In case anyone else needed a good belly laugh today.
@chu Thank you. I will never ever get sick of Cybertruck schadenfreude. Natural justice is my favourite kind of justice.

Cybertruck Turns Into Large Metal Brick After Going Through Car Wash

As one recent Tesla Cybertruck owner found out, even a car wash was able to defeat the 6,600-pound pickup.

Don't wash in the sun and No windshield wiper fluid either?

Auto car wash will void warranty?

Sounds like the vehicle is not made to withstand basic wear and tear. It is not consumer ready.

Everyone get together and file a class action law suit.

It's not a consumer product.

It's when a deranged billionaire gets no pushback in his company about his "ideas" because he will fire everyone that dares to state such things.

Same with the b.s. statement that Tesla will make its future money with a focus on robotaxis. It will very clearly not. But no-one in the company will dare to say that to his face.

@knud @Betterifyouneil @BobLefridge @greg @chu
The robotaxi pivot is a face-saving measure to cancel what was going to be an unprofitable economy car, especially given competition from China.

The charade will go on for a year or two, then Musk will claim government regulation and/or insurance of driverless vehicles makes it impossible to bring to market, and it will disappear into the same hole as the Boring Company/hyper loop.

@RealGene @Betterifyouneil @BobLefridge @greg @chu

But then Tesla will have zero product perspective. Not looking good.

@knud @Betterifyouneil @BobLefridge @greg @chu
Uh, yes.
They'll do the typical cell-phone refresh, like up the battery capacity, or decide that gull-wing doors aren't hip anymore, or make a Miata-like version of the Roadster out of the Model 3. But a coherent product line from the company that brought us the CyberHomer EV? I think not.
