âCongratulations. Your cybertruck has a butthole now. For the low price of $3000 dollars.â
Understatement of the year:
With these results, Iâm starting to think that Tesla is going to have to scale back in Germany.
What a polite way of saying: will have to decide whether to ship all existing cars back to the US, or just push them into a ditch and set them on fire.
Full headline:
Elon Muskâs Tesla reportedly halts Cybertruck deliveries as owners complain of metal sides falling off
Yeah, Iâve seen a lot of videos by now of people basically peeling off strips from them, like slabs of linoleum. Theyâre clearly built like shit, and not to last more than a coyple of years with any kind of serious driving. What a crappy boondoggle.
At least the front didnt fall off.
This would contravene all sorts of laws and regulations on the EU, federal, state, district and local level, starting with the Kreislaufwirtschaftsgesetz1) (KrWG).
1) Gesetz zur Förderung der Kreislaufwirtschaft und Sicherung der umweltvertrÀglichen Bewirtschaftung von AbfÀllen; formerly known as Gesetz zur Förderung der Kreislaufwirtschaft und Sicherung der umweltvertrÀglichen Beseitigung von AbfÀllen (Kreislaufwirtschafts- und Abfallgesetz - KrW-/AbfG)
Tesla Cybertruck Deliveries Paused Because Losing Sharp Metal Body Panels On The Road Is Bad Or Something
[âŠ]
Itâs also not clear how long the new incEl Camino deliveries have been delayed. Thatâs fine. The longer their deliveries are held up, the longer the rest of the public gets to go without seeing these oligarch-enabling monstrosities on the road.

Tesla Sends Unsigned Letter Warning Of Potential Tariff Harm Because Musk Can Fire Them Too
[âŠ]
While not directly mentioning tariffs, the letter clearly references the impending trade taxes expected to wreak havoc on the automotive industry.
Teslaâs letter was left unsigned by the automakerâs CFO Vaibhav Taneja, or any other employee.
[âŠ]
Yes and.

Muskâs daughter Vivian confirmed what many have suspected - that she (as several of his children that were conceived via IVF) was assigned male at birth due to Muskâs use of sex-selective IVF - Vivian writes: âMy assigned sex at birth was a commodity that was bought and paid forâ
âŠVivian: âSo when I was feminine as a child and then turned out to be transgender, I was going against the product that was sold.â Musk is a eugenicist and a misogynist. This confirms that his hatred for his daughter, a trans woman, is rooted in his misogyny, control and eugenicist beliefs.
âŠ
When she came out as a transgender woman, she defied the ultimate control heâd try to exert over her existence: assigning her male at birth. âThat expectation of masculinity that I had to rebel against all my life was a monetary transaction. A monetary transactionâ, Vivian writes.âŠ
I find it baffling that Muskâs eugenicist world view is almost completely missing from the coverage of his political actions. Why does he hate USAID & is willing to cause deaths? Because he only views certain people worthy of life and dignity. Itâs not a mystery. Itâs out there for all of us to see.
Oh but you canât call him a eugenicist then when he salutes from the heart people might mistake him for a NAZI!!!
The future? Low poly graphics are the⊠future?
Ironically the graphics cards that made games not look like cybertrucks were the most revolutionary technology invented in my lifetime and I think it is no accident that Musk wasnât involved in that at all.
AlsoâŠ
To be clear, the Cybertruck is not designed for actual combat, but it allows consumers to play make-believe.
When I was young in the aughts I never imagined someday Iâd feel comforted that GMC and LandRover meet this market so much better.
If a company were serious about building a safe robotaxi business, the robotaxi wouldnât look anything like this prototype. A serious robotaxi would demonstrate the primacy of safety; the manufacturer would place sensors in optimal positionsâon the roof, as well as on the sides and corners of the vehicle. These sensors would also have cleaning and drying functionsâwindshield wipers, compressed air nozzles, and so on. A serious robotaxi also wouldnât have a low-slung coupe body design. This design makes it difficult for people to easily get in and out; not everyone will be able to use these robotaxi vehicles comfortably
Aside: What a daring athlete that dude was!
