Tesla cars suck and the Cybertruck blows

Most people from what I understand can’t get Cybertrucks insured unless they go through Tesla directly.

And don’t even bother trying to put out a fire on a Cybertruck… because you can’t.

At one stage, I wondered if Musk was showing to the right to try and get anti-environmental, anti-EV people to buy Teslas. Those who leaned left were convinced of the benefits, and were already buying or looking to buy Teslas, so he already had that part of the market covered.

But that was a long time ago, and let's just say that it's one of my takes that has not aged well.

And he keeps cybertrucking himself.

Yeah as the EV target audience I'll never buy a Tesla ever. Probably most people in CA feel similar. RIP market share.

Mr. Bazinga's hubris isn't doing him any favors in 2025. billionaire-tears I look forward to many more self-inflicted wounds this year.
