For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.
No flaming, baiting, etc. This community is intended for those opposed to the influx of Elon Musk-related advertising online. Coming here to defend Musk or his companies will not get you banned, but it likely will result in downvotes. Please use the reporting feature if you see a rule violation.
Opinions from all sides of the political spectrum are welcome here. However, we kindly ask that off-topic political discussion be kept to a minimum, so as to focus on the goal of this sub. This community is minimally moderated, so discussion and the power of upvotes/downvotes are allowed, provided lemmy.world rules are not broken.
Post links to instances of obvious Elon Musk fanboy brigading in default subreddits, lemmy/kbin communities/instances, astroturfing from Tesla/SpaceX/etc., or any articles critical of Musk, his ideas, unrealistic promises and timelines, or the working conditions at his companies.
Tesla-specific discussion can be posted here as well as our sister community /c/RealTesla.
I still find it hard to believe people paid money for this trash. Have seen a few on the road and it looks even worse in person. Almost convinced the few people I see are paid by Tesla to “show them off”
I don’t even know what the marketing pitch is for this thing. Middle aged Tesla fanatics with too much money than brains?
I watched DeMuro's video on it, because it's the first close look I've been able to get without it being marketing nonsense.
The tonneau cover is neat. It's like a rolltop desk cover, motorized.
Literally every other design choice is either stupid or dangerous.
The hard tonneau cover is often an option on most trucks.
Motorized tonneau covers are aftermarket addons that add around 2k to the price of the vehicle, plus installation.
They also take up a not insignificant amount of space near the front of the bed with the canister.
Teslas solution genuinely looks pretty good all things considered. Time will tell how they hold up. People are usually 50/50 on if they like their tonneau covers or think that they’re leaky garbage.
My Internet education has learned (sic) me forums are a place to complain no matter how good the product is. Also ice publications love shitting on ev's any way they can. This however I'm absolutely believing.
Yeah the cybertruck is garbage, but forum complaints existing is a meaningless measure. Every product in existence has forums where you can find people complaining about the product.
How much longer until Tesla cancels this project and proclaims this model is a “limited edition”?
