A Facebook group for Cybertruck owners is full of videos and photos of passersby and other drivers flicking them off, leaving notes that say “WHAT’S ELON’S CUM TASTE LIKE?,” and “NAZI CAR,” and people kicking their cars, throwing slices of cheese at it, etc.

These protestors in front of Tesla Service Centers need to see what a majority looks like...A couple hundred CTs surrounding them might do it.”

This guy thinks the majority means "whoever shows up with weapons"

...A couple hundred CTs...

Gonna be hard to get the majority of them that have been sold to show up in one place at one time.

I was gonna make a joke about that in my original comment but I checked and was surprised to find that like 30k have been sold in the US

[–] [email protected] 4 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

30k is abysmal for a car that had almost 2 million pre-orders. Clearly, there is huge demand for a vehicle like the Cybertruck, but not specifically the Cybertruck. A little hyperbole can be fun sometimes.

There was huge demand - if they had released what was promised for the promised price in the promised year it would have been the only EV truck, have capabilities beyond any EV car, while also being among the lowest price EVs.

I’m generally not interested in a truck but was tempted by the original announcement. However what we finally got was an easy “no”

He also thinks there are a couple hundred cybertrucks nearby. Thinking may not be his strong suit.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Hey if you're near a Tesla storage lot, there probably IS a couple hundred cybertrucks nearby.

Sitting there, having their wheels stolen and rotting since nobody is buying them, but that's still technically nearby.

Or just unsold sitting in an abandoned mall parking lot
