I wonder if anyone outside of the cult is going in for the Cybertruck.

And it can fry up two orders of a large fish and chips and a saveloy.

It’s another Elon gimmick, like that tunnel with queueing Teslas under Vegas or that flamethrower with the six inch range.
The difference is he bet the farm on this one. And when Tesla’s market cap is already ludicrous it was a fucking stupid move next to, I dunno, making something people actually want and not trying to cash in on a brief and memey mainstream interest in cyberpunk which is already largely in the past.

It’s a meme car. The market for anyone interested in a:
- truck - a bullet proof truck - a bullet proof electric truck - a fuck ugly bullet proof electric truck - an expensive fuck ugly bullet proof electric truck - an expensive fuck ugly bullet proof electric truck that is a four wheeled endorsement of Elon Musk
Must be vanishingly small. Like you could fit the target demo in a phone box.

It also got an issue of being highly susceptible to dents and almost impossible to repair them.

Apple has now withdrawn advertising from the dying platform. If anyone wants a Bluesky code I have 4 spares. Can I have one please? I guess I should try to grab a username at least while the going’s good.

I'll have a Bluesky invite as well, if one is going.
How is it with news people to follow? I generally used twitter to follow journalists and news organisations as it became the best way to keep up to date with ongoing events. A few interesting celebs and maybe the odd gaming/film people were also chucked in there too.

It's not as busy with news organisations but that's changing, more are slowly joining and that applies to notable people as well.

Yeah. His fan club outside the tech bro demographic seem to be the kind of people who think EVs are kinda gay

Companies keep trying though, there’s that electric F-150, the Rivian and that electric Hummer.

There will definitely be a market for one that you can actually use for work and not make you look like a cunt when you drive it.

That doesn’t hold these people back, they love nothing more than a lifted truck with huge led lights in the back just to annoy and be as obnoxious as possible. The bed is always empty because they don’t actually need a truck.

I'll never get over the fact that they CHOSE to use stainless steel for the frame.

I'm planning to build a time machine out of mine. I mean, this is literally the level of sophistication he’s bringing to the table with this. Let’s build a weird looking car out of stainless steel because the Delorean was and it is a much-beloved car. Except it isn’t a much-beloved car. It’s a much-beloved time machine with the transplanted 911 engine, but it was a dreadful car. (I admit there may be good reasons to go with a stainless steel construction. I just don’t know of any myself)

You know because the people who will be driving this car will obviously under heavy gunfire as opposed to being killed by the actual frame piercing their body like a pin cushion. #genius

Won't it also get stupidly hot sitting out in the sun all day on a construction site or anywhere it is supposedly designed for?

Once it's up to the right temperature you can chuck some fish and chips in it.

Stainless steel will rust if exposed to salt or grease, lucky those things aren’t often found on roads
