It looks like the future now!

It will never be possible again to see a Cybertruck arrive and not imagine that guy jumping out.

"I get paid to be out here,” said the man holding an anti-Musk Tesla sign. “Definitely. 100 percent," he added.

“Quid pro quo” is a Latin phrase that means “something for something” or “this for that”. It's used to describe an exchange of goods, services, favors, or money.

Instead of complaining, you could simply solve this by becoming a billionaire, like Elon did.

That puts it exactly into perspective. Musk certainly does like putting his thumb on a scale. Why shouldn't anybody else?

Musky forced to halt Cybertruck deliveries as parts fall off!

Ooooopsie....

Quote:
Elon Musk’s Tesla has been forced to halt sales of its electric Cybertruck pickup amid mounting concern about metal panels falling off the supposedly indestructible vehicles.

Customers posting on the Cybertruck Owners Club website – as well as on Mr Musk’s own X, formerly Twitter – said they had been told by agents that deliveries were on hold.
Electric vehicle-enthusiast website Electrek said the decision was taken amid increasing instances of trim and panels “flying off the supposedly ‘bulletproof’ electric truck.”

One such problem is afflicting the pickup’s cantrail, a decorative trim part that follows the edge of the Cybertruck’s roof from back to front.

The latest development adds to a litany of build-quality issues with the pickup, which entered production in 2023.

While Tesla has made great play of the Cybertruck’s ultra-high, stainless-steel exoskeleton in reducing chips, most of the visible panels are attached rather than being part of a combined body and chassis as they would be in a traditional car design.
Tesla has had to issue a number of recall orders for the Cybertruck, including one last year that concerned the detachment of a cosmetic exterior panel glued on to the vehicle.

Owners have reported that the issue is more acute in cold-weather conditions, suggesting that the low temperatures may be affecting the adhesive used.
Other recalls have involved software fixes and an issue where the accelerator pedal could become stuck in the interior trim, potentially causing unintended acceleration.

While the Cybertruck’s distinctive wedge-shaped, paint-free design polarized reviewers, it initially garnered strong interest, with Mr Musk claiming that more than 1m people had reserved the vehicle.

However, Tesla has increasingly resorted to discounts to support sales amid reports of large numbers of finished vehicles awaiting a buyer. The company is also said to have rebadged high-end “Founders Series” versions to market them as cheaper, standard models.

Tesla has become a target for anti-Musk sentiment in the US and across Europe following the billionaire’s emergence as Donald Trump’s closest adviser, his criticism of Ukraine, and his role in pushing for deep spending cuts via his brainchild, the Department of Government Efficiency.
Tesla’s share price has crashed in the past few weeks amid concerns about dwindling sales, a backlash against Mr Musk’s politics and wider market chaos.

European safety regulations mean the three-tonne Cybertruck is not allowed on UK roads, with its angular design and solid front falling short of requirements for protecting pedestrians.

Insider selling of TSLA stock has been ramping up, including the top executives and Elon's brother. Meanwhile, Musk tells his employees to "hang on to the stock". When you have reached the point where you are asking the little guys to prop up your net worth, something has gone terribly wrong.

His rationale for hanging in there while Tesla sales crater? A promised $20,000 robot to babysit and "mow the lawn". And a 5-year late robotaxi to compete with Waymo, who has already been at it for years.
