    No wonder they’re begging police departments to buy them.

      A part of me wants the police to have them so they can be a cluster fuck for them to maintain.

      Unfortunately, they’ll maintain it with my tax dollars.

    Please, nobody insult the DeLorean this way.

    I’d pay five thousand dollars for one. Round off the sharp corners and put a Honda sign on it and BOOM I beat capitalism.

    All those preorders cancelled bc they lied about the price and the quality doesn’t match. Tesla was doing fine until the CEO got involved. Idk why those assholes wanted to give him billions of dollars as a bonus. Just absurd.

      they probably want his name to be still have some recognition, because Xitter is a very useful tool for the right to control the supporters, that is more valuable than tesla.

    Funny how “market rates” only mean “it will cost more for poor people” and never “our worthless product is worthless so we need to lower the price”

    They’re hideous, the places with a population that could afford them mostly view them as a social black mark, and in terms of utility - they’re worse than just about any truck out there. It’s not about max towing weight. It’s about not being able to stack and strap a shit ton of stuff in there

    Mobile dumpsters? Port o potties for the homeless? The possibilities are endless.

    There’s probably a tax write off in there somewhere for Elon. Nice silver lining.

      I wish the article would tell us how many units instead, for this very reason.

          No, we don’t want the article to make us read. We want the article to grab our heads, pull our ears out and talk the information directly into our faces. You know, “tell us.”

        Last I remember they sold for $80k, plus that makes the math trivial, so… 10000 vehicles?

          Wow that has so much more impact to me, I can really visualise the endless parking lots full of them.

      $0 worth

      I’d be willing to pay that for a cyberdump. Wouldn’t mind the pubic lovingly trashing it either. It even traps passengers while burning like a complimentary self-cleaning oven feature. The disposal fee might be a bitch.

      On further thought, it might not be worth it.

        I’d love to know how much it costs to build each cybertruck, and visualise the other revenue loss of storing these, designing the machinery to build this shit and anything other costs that were factored into sales.

    Tbh I’d take one for free. It might look kinda cool in my garden with plants growing out of it.
