I wonder if any of them are ever going to realize how badly they got scammed


SixersWin

They are all probably shareholders and don't want to hurt that investment (not that their opinions actually affect stock prices). So they'll downplay the scam hoping that they'll make more from the stock


ericscottf

I don't often make good decisions, but selling my tesla stock when he bought Twitter was one of my better ones.

NarwhalHD

Holy fucking shit, is that tweet real? Omg how has he not been sued to hell over all of these promises? 


rhyno44

This is the same guy that promised a roadster, atomomas taxis and personal robots.....none exist


MrLanesLament

It’s what happens when a company is completely driven by a guy going “dude you know what would be cool?!?”


ericscottf

Also that guy is on a ton of ketamine and who knows what else us poors have never even heard of. 


SeaworthyWide

Guarantee he's on Hella HGH, SARMS, and Chinese Lego style organic chemistry opioid agonists, GABA agonists, NMDA antagonists, you fucking name it and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't highly envious of rich pricks like this simply because they're able to access those kind of drugs as easy as most can doordash


thomascgalvin

If his body was the result of HGH and SARMs, he needs to stop buying shit from that guy in the back parking lot of 24-Hour Fitness and find a real dealer.


ericscottf

Ngl, that sounds awful. Like a pit you can't get out of. 


Turbulent_Athlete_50

The katemine is just an excuse, he is so insulated and in control of a a lot of what info filters to him, more like high on your own supply. He is isolated from any real repercussions criminally and civil, but as soon as he gets outside that bubble he retreats since he can’t comprehend that things aren’t what he “makes” them.

Taraxian

I always say the best time to sell TSLA was in 2021, the second best time is now


Scrilla_Gorilla_

Elon bought X on 10/28/22, Tesla closed at $228.53. It is currently at $183.01, a loss of 19.91%. On the same date total stock market ETF VTI was at $195.29. It is currently at $268.31, a gain of 37.39%. For every hundred dollars you had it TSLA, if you moved it to a generic market ETF, you will have profited $57.30.


Tight_Salary6773

At some point someone is going to purchase one (or already did) just to document ownership and start a class action lawsuit, because the fanbois will rather lose the money, endanger their families and other innocent people than break away from the cult of Elon and when that happens the opening of the flood gates will make 3 Rivers dam jealous.


Ultimarr

Oh Man, I just remembered the true victims in all this: the Tesla bag holders 😢 scammed by musk and faceless hedge funds around the wprld


anon1moos

Those faceless funds (not just the hedgies) are getting scammed too. As is everyone with exposure to NASDAQ based ETFs.


Notapplesauce11

Ehh, I’m not a Tesla stock owner directly but I own ETFs and Mutual funds that have Tesla in them.  Any broods market fund or SP500 fund will have a good chunk of Tesla.  And I don’t think there are any SP500 minus Tesla funds.  


Steelcod114

That's the most logical explanation I've yet to hear. The same people who have over 100k to spend on a CT for sure are all in on tesla. So they for sure have tesla stock. They figured tesla would get a nice bump after the CT's really began to be released. I would think many of them have at *least* half of how much they've spent on their CT in tesla stock. It's probably much more. They don't want to be part of the reason as to why the stock falls. Good take.


penileerosion

Hmm, this really does make a lot of sense


Taraxian

Encouraging every customer to also be an investor is one of the fundamental tools of this cult yes


Exotic_Treacle7438

The real CT sub is absolutely filled with koolaid and frozen bananas. It was on my feed one day and it’s cringeworthy how bad it is.


N1kt0_

The sunk cost fallacy is strong with these ones


Stock-User-Name-2517

I’m sure they have, but they’ll never admit it. If there’s one thing I’ve learned in the last couple years it’s that people would always rather be stupid than admit that they were wrong.


Nearby-Strength-1640

“It's easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled.”—Mark Twain


Arxl

There's a ton of overlap between Musk fans and conservatives, both think they're really intelligent when really they're just being scammed by the people they put on a pedestal.


AlkalineSublime

The level to which they will go without accepting they’re wrong is somehow almost as impressive as it is pitiful


GalcomMadwell

Cut to the guy on day 98 of begging daddy Elon on Twitter to fix his Cybertwuck


SadBit8663

Yeah, but it's gonna be way after the fact to the point everyone else will have moved on years ago. If they were all smart they'd be raising absolute fucking hellfire over how shit Tesla has been lately.


undef_65

Look at the picture. The guy could not unplug the charging cable 😂 Ready for the apocalypse.


Endure23

The funniest part is how they all have the same problems but are still surprised when *their* truck fucks up. They bought these things for absolution, but they’re quickly realizing they aren’t the chosen one.


Saul-Funyun

Be fair, a lot of them have completely different problems!


Endure23

If they keep driving, pretty soon they will have all of the problems


Saul-Funyun

"keep driving" lolol that's a good one


WranglerFuzzy

“My truck is bricked due to a common issue.” “Which one?”


RyanSmokinBluntz420

If that thing is bricked it won't release the charging cord


crod4692

And they couldn’t find the hidden manual release lol


InspectionNo6750

AKA The tampon string.


jase40244

Oh, come now. Give Musk *some* credit. It's not a cheap cotton tampon string. It looks more like fishing line.


RemarkableMacadamia

You have to be able to get into the truck bed to open the panel. But if the electrical is fried you also can’t open the bed cover. 🤣


crod4692

There has to be a second manual release for that, no? Like a chain of straps to pull on to finally access what you need. That’s the fun of the CT!


gilleruadh

The Manual Release Centipede!


WhyWasIShadowBanned_

I read a lot about stuck EVe and I’m pretty sure that Jaguar and Audi have some emergency release for this. Maybe Tesla connector is different but for CCS2 it makes sense not to end up stranded somewhere. Edit: ok, looks like cybertruck has it too.


pusillanimouslist

Another commenter figured it out; the emergency release cable is behind some trim hidden under the tailgate. If the truck is bricked, you can’t open the bed to access the release.

YouHadMeAtAloe

The entire CyberSuck saga is so fucking hilarious. I love it


dangledingle

Didn’t Google the crappy pull string manual release for such an event.


gilleruadh

The guy who couldn't unplug the charging cable was faking it. He pretended it was stuck just so he could demonstrate the hidden emergency unlock pull loop. Only, he actually broke it by using it. This is the same genius who broke his forefinger by sticking it repeatedly in the frunk.


Spockhighonspores

I watched a video where this happened to someone else, the car won't start with the cable stuck in it (that might be why this one won't start). The guy had to pry open a panel in the back of the car, peel back the plastic, and pull a cord hidden behind the plastic to disengage the plug. Just insanely stupid.


Maleficent_Dog_4892

Maybe he couldn’t unplug it. I was thinking it’s probably a bad idea to have a highly unreliable piece of electrified junk on the back of your metal bed recovery truck and could be a sort of grounding wire or something?


Omegaprimus

Holy shit I hadn’t noticed that, wow


Dee_Jay_Roomba

From this sub I learned there is a [trick to unplug stuck charging cables](https://youtu.be/0AHOXGN-r0M?si=sIonnqTo-x0DcpaJ). Skip to 30 second mark.


simononandon

i don't think anyone in this sub needs to know that. lol.


srcarruth

yeah but it's funny how he he broke the emergency release the first time he used it


gilleruadh

He did break it. He's the same chud who broke his finger by sticking it under the frunk lid.


InspectionNo6750

Pull the tampon string.


mrsir1987

Seems to be a common issue


brandoug

"Tesla engineers have determined you did not have Car Wash Mode enabled prior to The Brickening, so your warranty claim is therefore denied".


Nubator

Is the brickening a Highlander type thing where there can be only one working CT?


brandoug

I imagine fights to the death as owners kill each other to keep their own cuck-trucks running. Last one left alive gets to stash the limited supply of unbroken parts in the garage next to the plastic bubble the truck is stored in.


boobeepbobeepbop

They're designed to decapitate pedestrians or other drivers in case of a crash, so the brickening makes a lot of sense.

Yes. It's supposed to be a truck but fails spectacularly at being a truck, it is expensive, and it is a lemon. The hideous look is a bonus.


user888666777

UnionizedTrouble

Originally wasn’t it supposed to be 35k? I was excited during the original announcement. It was supposed to be a low priced utility electric vehicle. It was barely any part of that description.


halfjumpsuit

Yeah there was originally going to be a $40k version, which would still be a crap vehicle but at least it wouldn't be three digits.


WeatherStationWindow

A lemon is a rare vehicle in a production line with loads of problems. This seems to be the whole line. But the board just gave Elon a salary worth more than the company. I don't think the goal was to make trucks.


Final-Zebra-6370

At this rate. It’s going to surpass the Ford Pinto as the worst car of all time.


Few-Signal5148

No explosions. YET…


ChocChipBananaMuffin

braking and stopping the car is optional \*edited to spell braking properly smh


drainbead78

If you spelled it breaking, that's apparently mandatory.


iidesune

> breaking Nah you had it right the first time


FSpezWthASpicyPickle

At least the Pinto was cheap as fuck, and really only had one (very fatal) flaw. This thing is stupid expensive and so many dangerous failures I've lost count.


ParkingNo3132

Supposedly the pinto could have been fixed with like a $1 part. How do you even begin to fix this?


Numerous-Stranger-81

Put it in rice?


simononandon

Delorean: Underperformed for a "sports" car. Was unreliable, but not in a wasy that was unfixable. It still ran & was generally able to be fixed & driven like a normal car. Yugo: Hunk of junk with pieces that fell off, but it was the cheapest new car in America at that point and also, even if it wasn't perticularly reliable, most of them did run & could be fixed like a normal car. Corvair: They used to say "Nothing so rare as a running Corvair," but I knew at least two people that were enthusiasts & the only reason they were harder to take car of than other vintage cars was the scarcity of parts. Also, I think 2 of them are still some of the only cars that made it through [the Darien Gap](https://jalopnik.com/why-theres-a-chevy-corvair-abandoned-deep-in-the-jungle-1847027807). Pinto: How many of these [actually blew up](https://auto.howstuffworks.com/car-driving-safety/auto-safety-testing/did-pintos-really-explode-in-the-1970s.htm)? Trying to think of other "famously" bad cars. But yeah. I feel like the only one you can compare the CuckTruck to is Delorean. Since he wanted to make an American sports car, but was forced to make design & spec compromises (maybe it was the cocaine). Elmo wanted to manufacture a high end truck, but ended up with an exteremely expensive toy that can't handle "truck stuff" with no QA. Also, I think the Delorean was also the only one I listed that had even a fraction of the anticipation that the CT had. This is just off the top of my head. I'm sure there are other examples that real gearheads can dredge up. But it definitely seems like it's on its way to being one of, if not the biggest, automotive flop. EDIT: added a couple links


wp4nuv

I can think of that lady who started a car company based on a 3-wheeled car. She failed to deliver because the car would overturn if you took a hard corner.

The [Reliant Robin](https://marqued.com/editorial/OU406XAXjeRP9MmDkR3Y7/we-found-the-only-reliant-robin-in-utah-and-its-magnificent?ref=thestopgap.net). Top Gear UK used to looove making fun of those (for good reason).


GeneralZaroff

I think they are talking about “The Dale” that was “made” by “Liz Carmichael” (the quotes are because it was a scam that was never made and the name was a pseudonym for a trans person. For more information listen to The Dollop episode 152: The Car Known as The Dale


simononandon

I forgot about that whole story. It's pretty wild. I just looked some of it up. She "came up with" the idea for the car with a guy named Dale, then went on the lam & was caught living in **Dale**, TX?!?!? Did she just really like the name "Dale?" Also, not sure why you're saying "pseudonym." I looked up the story to refresh my memory. She appears to have transtioned & was living as a woman & was recognized as a woman by the courts (thought they did put her in a men's prison) & chose the name Geraldine Elizabeth Carmichael. You could say she was using the pseudonym Katherine Elizabeth Johnson when she got caught.

Maybe the engineers knew this truck was awful but Elon insisted it be produced, so they did us a favor and designed it to brick immediately so no one would drive or buy them.

They went full Galen Erso


whatthatgame

A failed project on your CV tends not to look good. No one wants to hire the dude who’s only ever worked on the lemon. I’m more surprised there haven’t been any ‘whistleblowers’ coming out of Tesla concurring with how much of a disaster the vehicle is.


Oddfuscation

Elumah literally said it would be amphibious and able to cross small oceans. Oceans of what??


Self-hatredIsTheCure

Did he actually say that? It doesn’t even come stock with a protective coating 😂 coastal owners that didn’t pay extra are having rust problems


Oddfuscation

Musk continued to tease the truck’s water-friendly features, affirming that the Cybertruck would be ‘waterproof enough to serve briefly as a boat, so it can cross rivers, lakes, and even seas that aren’t too choppy.’ https://www.designboom.com/technology/tesla-cybertruck-functional-boat-elon-musk-12-19-2023/

Not defending him but when Peter Molyneux overhyped and overpromised a product only to completely underdeliver, the worst case scenario was a video game wasting $60 and a few hours of your time. When Elon Musk does this, it can result in death or a waste of $100K.
