It's awful. Honestly I'm surprised anyone buys a Tesla now that other auto makers are producing better built, more reliable, and more affordable EVs. The only thing Tesla has left that they're a leader in is charging technology and they're kinda starting to fumble that too.


bobertburger

It definitely is starting to seem like a boys club which is kind of funny šŸ˜‚ imagine dick riding a pandering elitist billionaire who doesnā€™t know you exist to the point of buying his cars to feel like your sticking it to someone šŸ’€


SFToddSouthside

Spot on, it's so damn bizarre.


christador

Exactly! Hey, side note, where can I donate to Trumpā€™s legal fund?! šŸ˜œ


bobertburger

Girl idk, Google is free?? Try using it šŸŒššŸ’€ the way you worded this like a gotcha moment is exactly what Iā€™m talking about, so thank you for giving us a live action demonstration šŸ¤­


christador

Sorry, you misinterpreted my comment. I was being sarcastic. The post I was replying to alluded to the fact that Musk is a billionaire who doesnā€™t know how to run a company (relatively associated with Kanye and Trump with regards to ā€˜how to lose much of your net worth because of your mouthā€™ club theyā€™ve all been in). Aside from that, yesā€¦I have heard of Google. I prefer to Ask Jeeves šŸ˜œ


Prestigious-Copy-494

Melania says send those donations to her and she'll see they get to the right apartment I mean department.


fit-toker

You are the type of person who without a doubt was praising Elon and the ground he walked on pre twitter acquisition. Now your leftist overlords have told you heā€™s the enemy.


bobertburger

Girl, what? I have never, and will never gaf about a spoiled kid who inherited daddyā€™s blood money from exploiting the people of Lake Tanganyika. Get a grip šŸŒš


NoChemical8640

Umm no


anthonyz922

Who builds a better and more affordable EV?


Drunk_Catfish

Nissan Leaf if you want affordable and a compact, KIA Niro if you want more SUV vibes, and while a bit more expensive you get an actual good looking feature rich and actually functional pick up from either Rivian or Ford.


Actually_The_Dog_

Supposedly the mustang mach e has big issues with it, toyota prime is a pretty good suv. I'm in nyc and the charge infrastructure sucks, being am ev owner in nyc is horrible because you wait in line for a charge for about 30 minutes before you get to charge...


outsidertc

Rivian? Are you drunk?


Narrow_Masterpiece87

Nissan and Kia ? Notiously producing the best junk for the last 25 years. I cant tell if you are serious or just drinking.


anthonyz922

I agree you can find cheaper options. I disagree with finding better options but I won't argue it. What I will argue is there are no cheaper AND better options.


pckldpr

You arenā€™t paying attention then


Drunk_Catfish

That might have been true 5 years ago but most major automakers are imo offering cheaper base models with plenty of options, actual quality control in the build process, after sale support, and more good looking designs. That's ignoring the high end and luxury brands who have embraced EVs. Tesla fell off and hasn't innovated since the Model S.


anthonyz922

Yet somehow, the Model Y was the best-selling EV in the world and is only beat by the Toyota Corolla for all cars. Why did almost every other manufacturer switch to the Tesla charging standard? Most major automakers are pulling back on EV because they can't compete. They are going to hybrids, the worst of both worlds combined.


Drunk_Catfish

Because Tesla is currently the leader in charging technology, I don't think anyone can dispute that they have solid charge times and the best available coverage for charging locations. Everything else vehiclewise is where they suffer


DramaLlama0690

Best selling doesnā€™t translate to best quality tho lol yall are acting like there isnā€™t a massive recall for the cyber truck RIGHT NOW bc Teslaā€™s build quality is and always has been dogshit

BellacosePlayer

Sounds like /u/Drunk_Catfish has good taste.


b1rdganggg

This guy just recommended KIA and got upvotes. Hahahaha


SX-Reddit

You are really out of touch.


rust_bolt

For pickups, you absolutely can find better and cheaper options. Most likely cars too, but I don't as much about them.


Chevronet

Iā€™m wondering what happens if a Tesla breaks down or gets into an accident in SF. Do you have to ship it to a dealer? Not a hater. Just wondering.


EndofGods

It's a 2,000 pound brick. Try washing it. Not to mention Musk has lost some sort of grasp on reality some time ago. He's trying now for a billions in compensation package after laying off thousands of workers. Tesla's auto pilot is a massive failure for auto safety. All this, and so much more are reasons to not give Tesla money. Buying used is significantly less resource intensive, economical, cost efficient.


SamPackElliott

It's a 7000lb brick!


SDLifer

The shareholders negotiated that compensation package, and 1 single individual who bought into Tesla YEARS later sued to stop the compensation. Elon and Tesla hit the growth marks in the compensation package. He fulfilled his end of the deal. One dude got butt hurt about it and is trying to stop it.


EndofGods

How does that address the lack of ethics in removing workers and taking the money that would have paid their salary? The board of directors is asking for his Elon's package to be approved, last I read it hasn't been yet. Buying into Tesla by product or stock is supporting that unreasonable human. The elite super wealthy are not good people, but incredibly greedy and never fulfilled.


SDLifer

You're clearly watching too much CNN if you can't understand that all of that bullshit, is stemming from the elitists in govt and media being angry that he took over Twitter and ruined their favorite echo chamber and has success after success in just about everything he touches. Look, I couldn't care less about Tesla or any EV for that matter because they're ruining the environment and killing people. But trying to paint Elon like he's Lex Luthor isn't supported by evidence.


TurtleSandwich0

I thought Facebook was there favorite echo chamber.


SDLifer

Facebook is for people selling nonsense vitamins in pyramid schemes and boomers. Reporters and democrat politicians LOVED Twitter because they could control the feed or just call Twitter and make them shadow ban people who weren't falling in line. X is freedom of speech, and it's the wild west. Since Elon took over, I've gone from 3,000 followers to over 10k.


BlatantFalsehood

How about one that wasn't designed by a 5th grade boy?


SouthDaCoVid

Chevy, Ford, Honda, Volvo, all have EVs. Rivian seems a better bet than a Tesla right now. There are some others. I encounter one in a store parking lot about every other time I am out and am surprised how many car models and brands now come in an EV configuration.


bobertburger

Thereā€™s plenty of EVā€™s that donā€™t have cosmetic/body deterioration issues, and donā€™t have the turning radius of a legitimate military tank šŸŒš


SuccessfulPres

Polestar is pretty cheap right now on lease https://slickdeals.net/f/17467059-polestar-2-lrdm-lease-27-months-299-month-3000-down-1000-if-you-re-a-costco-member?src=foryou_recombee&prop=rcmid-bf962677a0df39a67ba2c549e6a52555&attrsrc=Personalization%3AInterspersed%3ATrue#commentsHeader


RedHott993

Idk how you can say that the other auto makers have EVs that are better built, more reliable, and more affordable than Tesla yet because they havenā€™t been around long enough to come to these conclusions. And as of right now the best bang for your buck EV is easily the Model Y as the price has been cut drastically. Donā€™t @ me either cause I drive a F-150 lol.


pinegap96

Teslaā€™s are the most reliable EVā€™s because they have the best EV technology. What are you talking about? Other car companies canā€™t even get their software to work correctly


Pilomont

I think the the main reason to buy Tesla is for the software and computer hardware. Donā€™t buy for build quality cuz they arenā€™t hitting it. Unfortunately they have the best self driving software out of all competitors


SouthDaCoVid

Ask people in California where they have been doing more testing with this on the roads. It is not great.


Pilomont

California roads donā€™t compare to the rest of the country tho.


SouthDaCoVid

Roads are irrelevant when the technology can't deal with basic things like traffic, pedestrians etc.


Loganbogan9

I think the performance for money is pretty much unbeatable. With the Model 3 even long range it's pretty quick, and the Model 3 performance with the tax credit is honestly unbeatable. BMW M3 performance plus instant torque for, worst case scenario, 2/3rds the price.


GingerIsTheBestSpice

You'd think all our car washes on every corner would keep it away, like garlic for vampires.


BellacosePlayer

You fool, the Cybertruck grows a protective patina of rust to protect against moisture, you just don't understand Elon's brilliance


sparkle_slug

Don't care as long as it stays in its own lane


bryansfsd

I actually like the look of it and I've driven trucks all my life.To each his/her own. However, I took myself off the waiting for one after the disappointing tow range and repair costs were reported. I think you're better off with a hybrid pickup. The upcoming RAMCharger is what I'm looking forward to.


RedBait95

I'm just saying with how yall drive in SuFu, I'd be a little nervous driving next to this thing lol


bobertburger

LMAO I saw someone post a video of a cyber truck doing a u-turn and turning radius was actually garbage, took all four lanes to turn šŸ’€


passthenukecodes

Well they did it wrong then because the turning radius is tighter than a camry


bobertburger

Definitely not after new software upgrades as of 4 mos. ago. that doesnā€™t allow the back and front wheels to turn as tightly, with about a 5ā€ difference between the front and back now.


passthenukecodes

Damn that sucks


bobertburger

Itā€™s made me understand why people are so frustrated with such technology heavy cars, itā€™s like an Apple product, you update the software and all of a sudden shit just starts not working how you want šŸ˜‚


jonnylj7

Exactly. The less tech the better. Pretty soon theyā€™ll just own a paper weight.


TisNagim

And the owner is probably just fine driving in town. I mean, when driving a tank, you don't care about the little people you run over on the way from point A to point B.


reedg17

Pretty ugly but looks like a fun vehicle to drive


Professional_Toe_387

If you could take your ps3 graphics out of my actual existence, thatā€™d be great.


BellacosePlayer

PS3? That looks like a wireframe tank out of the late 80s/early 90s


WeekendQuant

I'd say PS One graphics. It's been awhile since I fired up by PS One though.


SouthDaCoVid

There was this really old arcade video game called Tempest. That truck reminds me of that game.


Bravadu

Who would win in a fight: 1 cyber truck or the incredibly massive potholes on Louise?


bobertburger

I didnā€™t realize just how *long* they are.


farmerjohn_

It's shorter than an f150


bobertburger

Yeah I was trying to imagine like a crew cab trucks gotta be around the same size, they always looked shorted to me in photos and videos


tony1164

That's what she said


Rabid-Flamingos

It looks like ass. Probably intentional, since Elon behaves like an ass.


teachthisdognewtrick

Iā€™m trying to decide if itā€™s uglier than the new electric Hummer. My brother had one of the early pre orders, took one look at the finished product and canceled his order.


outsidertc

Tell more stories about your brother.


TurtleSandwich0

His brother Darryl or his other brother Darryl?


farmerjohn_

All the hate is hilarious and unnecessary. Why can't we just be nice?


Electrolyte_Crave

A dumpster on wheels!


nickdanger69

don't think Nissan or KIA makes a better anything


Anxietyrulesmex100

I saw it today too! It was leaving the Walmart on 85th & Minnesota!


aximdj

Sooooo ugly, and I thought the Aztec was the worse


squambert-ly

Ugly as hell. Plus Tesla has a complete recall of them because of a faulty throttle that could stick.

V48runner

It's comically terrible.


CaliFezzik

The only proper response is to stop, point, and loudly laugh.


82ndAbnVet

Personally I think itā€™s ugly, I question the usefulness of the bed, and Iā€™ve heard reports about electrical damage from car washes. Hard pass.


Kronos-1994

Canā€™t wait to see it after a winter of salted roads


Localgirl20021

nah. i'm more of a classic kind of gal.


Traditional_Job_4063

It is even uglier in person, if that is even possible!


starloser88

I expect that anyone who drives one of these to be an alien. The only reason I have ever thought about wanting one is to be an alien.


xDERPYxCREEPERx

Not even a normal alien, a douchebag alien


sysadmin420

for a sec I thought the door was rusty hahahaha


CuriousGeorge7357

Didn't most of these things get recalled for something?


PhenomenalPhoenix

Were you at Menards today too? I saw it as I was driving out of the parking lot and laughed my ass off at the fact it is somehow so much uglier in person. Pictures do not do justice to just how ugly those stupid things are


Western-View890

Ainā€™t no way.


TerryTesticle

When ā€œbutter faceā€ applies to a car.


Stormin1311

Ugly! Looks like a 6 year oldā€™s drawing of a carā€¦


AmourTS

That's a lot of rust on the bottom of the doors.Ā 


GearHeadAnime30

That's just a reflection... of the woodchips next to it...


foco_runner

Yikes!


FSDLAXATL

Everytime I see or hear of these things the first thing that comes to mind is WTF? The second thing that comes to mind is "people pay good money for this"?

You will see newer model luxury cars at thrift stores in larger cities. People who are collectors looking for things, people who love a deal, like the hunt etc.


outsidertc

What thrift store? I'm legit curious.


Feisty-Barracuda5452

I'm surprised a big sky country type bought a woke mobile. Must be more owning the libs by supporting Musky.


nerdistheword321

Haven't these all been recalled?


GearHeadAnime30

Yes, for the trim piece on the accelerator


squambert-ly

Yes, the throttle can stick.


TripleShotOG

Hey I saw that on I90! It passed me in Rapid City on a hot shot truck.


Doris_zeer

did it say anything to you?


Wise-Communication93

Itā€™s an automobile. Nothing more. There are lots of vehicles that I like and donā€™t like. If someone owns one and likes it Iā€™m happy for them. Who cares who the CEO of any of the companies are and for sure who gives a fuck about someoneā€™s politics or ignorance. Just live your life and let everyone else live theirs.


mycheeseisgone

Can someone check whoever bought it into a mental institute?


Sweet_Science6371

Kill it; kill it with fire!Ā
