panels
Yet DeLorean Motor Company figured out how to do it 40 years ago, and designed a much cooler looking vehicle with it…
Indeed. Much of what makes cybertruck look bad is its proportions.
We have a few I’ve seen around. one in particular was seemingly bought, vinyl wrapped, and parked in a busy lot to advertise some restaurant that’s not even nearby 🤦♂️ It probably wouldn’t even start now. It hasn’t moved in several months and there’s no chargers near it in that lot lol
It’s probably dead
I’m quite confident it’s dead, and that makes my heart happy
What ever happened with the Canada tax scam they did?
Ive seen at least 4 or 5. Kinda wild there are that many suckers driving around
There’s an appalling number of local dipshits in Austin. I see a couple wankpanzers a day.
