yet another feature a regular Car can do better than this truck. its pretty damn sad when your truck fails at basic vehicle properties, before you even get to what its supposed to be, 'truck'. kinnnnda comical how bad this thing is.

such sweet nectar the schadenfreude, i could live off it for days.

Lol. Tesla stock down 30% since June.

Tesla, seriously, that roaring sound that’s rising in pitch is y’all about to slam into the ground. Eject the dead weight already.

I mean, to be fair no one will be able to beat geely over the next decade.

BYD has been flooding the market lately

zooms out 5 years

Up nearly 800%

Yup, keep riding that baby down. I bought in 2011, sold 2021. Thanks for buying me a house!

Now I get to watch that child Elon fuck up this golden goose, and I don't have to lose money while I laugh!

diffcalculus ,

Oh I don't own the stock. But you can't deny that it's been a great asset for anyone that got in early. Saying it's down 30% from 6 months ago without looking at the big picture is short sighted.

Also, fuck Elon

Buffalox ,

The stock is down 30% since June, if you want more context, it's lower now than it was January 2021. Meaning if you've been holding Tesla stock for 3 years, you are in the red. This In a period where inflation has also undermined the value.

Seems to me that a warning that Tesla might not be a good stock to hold anymore is in order.

The big picture is that Tesla is really only worth 5-10% of the current market cap, when you compare to for instance VW.

anivia ,

Ignoring that the market cap is higher than the combined market cap of all other car manufacturers, whilst producing not even half as many cars as VW alone, is also short sighted. The stock is vastly overrated and will correct itself one day. The question is just when that day is going to come

skyspydude1 ,

My dude, even legacy stocks that pay dividends like fucking Costco and Microsoft are up 250+% the past 5 years. The market has been absolutely bonkers the past 5 years, and acting like Tesla is some incredible investment and not just a meme gambling stock is pretty hilarious.

To anyone who is even slightly surprised by this, my cat has turds in his cat box with higher IQs than you.

This applies to anyone currently holding stock in any company associated with Elon Musk. You are all dumb fucks, and deserve whatever is coming to you. this goes doubly for anyone working for any of these companies still.

Really, what’s wrong with you people?

    I don’t think it’s that extreme, but I admit it’s not hopeful and people should be more realistic about their expectations.

    I . . . thought we were talking about the cybertruck?

    BumbleBeeButt ,

    They thought you meant "Cybercuck 3 America fucks itself"

    pivot_root ,

    Anyone holding stock in any Elon-directed company and expecting to make money at this point* is a dumb fuck. I don't think pre-emptively insulting people here is winning you any popularity, though.

    * except by short selling; I applaud any risk takers tanking the value of those shares.

    I’m not going to apologize for pointing out the very real fact that owning stock in a company owned by Hitler/Musk is not only financial suicide, but also tantamount to investing int he Nazi party.

    If you don’t like that being pointed out, go fuck yourself. I can survive the downvotes because internet wha-whas don’t hurt me

    The smarties sold a while back.

    If SpsceX was publicly traded, I would have certainly bought in.

    I deliver to a Tesla dealership/lemon farm everyday, and they had one on display. It had a smudge on the driver side rear quarter panel that they never got buffed out.

    ShepherdPie ,

    You don't buff these things. You have to regrain them by rubbing an abrasive material across the panels in one direction same as a DeLorean.

    shasta ,

    Yeah that certainly reinforces a sense of longevity. Just rub off part of the door every time you have to clean it.

    Plopp ,

    It's sad that there's nothing your can put on the metal, like something to paint on top of it or something. Like something clear, or in different colors even. Ah here I go again, being crazy with my imagination.

    Apparently clear coat would also corrode the steel. This car annoys every last one of my redneck sensibilities.

    Silentiea ,
    @Silentiea@lemm.ee avatar

    That's ... What is it made of? Raw sodium? How is there nothing they can put on it to seal it from corrosion?

    vaultdweller013 ,
    @vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works avatar

    They couldve probably galvanized it, but didnt because they are stupid. The type of stainless steel they used is finicky at best as I understand and isnt really designed to be in open outdoor environments, so they used it for a car. I dont fully understand the details of why its fucky just that it is, I aint a metallurgical expert im a redneck who just knows what is good steel from texture, taste, and smacking it into shit.

    ShepherdPie ,

    That's what buffing does to paint as well, but it's not something you do when you need to clean it (whether paint or stainless), it's something you do to repair cosmetic damage.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    CEO Elon Musk first unveiled the electric pickup model back in 2019, claiming that its "ultra-hard stainless steel" body and "transparent metal" glass were "literally bulletproof."

    Though beset with production issues and missing its speculative 2021-22 release, its unique polygonal design – as with anything Tesla and Musk-related – attracted legions of devotees eager to get their hands on the steering wheel.

    Members pondered whether orange stains could be caused by "rail dust" from certain vehicles being delivered via train, yet Raxar posted some images of his Cybertruck's body after driving it for "2 days in rain."

    In a separate thread, another user, vertigo3pc, reported that "corrosion was forming on the metal" of his brand-new Cybertruck after 11 days in the "LA rain," leading some to worry that the steel body was becoming contaminated during production.

    The documentation says: "To prevent damage to the exterior, immediately remove corrosive substances (such as grease, oil, bird droppings, tree resin, dead insects, tar spots, road salt, industrial fallout, etc.).

    The Register asked Tesla whether it agreed with the description of Cybertruck corrosion as the "norm," and if not, what the company expected to cause the spots documented.

    The original article contains 590 words, the summary contains 194 words. Saved 67%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
