    I feel really bad for that one guy who thought it was cool as a concept, put in a downpayment, waited for years, got the financing together while watching Elmo’s mask melting off the whole time and just thinking “I just want the truck, and then I’ll never buy another tesla again”. They get constant price increases and make them all just to see it through, and then . . . They get it. And it’s - well, what it is. And they’re totally screwed and besmirched. That one hypothetical guy I feel bad for.

    The rest of them, /Nelson

    This reminds me of the early days of the Model S; a friend of mine was an early adopter and he himself was surprised if it went two weeks without having to bring it in for something or the other.

    Oh, and the dashboards that would occasionally freeze while driving. Luckily, Tesla knew it was a piece of shit, so you could just press and hold two buttons to reboot it.

      The button press is actually fairly common in most cars. In most German cars (Audi, BMW, Mercedes) it used to be Back+Volume Power… but in all those cases it’d only reboot the infotainment system. Things like the speedometer were a completely seperate, more stable system.

        In the EU they’re required by law to be closed off from any user manipulation, ie not on the same network as the entertainment stuff.

    I saw a dude with a Cyuck (shorthand for cyber truck) at Costco the other day trying and failing to fit his new TV into the bed lol

    At one point he gave up and tried fitting it into the back seat which didn’t fare much better
