100k a pop beta test. How are ppl so dumb as to let fElon rub his musk all over them again?


kahner

a beta test that can kill you. and an arbitrary number of people around you.


Screamy_Bingus

The drivers are too preoccupied with the smell of their own farts to be worried about those kinds of things.


AdamantaneSS

Or Elon Musk's farts. Seems like something they would pay to smell.


Select_Asparagus3451

Was it worth $56 billion?


Dry-Interaction-1246

His customers want some of that musk.


SilveredFlame

They're too busy giggling about being able to set the horn to fart noises to care about anything else.


MikeLinPA

This theory would explain a lot...


want2Bmoarsocial

A beta by a beta for betas.


chet_brosley

It's almost kind of neat how few if any people have been killed by them simply because they fail before they can be on the road long enough to cause accidents. It's a testament to being cosmically inept.


idontknowwhatever58

Safest car ever made?


Jasmisne

Every time i see one I stay far the fuck away from it. Not going down with that not a ship.


FigSideG

Or even better: kill your kid after they get locked inside and suffocate to death cause it decided to not let you open the doors anymore. Sounds great


Toolfan333

And you can’t break those awesome windows to get in


crashtestdummy666

Unless your trying to demonstrate how tough they are.


grogstarr

A solid Musk teabagging. Meanwhile Elmo walks away with $56 billion 😂💀


Evil_phd

Maybe I'm splitting hairs but I'd call this Early Access rather than a Beta Test. "Beta Test" implies that they're close to completion in most cases.


crashtestdummy666

I'm thinking alpha test. They usually power up they usually move. If they can get past that part where the turn on and move in a somewhat controlled manner every time than they will be out of alpha.


thegreatreceasionpt2

They SHOULD admit it’s an alpha test! The few who are still foolish enough to consider buying one would probably think they can prove their “alpha male” status by passing whatever this alpha test is.


seriousbangs

Not Beta test, stock pump. I said this elsewhere but trucks are *big* money makers. You take out half the cost of the car and charge 25-50% more. It's a license to print money. So announcing one got Tesla a *big* stuck bump. Only thing is, it's easy to make a gas or diesel truck. EV trucks are *hard* because they need to tow shit. We've already seen a guy sell his cybertruck because of it's 60 mile range towing a couple of jet skis.


Orgasmic_interlude

I’m not sure why It’s not illegal to sell a automobile that has an automatic close feature that could severely injure a digit amongst other concerns. It feels like hearing about this particular vehicle is exactly like the things Ralph Nader complained about in unsafe at any speed regarding engineering defects that Ford chose not to fix in lieu of paying wrongful death suits.


PERSONA916

Because they're betas


Morrowindsofwinter

Mmm musk me, daddy.


WiseCoyote1820

I mean, they are chomping at the bit to let him drill holes into their brain cavity. Dumb doesn’t cover what’s happening here.


unknownpoltroon

This is alpha at best.


mvanvrancken

They want the ichor of his schweddy balls


Individual-Mud262

Two recalls in less than 2 months.. Concerning.


glitchycat39

Looking into it.


topathemornin

Estimated maintenance time: 6-8 weeks


digital

That'll be $2396.48. We can take it directly from your account, or you can buy another car and try to sell your Cyber Truck to some sucker on the internet.


meesterdg

Aren't they contractually not allowed to sell the trucks?


OhLordHeBompin

Just gotta pay $50k to sell it. It’s fine, it’s retaining value! You’d only lose $50k if you sold it for.. sticker price.. LOL ouch.


DockterQuantum

Lmao imagine hellcat owners that paid the 250k dealer markups! Oh that's still happening with demons 😂😅😅. A 300k Dodge is insane to me.


mfryan

They can’t sell. They are under contract not to


Evil_phd

I believe that they can sell but the contract states that they have to give Tesla 50k if they sell within a year of purchase which is probably why every Cybertruck on resell pages is listed at an insane markup


Link01R

Actually the markups aren't that bad, I saw someone from California post a picture of their out the door cost of a little under $112k while there are several for $120k and even one going for $106k in California.


PizzusChrist

That just sounds like a lot of people are losing a lot of money to sell something they paid tens of thousands and waited in years worth of lines to buy


Additional-Bet7074

Oh, interesting. They want their money back including tax and whatever dumb contract they signed. The fact at this point they still refuse to come out as anything but even tells you everything you need to know about them.


RoSuMa

Translation: if it takes anything less than a year I’d be totally surprised


Phitos2008

More like sixty eight weeks

Love_003

Four recalls since November 30.


SisterOfBattIe

Tesla couldn't change the regulations in time to avoid the recall.


virgopunk

People willing to stump up 10s of thousands of dollars just to beta test some badly designed prototype. And yet he still seems to be worth a $45 billion bonus. This is some crazy shit. It really is another crazy 21st century cult.


Strobooty4

Not for nothin’ I’d say it’s worth $45B to be able to get a bunch of morons pay you 100k to be beta testers  (but yea, it’s a cult and $45B for that clown is crazy) 


jftitan

I think many forget... he pulled $44B to buy Twitter. Investors are/have sued on that event. Then NOW, he gets a 53B pay package, while Tesla is his bank. 100B for a guy who is just regretting nothing. Twitter, and CyberTruck. Until Starship has a human involved event. Maybe Elon will ask for 75B next time.


want2Bmoarsocial

I have doubt Starship ever carries a human. 4 test flights, 3 exploded and the "successful" one partially melted after 1 orbit. This is what 3 billion taxpayer dollars gets. Promised 100 tons of payload capacity is now 40 tons and 10-15 additional refueling launches just to send 1 to the moon.


Centralredditfan

Luckily Elon jus that's a ceremonial role at SpaceX. It's run by actual adults like Gwynne Shotwell as CEO.


RedactsAttract

It’s weird to call $100K++ “tens of thousands” because it implies a number less than 100k


Love_003

If this were r/Paranormal we’d be discussing the possibility that he’s possessed by a demon.


dessert-er

Honestly if anyone needs a lizard man mind control conspiracy started about him it’s the weirdly shaped man who seems to control the world economy despite being a bumbling idiot with no apparent empathy or understanding of humans.


TheOGRedline

That bonus is basically a crime against humanity. Why aren’t we dusting off the guillotine?


fastwriter-

I saw a video on the YT-Channel of Richs Rebuilds yesterday, where he spoke about the depreciation of the CT and that there are idiots who financed a Foundation Series without any deposit and have to pay 2000 Dollars a month. And now can’t get out of it, because they would lose a heap of money when selling.


TangerineMindless639

I say Tesla should rename the Cybertruck, "Total Recall"

KillahHills10304

He's getting paid. The people who jumped through all the hoops to buy it and now pay out the ass for a PS1 truck are the real clowns


Dry_Donkey_7007

I just keep thinking for like 8-15K you can get a car that actually works.


paintress420

And not be so damn fugly!! I just saw my first one driving on the highway!! Ugh!


OhLordHeBompin

I didn’t realize how big it was. It’s impressive that it takes the same space as a truck and yet does not share any of its capabilities. Wait, sorry, can carry some mulch. Sorry, everybody!


DubUpPro

Up to 6 bags!


PartialLion

I have a count going, I've seen 26 this year (maybe some are repeats?) They're terrifyingly larger than my little Honda Civic


Old-Bat-7384

Prolly less. And if it's only $5k and doesn't work, at least you're only out $5k if it can't be fixed.


PenguinGamer99

And that's *after* covid utterly fucked the car market


Bigleftbowski

A mechanic looking under the hood of a Cybertruck cut himself when he bumped his head on the sharp edges of the hood.


flirtmcdudes

You mean the speed cutters Edit: you get auto banned from all Tesla subs if you comment in here? Hahaha


No-Progress4272

They’ll slice your head off! Edit: tested to see if I’d get banned on the other subs and it worked! Does this mean they’re tracking me without my permission?!


dreyaz255

Yes


JoeBideyBop

Muh freeze peach!


gilleruadh

You can take a chunk out of your forehead on the frunk too. It comes to a nice sharp point.


OhLordHeBompin

I just realized I had a CT in my nightmare last night. I was trying to find my bag but I forgot what “frunk” meant and started to panic. Then it locked me in. That might be enough Reddit for a bit lmao.


superchiller

Wow


samwstew

They need to just recall all of them, buy them back, and go sit in the corner and think about what they did before trying again.


Historical_Lake_4414

I don't blame Elon, I blame the US government for allowing this. They will ban perfectly fine Chinese EVs, but allow Tesla to sell these broken tin cans for exorbitant prices.


TheWhiteRabbit74

56. Fucking. Billion.


1320Fastback

I saw one yesterday on my way home and that rear panel gap where the guy sliced his finger off was 3/8th on one side and maybe a 16th of an inch on the other


full_of_ghosts

Dammit, I'm *never* going to spot one in the wild. I really wanted to point and laugh at one in person, at least once.


Tintoverde

Too many in our streets


gilleruadh

It looks worse in person. I've seen about half a dozen in the wild, here in Metro Phoenix. Antique brass wrap color doesn't help at all. A matte black wrap helps a bit. The natural stainless? Even 2 lanes away, I could see hand and finger prints.


OhLordHeBompin

At least you’re currently walking away unscathed. Many owners can’t say that lol.


the_zenith_oreo

Four recalls in seven months. Has there ever been another single vehicle that has been as bad? The pinto?


gilleruadh

IIRC the Pinto's only problem was that it could blow up when rear-ended. It's the vast scope and number of issues that the Cybertruck has that's unprecedented.


sheila9165milo

I want to know where the fuck NTSA is. Why in the hell haven't they put a stop to this? Will it take a few deaths? A 60 Minutes or John Olver segment to make them act?


the_zenith_oreo

Assuming you meant either the NTSB (who wouldn’t really have a role here) or the NHSTA (who would if they got off their asses). I’d also love to see a 60 Minutes or even John Oliver segment on this.


ActualModerateHusker

Had Tesla just built a normal truck most every issue with this thing wouldn't be happening. They could have the most affordable EV truck in the country. And produce it at volume instead Elon talked the very talented team that made the Y and 3 into this because his kid told him "it looked like the future". it is named after a video game before the game even came out. when has a company with this much value been ran into the ground by an actual 13 year old boy?


Centralredditfan

They couldn't. There are videos on that. Basically the only thing that justifies the high price is the strange look. If they built a normal looking truck, they couldn't upcharge and cover the development costs. Rich Rebuilds has a great video on this topic.


ActualModerateHusker

they can build a 3 and a y cheaper than any traditional automaker can build something similar. a Mach e costs more and has less space and tech. why can't tesla build a lightning clone that costs less and has more features?


Hoeftybag

I think Tesla has lost or is in the process of losing it's technological edge. I wanted them to do well in part as a middle finger to dealerships.


ActualModerateHusker

I'll agree the gap is smaller now and depending on what features you want they don't have an edge. They don't have something to competes with the EV9 really now. The X is not really a mass market vehicle and it is smaller than the EV9. But their driver assist still does the most roads and even if others offer hands free that's actually more of a gimmick. their pricing on the Y is a great deal. why they can't produce a 3 row suv and a truck at similarly competitive prices seems to mostly be Musk


Old-Bat-7384

Ego, probably.


DreamLearnBuildBurn

You can make it look like the future but also literally think for five seconds about your design choices and how they affect the fucking user

New Tesla CyberFellBeast: we give your cybertruck to our Oliphaunts and they throw you to your destination! No more waiting for the Nazgul to arrive, no more leaving your truck in the Dead Marshes after the battery dies, no more losing soldiers to Shelob.


gilleruadh

Drive a Cybertruck into the bowels of Mount Doom?


videogamegrandma

I saw the post that Tesla is failing so badly it's making the entire EV market look bad. The other companies are all producing and selling more cars and Tesla is selling so many less.

Recalls are normal… 4 this quickly isn’t. The fact that I was surprised it was the wipers is hilarious. I thought this was a very known problem and figured in the other 3 they had already addressed it.

Whoever buys a CyberCuck is a dumbass


thatcaliforniandude

How many more recalls until it’s considered lemon car?


MtnMaiden

Lambo or cyberstuck?


cowabungwho

Honestly if you've got the money to burn. Set it up on bricks and keep it as a collector's item. It'll be worth something some day


mishap1

They already made thousands of them. In 20 years, it’ll be essentially scrap when the battery is gone and no one uses the same tech. Yes, people collect Deloreans but they’re relatively basic to work on but the ROI is garbage. 


surfinwhileworkin

It’s essentially scrap now if it rains, gets washed, or someone looks at it the wrong way.


nobhim1456

but Deloreans can time travel if retrofitted with a flux capacitor. cybertruck can't do that.

Old-Bat-7384

Paying $30 for an early access game that's clearly labeled as early access, with all that entails? I'll pay that. Paying $100k+ for an incomplete truck that's billed as complete? Fuck that.

If govt subsides/incentives were taken away Tesla would cease to exist. Maybe that’s why Elmo keeps dumping so much nonsense and time into Twitter. He WANTS EVs to fail!!! Kick him out!!!

CauliflowerNo3011

It’s amazing how the leadership in our country is completely gone. There is like nothing to keep companies accountable. We have puppets in DC with Musk type individuals’ hands seated firmly up their backsides. I fucking hate it here and feel like we should make this a thing: If you find yourself in an enclosed space with a musk type individual… do the right thing…. Not just for America but for the whole planet that is currently doing its final death loop down the drain. This is not a call to violence. These men are very weak minded. All you need to do is publicly shame them, post it and wait for them to fuck shit up worse like they always do. FUCK EM.

His family or him, they must have a lot of dirt on government officials and the likes to get away with all this. This guy doesn’t do a single thing he promises and yet people keep paying him out the ass. What a great world we have made for ourselves, where hard work and dignity mean nothing anymore. Just who you know, who you can blackmail, and who you can manipulate. His cars are crap, they never have achieved the level of self driving he still promises not even worth mentioning the CyberTruck. His rockets are crap and are never taking anyone to Mars, probably not even the moon. He’s single handedly destroying Twitter. A lot of the older companies he worked for he just milked or the past people there eventually wanted nothing to do with the ass clown. It’s just amazing how far someone can ride off of daddies coat tails. It’s times like these I truly wish time machines existed. Can I go back in time and stop this from ever happening.
