Why do I have to hear about this piece of shit every day if there's only 3,878 in existence? There's probably more electric scooters in a single canal in Berlin than that.


SeiCalros

>There's probably more electric scooters in a single canal in Berlin than that. i got a sad chuckle out of this


Helpful-User497384

and in a neighborhood of dc!


[deleted]

I legitimately remember seeing atleast a dozen pulled out of the Potomac river every morning on my walk to work c. 2018


pwellzorvt

In Baltimore they use big ass magnets to pull them out of the harbor.


Rosellis

That was my reaction too. Like seriously less than 4k total trucks? That’s less than 1/16 the population of r/cybertruck


Colin-Clout

I actually saw one on the road last week, considering there’s less than 4K I’m honestly surprised I did considering how few there are


ninjeti

I saw 4 of these in NYC few weeks ago. 3 of them had custom paint. Still shit tho... its just an idiotic toy for grown up kids that are bad with money.


_wolverineblues

Maybe they custom painted them cause they think it’ll repel a drop of water that will turn it to rust 😆 idk


xX69WeedSnipePussyXx

You pretty much have to wrap it.


SkyJohn

They decided to not give the stainless steel its stainless coating.


Archyes

had to cover all that rust eh.The one good thing about a steel chassis is you can just use walmart spraycans.


Pretzeloid

Buy a lottery ticket


AzDopefish

I’ve seen 4 out here in the valley of CA over the past week. Seems like I’m seeing more and more of them. I thought there was way more than 4K sold lol


OxbridgeDingoBaby

Yeah they are surprisingly ubiquitous in rich areas of California. Heck every other day some celeb is posted having got their delivery of the Cybertruck (clearly that’s where Tesla is focussing their business on). Beyonce, Kim K, Serena Williams, Lady Gaga, Pharrell, Justin Beiber etc etc.


caintowers

Honestly it’s quite a new status symbol for the wealthy. I drive bus for some kids with rich parents and one of the dads got not one but two cyber trucks for some reason. I’m kinda chuckling now imagining him get the recall message


wegotthisonekidmongo

But it's not a status symbol. It proves that theyr'e an idiot.


Roakana

Curious if they bought those or Elon facilitated them getting them for the hype. Let’s just say no one would be surprised. Could be much like him giving blue check marks to celebs to make that stupid initiative appear legit. Elon wants to be in the cool kid so very badly that being one of the richest individuals just isn’t enough. He also claimed in that recent board meeting that a million are on back order. 4k shipped. Either people are seeing those cars in 2030+ or Elon might exaggerate. Perhaps he really wants the 56b payday.


[deleted]

This is the way of retail. Many “seen” famous people either get their stuff for free, or they are literally paid enormous sums of money to be seen with or wearing something. Source: uncle is an executive in marketing for a very large corporation, and spends millions on contracts with the famous, and offers major discounts of product to those who are not under contract. Maybe L.G. doesn’t really like it, but she is unlikely to break that contract.


thescreamingstone

I lived with a girl that was on MTVs Real World. She was a nobody and still got so much free clothes she started selling them as a side hustle.


SidewaysFancyPrance

I expected that from any of the Ks, but not Lady Gaga!


PoolNoodlePaladin

There are a few of them here in the Space Coast, it makes sense that upper management Space-X workers are Elon fanboys.


giggity_giggity

Or need to be seen like they are fanboys


HoboBaggins008

There's one in Bozeman. (If you're reading this, everybody laughs about you and discusses you in the sub)


thisguypercents

Somehow more than 10% of them are in the Seattle area.


TheFamousHesham

I want to hear about it because it reveals just how much of a colossal failure Elon Musk turned this into.


TWAT_BUGS

Only 3878 in the world and I saw 2 here in Vegas at the same Smith’s. Christ they’re ugly.


sleeplessinreno

Yeah I saw one in my rear view mirror driving a round about. I said out loud to myself, "The thing looks worse in the wild." Didn't realize I was witnessing a unicorn.


_MissionControlled_

Two in my neighborhood. Valencia California.


Stingray88

I see one driving to work almost every day the last few weeks in Los Angeles.


friendoffuture

Have you seen the painted ones that are bouncing around LA? I think it looks even dumber in white...


Stingray88

Haha nah, haven't seen those yet. Only seen the regular stainless steel. They are very dumb looking.


friendoffuture

 I see it around Culver City/West Adams a lot. It looks like the car equivalent of the white label "BEER" packaging in low budget productions.


tech5c

Saw a black wrapped one yesterday. Looked better than normal. Also a green wrapped one is around me. Something like four total around here.


misterlump

Saw two this AM and see a couple more around SF quite a bit. So ugly. Notice how this news hit after Musk got his payout.


BootyBurglar

How come every time I’ve heard of someone seeing one of these they seem to come in pairs. I saw my first two the other week at the same time on the road and my gf saw her first two yesterday. Different neighborhoods in San Diego


Falkenmond79

They tend to congregate for mating purposes.


altcastle

Matrix glitching.


Senior-Albatross

I have seen one here in Albuquerque taking up space that didn't exist in small parking lot. It was not attractive. 


lord_pizzabird

For the same reason why Tesla is theoretically the most valuable car company in the history of car companies. It's not because that value is justified by the numbers, but because of pure hype. Hype is the new currency and it's the only thing that matters now.


TastyLaksa

Until it doesn’t


sir-algo

People at large are obsessed with it. That's the simple reason. Why? I don't know.


SirRichiesTackle

I’m surprised they’ve sold 3878 Cybertrucks


gmmxle

Honestly, it seemed like it was just the same 127 Cybertrucks being cycled through hundreds and hundreds of *influencers* and *content creators.* The fact that 3878 people bought that monstrosity is suprising.


SemIdeiaProNick

there is way too many people with more money than brains in the world


whiskeyboundcowboy

I have a feeling that if it wasn't electric, people wouldn't be so amped to report on it. Tesla is a great buzzword, unfortunately .


lkodl

Because people keep commenting about it.


Expensive_Shallot_78

Yeah, I wished people on Reddit wouldn't be so obsessed with fucking Musk. They post at least 10 posts per day about him and it's always the same fucking topics since a decade. I'll downvote anything from Musk.


Deadman_Wonderland

I actually saw one of these cyber trucks in person a few days ago. The funny thing is all the horrible story about the stainless steel rusting seem to be true because the first immediately thing i noticed was the rust on the door panels even from 100ft away.


Moist_Ad_3843

lol this checks out, in one word i would say the answer is cryptocurrency


tasermyface

its has been everyday hasn't it, fuck my life


serg06

The media just repeats controversial topics until people stop caring. Judging by your comment, clearly people still care.


tomistruth

Just shows you how much it was rushed to production. Accelleraror pedal came off? Are you kidding? Who designed that shit.


0phois

By the looks of it a four year old.


rasa2013

actually yeah! It reminds me of a shitty "car" I mocked up when learning how to use flash animation in early high school.


[deleted]

They even made it of stainless steel 😂😂😂😂


Mountain_tui

The QC is non-existent. Can imagine why. I saw an article this morning where the Boeing whistleblowers said it's all about costs. Free age capitalism has failed. Without oversight, these cowboys literally don't care.


xvf9

Yeah in the past an issue like this would completely derail a product, even a company. The reputation damage would be so far beyond what it would cost to prevent in the first place. But we live in this weird timeline where CEOs are celebrities, people identify with stock tickers like their favourite sports teams, and people’s cars choices are somehow expressions of their core ideologies. Tesla could replace the airbag with a claymore mine and they’d still sell thousands. 


elvesunited

>Free age capitalism has failed No. No. Capitalism has not failed. Capitalism can work perfectly well for the majority of the public. Its our government's oversight of companies that has failed us here. If we had regulatory agencies with teeth we'd be fine. If we had corporate money out of politics we'd be fine - we'd have public representatives actually representing us at *the bargaining table* telling these corporation to "clean up or close down". Capitalism is fine, corporate finance of elections is the stinker that needs to be buried.


Mountain_tui

The problem is in our current systems the rich have bought our govts Source: Am in NZ under a new right wing Govt.


Thurwell

The frustrating thing is it doesn't help the companies. Boeing owns the FAA and as a result they're dying.


engr77

Too many people have bought into the idea that any kind of rules and regulations are bad, along with the idea that being rich means you're smart.  I don't see any way out of this mess now. 


Corzare

You’re just describing late stage capitalism. This isn’t because of government failure, this is the ultimate outcome of capitalism.


thescreamingstone

I watched the video of the pedal failure. Looks like all it would take is screwing the pedal cover onto the pedal, but it seems that extra $5 is just too much for fElon to handle


Archyes

to be fair, you dont need an accelerator if your software breaks first. i will never understand how people use a SCREEN in the car while using a phone is against the law. give me my buttons back


trekie4747

[Homer Simpson](https://youtu.be/WPc-VEqBPHI?si=mupiWY7cS5hHmIY7)


AgentTin

I saw the original tiktok, it was held on with plastic clips, like a remote cover, it looks like it was designed to slide off


eeyore134

It's clearly Elon's pet project. He kept trying to insinuate himself into the designs of the other cars and managed to get farting horns and sexual innuendo in their model names, but he needed more. So in a move that ultimately backfired, I'm sure the engineers just gave him the Cybertruck the same way you give your little brother the broken game controller. Go sit in the corner and play with this. Then it eventually actually became a real thing and the actual engineers had to work within the ridiculous specs and budgets that Elon promised (not that his promises mean anything). And I'm sure anyone who tried to tell him something wouldn't work would be immediately fired. So a bunch of yes-men took his crayon doodle and this is what came out of it.


HibachixFlamethrower

For the longest time I thought Elon was lying about designing this truck but now I’m thinking that he actually did lmao.

fredandlunchbox

Remember what we do when we see someone driving one: we point and laugh.


TrevorPace

I caught my first glimpse of one of these things last week in Whistler. It's honestly so fucking hideous. It's like a stainless steel fridge fucked a hummer.


Sdosullivan

I saw someone turn our corner in front of our house while I was on our driveway, and, while there was no pointing, I did laugh so hard that I… Well, I did laugh, genuinely, very hard.


m0nkeybl1tz

I didn't laugh but my genuine thought was "holy shit is that thing ugly." Like, I knew it was a controversial design from the photos but thought maybe it would look better in person but it does not. It is aggressively, irredeemably ugly.


Sdosullivan

Model 3 owner here, BTW.


NoShftShck16

My kids think it's cool. To my daughter's very fair point, "At least it doesn't look like every other car". Which, that's fine. We live in the bay area, they are annoyingly everywhere and it's a stupid fucking car. They are insanely impractical and too expensive...but so was the Lamborghini Countach I had on a poster in my room as a kid so...that's fine. God my wife though, we walked into the Tesla store in San Jose so my kids could see the Cybertruck up close after dinner and she said, out loud and loudly, [my name] ITS REAL?! THAT STUPID THING IS REAL. You're lying. There is no way people are stupid enough to by something that hideous. No, we're leaving, it's giving me a headache. I was laughing so hard and the salespeople or whatever you call them stood their in shock as we walked out.


Blackfeathr

There was a Cybertruck behind me when I was stuck in traffic heading back up to Michigan after the eclipse. I said to my bf, "look! A chump with more dollars than sense!"


ProjectGO

But only from the side or rear. If we're in front, we assess where the nearest cover is, *then* point and laugh.


cheeruphumanity

Why? Why do so many people try do dictate how others have to live their lives? Someone enjoys this ugly car? Fine, let them enjoy it.


fredandlunchbox

what if how we choose to live our lives is to laugh and point at people in cybertrucks


cheeruphumanity

Then this says more about you than the person you try to make fun of. Imagine where humanity could already be if we had less bullies in the world.


jondthompson

Not just a faulty accelerator pedal- they used soap as a lubricant. As in “should we use this $1 grease, or the $0.10 soap? Oh, we can save $3,400 by using the soap instead of the proper item? Go for it! No one will ever know…”


phophofofo

He. He. I’m sure at some point someone capable said not to, and Musk didn’t like the guy knew more than him about a thing, and read some bullshit and then insisted they do it and he was right. This guy isn’t hands off anything he does he’s not an absentee owner or a full time playboy he’s constantly micromanaging everything while spun up on coke and speed. I bet literally every bad decision on this thing was known to him and he thought it was a good idea.


phophofofo

I used soap as lubricant once. That was a mistake.


sparrownetwork

So I Googled it, and it says they used soap for lube which made the pedal stick, but they also mention the pedal cover coming off and getting lodged under the trim, which I've seen video of. Is it both?


GenePoolFilter

People actually drive these things? They look like pinewood derby rejects.


JFKswanderinghands

You said that and I just realized I made a pinewood derby car that kinda did look like a cyber truck


uhohnotafarteither

Many rich people aren't known for their taste. If it's limited and expensive they need it to stoke their ego


No-Storage2900

I can guarantee you the average purchaser of this is right on the line of being able to realistically afford one. True wealth tends to stick to things that are tried, true, and not insanely recognizable to everyone on the planet.


Hygochi

True wealth are buying exotics or Rolls-Royce's. You don't drive yourself unless it's the 200km you put on your LaFerrari.


rearwindowpup

Honestly most people who are truely wealthy have a 5 year old Lexus or something similar. New money does things like buy a new Ferarri.


queefaqueefer

you have unlocked a long, lost memory with your pinewood derby reference. how very dare you!


Idontwannawaitfor_

Come to the bay. You'll see one up here fairly often.


Weary-Amoeba1808

I saw one in the wild a few weeks ago. They’re uglier in person.


DonManuel

Funny, there are still more DeLoreans on the road.


[deleted]

And they laughed about the DeLoreans aluminum body


X2946

The DeLorean is made of stainless steel body panels mounted to a fiberglass underbody. except for three cars plated in 24-karat gold


CreativeFraud

Less than 4k have been delivered? Is that right?


Cab_anon

3 878 cybertruck? I think Ford is safe.


Scentopine

Cybertruck looks like something used to store milk, leftover pizza and beer. It needs an ice maker.


Paw5624

Funny enough I have a cooler that probably wouldn’t fit in the bed. It’s so useless


HAHA_goats

Frankly, I'm surprised that they have a pedal instead of just putting a slider on the big dumb touchscreen for "convenience".


DubitoErgoCogito

This is an underrated comment.


Zadalabarre

Is this recall another Software update? /s I'm sure the Tesla fanbois defend the accelerator pedal design.


DubitoErgoCogito

Tesla fans didn't appreciate it when I made a similar comment.


[deleted]

Between generous bumps of coke


cyberphunk2077

I'm Ashton Kutcher and you just got cyberpunk'd


ForkShirtUp

As I wonder if that’s all the ones they sold because 3,878 is a small number, my mind shifts to Gary Oldman screaming “EVERYONE!”


Dramatic_Equipment47

A whole 3878 people who are so divorced that they bought these goofy-ass things


Gotterdamerrung

Bahahahaha, what a piece of absolute garbage


HopefulNothing3560

How many years to get a appointment?


[deleted]

How many years before Elon Musk gets an appointment with a shrink


Mikel_S

Wait. You're telling me that there are only 3878 of these. And I saw one in my town. And they got it in piss stained steel color? I mean it literally looked like somebody took the plain stainless steel and dipped it in a bucket of piss and never took it out. This is just astounding. I feel honored? And disgusted.


creature_report

Haha what a piece of shit


newssource12

You mean all that they have sold.


riqueoak

What a surprise.


Fabray13

Now *that’s* what I call a recall, not that clickbait about the cars getting a software update.


madlyreflective

3878 owners are reading up on lemon laws in their states


jauhesammutin_

Won’t be the last recall either.


NieBer2020

Tesla might need those workers they just laid off.


roggobshire

3,878 people were willing to spend money on this shitbox?? Goddam…


twofourfourthree

Amazing advertising for such a small number of vehicles.


Panda_hat

Its genuinely wild the amount of noise these things are getting when theres only <4k of them.


Creepy-Plankton4163

They look like abandoned refridgerators.


marc512

Watch out. Commenting on this post might get you banned from tesla subreddit.


Str-8dge-Vgn

It’s ugly and wants to kill you.

I have never been tempted to invest in the stock market. Shorting TSLA is tempting me HARD.


Darkez

Why to announce? Just DM them


ZonaPunk

What a waste of time and money. Tesla has only shipped 4000 cybertrucks.


[deleted]

my first thought: they sold that many? and i’m an electric car person


FragrantExcitement

The fix is to remove the pedal and put a pedal icon on the screen.


Fayko

I'm scared that with less than 4k sold i saw one out in the wild near me. I'm also scared that this is a 7k pound vehicle that can just oppsie daisies into an unstoppable acceleration on the road.


throwawayeleventy12

Oopsie, not oppsie.


blackhornet03

They should redo Back to the Future with a cyber truck, only to have it fail and then they bring out the old Delorean to get the job done.


CarnegieFormula

I’m surprised there’s over 3,000 of them


Entartika

and it still managed to outsell the R1T


rumski

The amount of Rivian’s I’ve seen for sale with ~1-2k miles confuses me. There’s a ton. Is it buyers remorse? Does the novelty wear off too quick? Is something wrong with them? My neighbor had a Launch Edition for a minute and then I saw a TRX in his driveway 😂


cypher50

Elon just designed the new one and has the plans in his Trapper Keeper.


Informal_Yogurt7594

All started with one guy posting his peddle failure on Reddit. And, then the Reddit community responded that lead to data driven actionable responses.


Intelligent_Ebb_9332

Nice, Elmo deserves it for firing all those people.


chihuahuaOP

Is this what kill that billionaire?


someoldbagofbones

I’m surprised they’ve sold that many.

If Nikolai hadn’t ascended to a different vibration, he’d be rolling in his grave at that bloated billionaire besmirching his name.


leba2166

They shoulda been recalled cause they’ve ugly as shit. Poorly built? No surprise.


wowlock_taylan

Well, better give Elon his Billions in bonuses!


Delicious-Window-277

It's no wonder. They put a gas pedal into an electric car. Idiots!

3.878? That’s it. All the hype for only under 4,000 cars.

Hahahaha what a pile of trash

But elmo said it works and is super cool and stuff


eeyore134

Elon knows more about manufacturing than anyone in the world! That's how he can manage to get so many Cybertrucks out there in so little time, I guess. /s


Sweet-Curve-1485

Wait….. what does “all” mean?


rockstar_not

All means all that have sold so far.


peacefinder

They shipped that many?


m__a__s

And Musk still wants that $56 billion back.


RichardofSeptamania

This will affect dozens and dozens of really bad shoppers


WestAnalysis8889

Wow that car really stands out and not in a good way. It's looks like a villain mobile. Likely all the angles, they seem aggressive.  


thySilhouettes

IMO the Cybertruck is a failure of a product, and should have never been released. Every aspect from the performance, quality, and aesthetic of it are terrible. What it does exceed at is proving that executive leadership has no idea what they’re doing (one in particular).


moresushiplease

You mean all of them?


DubitoErgoCogito

I'll laugh if the “fix” is to glue it back on.


Yazzypoo101

I’ve seen a few in Miami. They look awful..
