Maybe they should include free Nazi salute lessons with each purchase and a bottle of Kentucky bourbon to get all the backwater inbred hicks on board to help spur sales of the swastitruck?

Probably would have helped if it didn't look cobbled together out of sheet metal for a low-budget post-apocalypse movie. I picture Humungus standing up in it chasing Mel Gibson.
Is that "all stops", as in they will get rid of that guy who very definitely did a Nazi salute?
Who would've thought that a very expensive truck in an ev market that is lukewarm at best, add in a good amount of weird looks and unreliability, wouldn't be a big seller? I could pick a conventional truck for a fraction of the price or this. People who bought it were doing it for show and now that market is tapped out.
I'm still waiting for them to finish loading in.
Tesla made 2.8 billion last year from selling regulatory credits. So they really didn't have to care how many cars they sold. But those surely are going away, so they are going to have to do some other government handout, which Elon is probably hand picking right now.
I saw my first cybertruck in traffic yesterday, I initially thought that some redneck had every part you need to make a car except for the frame and body, and was like "I don't need none of that fancy shit, I got square tube and steel plate!" and welded together the laziest design they could think of. Then I realized it was just a cybertruck, and promptly laughed at it.
Well if they'd stop putting signage with "Arbeit Macht Frei" over the entrance to their factories maybe they'd do better.
Bit like Elon, Never lived up to the hype
No thank you. I don't want a swasticar.
I'd love to have one of those new production old style beetles. But we can't buy them here because our govt sucks donkey dick.
Good.
Who would have thought the preorders all dried up when they advertised it at $39,900 but launched it at $60,990.
It just needs a good putsch.
Tesla just needs a new slogan or a good marketing campaign.
Something like:
Tesla - power by joy
Or "Kraft durch Freude" in German.
All that would perfectly fit the brand image.
i wonder when ol stinky starts pushing somekind of law that makes it mandatory to buy one
