To be fair, it lived up to ours.

The Tesla Cybertruck isn’t living up to expectations

Yep.

condor007.bsky.social•50 days ago

The Tesla has zero resemblance to a truck. Why buy that when the F150 Lightning is the real deal?\?

pedrosmoustache.bsky.social•50 days ago

🤣🤣🤣
Parody post, right?

laurenwesty.bsky.social•51 days ago

I expected it to be a hilarious shit-mobile and it’s lived up to that so far.

tinselfire.bsky.social•51 days ago

Exceeded them, even. Just not in the way intended.

charlierichmond.bsky.social•51 days ago

I'm waiting for the price to drop but looking forward to it

hapchem.bsky.social•50 days ago

Why did they have positive expectations of it? it doesn't work as a truck, is unsafe to everyone in its vicinity, sometimes doesn't work, and occasionally catches fire, sold by a company and owner that repeatedly misrepresents its capabilities. What would lead Verge to expect much of it?

pedrosmoustache.bsky.social•50 days ago

🤣🤣🤣
So much mis-information...it's hilarious!!
Thanks for making me laugh on a rainy day!!

Actually reminds me of the French phrase my son is fond of quoting - “I expected nothing, and still I was disappointed.” It’s more of a POS the more you look at it.

Tesla's sales are flat in the US (and falling in Europe) when other EV brands have risen. The reputational damage done by Musk's far right bullying is enormous. Wheeled door-wedges for the MAGA brained won't offset the losses.

Can Tesla remove him from the board?

mvsamuel.bsky.social•50 days ago

Elon musk owns 23% so you'd need 65% of the remaining shares to vote against.

Spineless yes-men are unlikely to do such a thing.

ianrobo.bsky.social•50 days ago

that was proven when they OK'ed that 50bn payoff. Does he even care about Tesla now ? A lot of the top people left over the past year and can bet not replaced by better. Yet the stans still believe a 25K model 3 is about to appear ...

anthonyburke.bsky.social•50 days ago

The company has lost all direction. The cybertruck is an embarrassment when Rivian showed us years ago how to make brilliant trucks that people want.

ianrobo.bsky.social•50 days ago

and they could sell their trucks in Europe and elsewhere

kedwards.bsky.social•51 days ago

Probably won’t until he falls out with Trump and gets their gov subsidies canceled.

sydmj.bsky.social•51 days ago

The ppl I personally know who were Tesla early adopters are affluent, liberal, and eco-conscious. They are embarrassed by Musk, would not be repeat customers

bravado1.bsky.social•51 days ago

Maybe even “lived down” to expectations 😕

johnedwinmason.bsky.social•50 days ago

😄

nickpiers.bsky.social•51 days ago

I expected it to be a glorious dumpster fire and a laughing stock on the roads.

So far, it's exceeded those expectations.

ocherie.bsky.social•51 days ago

Mine as well. First, it isn’t a ‘truck’.

Secondly, I recently saw one on the road and it is far uglier in person.

Lastly, it looks like a dumpster.

proudguy.bsky.social•50 days ago

Ugly???

globey.bsky.social•51 days ago

It's the most annoying, ridiculous piece of metal crap roaming around on the roads thinking it is somehow above the rest.

petethehawkeye.bsky.social•51 days ago

I still am expecting this dude to get out of one.

flyfishco.bsky.social•50 days ago

I commented on this elsewhere it was posted (with the same comment) that this is about the number of explosions and fatalities I anticipated.

Granted I did not have ‘became a bad diving bell’ or ‘tried to outdo a midsized city’s fireworks display’ on said bingo card, ah well, nonetheless!

atthefrontdoor.bsky.social•50 days ago

Well actually it lived down to my expectations.

sorathecyclist.bsky.social•50 days ago

There are two types of people in the world: those who immedietly wrote this off after the bulletproof-but-not-really-bulletproof window demonstration and, well, cultists.

mickeyhynes.bsky.social•51 days ago

sydmj.bsky.social•51 days ago

It has exceeded my expectations craptacularly, both for aesthetic and functional crappitude.

ellawbr.bsky.social•51 days ago

I have no idea why anyone interested in an Ev truck would want that over a Rivian.

proletariat.bsky.social•51 days ago

Like its champion, we never overestimated.
