Sure am glad I couldn’t afford one of those things back when I wanted one.
At this point I expect to see them abandoned on the side of the road with a "Just take it" sign over the engine
For its part, Tesla has been trying to boost its image with the help of President Trump. On Monday, the president took to the South Lawn of the White House to promote Tesla's cars, apparently buying one despite having campaigned on an explicitly anti-electric vehicle platform.
Somehow, I don't think MAGA cult will buy electric vehicles in quantities needed to offset even a fraction of people who used to buy Tesla.
Half of them are broke as fuck and the other half are heavily invested in oil company stocks. Elon made a poor choice of allegiance.
Well if they make a Cybertruck 2 that's lifted and looks like the Dildozer, they might have a new market. It'll get 50 miles per-charge, but it'll intimidate their neighbor's kid, so it's worth the $380,000 price tag (financed, of course).
I don't think the MAGA Cult can even AFFORD electric vehicles, I mean, shit I know I can't.
Imagine the CEO of Browning or American Rifles helping Joe Biden pick out a new gun from a display in the state dining room.
The difference is Biden is a gun owner. So at least it would be buying a product he actually has. There has been incidents referencing him and his wife having at least a shotgun (so 2+ guns)
With Trump hating on electric cars like he had for so long, and not knowing how to drive, it's a bit different.
Old rich guy like Biden probably has loads of nice, quality, antique guns.
They’re trying the “buy EVs to own the libs” angle. It’s a bold strategy, Cotton….
which is great, because it will increase the chance that tesla will go down and with that elon musk.
Eh...put a lift kit, USA flag wrap, and a smoke machine on the cyber truck and they'd double sales.

Yeah, that's part of the problem, Elon.
Best i can do is $3.50.
Same people proudly claiming the market is self regulating shocked when the market responds to them being openly fascist cunts.
Who knew that being a publicly facing cunt makes people not want to buy your product. Shocking discovery.
These people literally live in reaffirming social bubbles they have created. On and offline both. They don't see that they are overplaying their hand.
This article should bring you joy.

a cultivated image of Musk as a Thomas Edison or Tony Stark type
LMAO! See Tony Stark blow Musk off like a loser in Iron Man II:

I'd be humiliated were I him. His head's so far up his ass he likely sees that cameo as a plus.
Ublock works just fine on the Atlantic.
Not me me on Firefox (Windows). Something I'm missing?
