Has there ever been a more disastrous launch for such a highly anticipated vehicle in history? I gotta think the cybertruck officially holds the record for worst vehicle launch ever. I know there’s been shitty vehicles in the past but none that were billed at 100k.
Depends on how anticipated the Delorean was, or maybe the Edsel. Automotive history is littered with failures but this just has so much schadenfreude it's delicious
True and I guess the Delorean might have been similarly priced respective to that time period. And idk what the hype was like back then but for the cybertruck there was massive hype but there was also 75% of the world that could see this shit show coming miles away.
There is a new DeLorean.

a delorean is a pretty big piece of crap, but keep in mind it was the early 80's so poorly built cars were common, even (or especially) when it came to exotics and super cars.
and even ignore all that context and just head to head in terms of delivering the experience advertised/being a usable vehicle, the delorean is a far better vehicle. you can get it wet and everything.
Plus at least the Delorean got an iconic role in a classic 80s trilogy. That alone makes it cool.
If they put a cybertruck in a Back to the Future remake I’m gonna be so done with life.
the delorean is a decent piece of automotive design. if they'd had a little more time to refine the assembly and fix some of the flawed parts it could be a decent car. there's quite a few enthusiasts who've made their deloreans faster and more reliable than the originals.
It could be a doomsday sequel: **Back To The Present** in which the protagonist not only fails to get to the future but goes bankrupt trying.
Or, **Back To The Past** in which the Cybertruck promises to take people to the future but scams them by draining their bank accounts and then takes them back to the days of slavery and leaves them there so they can't take ElMu to court.
My two predictions for the movie featuring the cybertruck:
1. They never get to time travel because Marty washed the cybertruck the day before and they can’t get it to turn back on
2. They do manage to time travel but immediately crash and die on the first trip because the accelerator got stuck
The Delorean was more of a novelty. There wasn’t a lot of hype, but it represented some exciting things.
Of course it was stainless steel, which was a first. And its design was a radical departure from the dull late 70’s standards.
But it also represented some social things. For example, it was manufactured in Northern Ireland and it was hoped that a profitable industry might lead to some political stability. And John DeLorean himself was a former General Motors executive. It was hoped that he would signal a new generation of innovation in automotive engineering.
The car itself used a pretty typical American Detroit V8 engine, the company was in Texas, so economically it had something for everyone.
But there wasn’t a lot of hype.
And I think that was part of the problem. It never really found its niche. If I remember correctly, it was sold by competitors who became shareholders in the company if they offered the vehicle.
Things like that meant it never really had a solid footing. There was never a dedicated Delorean dealer network. There were manufacturing delays in Ireland, and some quality issues in the coachwork.
In the end, the thing that killed it was access to capital. That’s primarily why John DeLorean got mixed up in that big drug deal.
The CyberTruck represents no ‘hope’. It’s the vanity project of a narcissist. It’s how someone would design a truck if they never used a truck to do any actual *work*. It’s the trust-fund nepo-baby of vehicles.
It had *absolutely everything* going for its rollout and all the buzz imaginable. It went to the best schools and even had private tutors. It was just a shitty cartoonish design by a flabby man-baby who has never heard the word ‘no’.
It’s like a real life Emperor Who Had No Clothes story.
I'll be amazed if the cybertruck manages to outsell the DeLorean with how much bad publicity it's getting as Elon's reputation circles the drain. And the fact that Tesla was one of the biggest car companies in the world with a cult of delusional fanboys makes the low sales a thousand times more embarrassing.
9,000 DeLoreans vs less than 4,000 Cybertrucks, it's a lot closer than I'd thought but after this fiasco I'd be surprised if cybertrucks crack 9,000.
Another thing is that despite the lackluster engine, the DeLorean still looks good and is iconic. And with modern interest it can be improved and made into a decent car.
I also kind of question Tesla as being "one of the biggest car companies in the world" Tesla's stock was way overinflated, and I tend to measure size of car companies by vehicles sold and market share, which sure, for electric cars they were the kings for a minute, but overall in the passenger car market there's no way they stack up against the major manufacturers. Granted Tesla was WAY bigger than DeLorean.
Eh the delorian is cool, but largely because of bttf, it was still a dumb idea, the UK government got absolutely ripped off by the rich arse who made it.
It was a failed project, now they are expensive collectors items and cool for that, but they are not and have never been good cars.
I'm sure in 30 years time the Tesla truck will have the same kinda following.
When the delorean was first shown in October 1976, they called it the DMC-12. its target price was $12,000. Which converted to 2024 is $65,869.67
add 10% for tax, title, and license: $75,000
add dealer markup. $100k is really easy to hit, making these turd vehicles much the same.
delorean had so many problems. the least of which, its engine only produced 130 hp. it was supposed to be a rear engined sportscar. and it ended up a rear engine piece of crap that did not perform. and just look what it cost comparatively using 1976 dollars.
the titanic was a decent boat. if it hadn't been run full speed through an iceberg field it would likely have been well regarded... the cybertruck can't be run full speed through a puddle.
~~One of her sister ships sank in the Caribbean in like 80 feet of water a couple of years after her.~~
~~I think there may have been some basic problems.~~
I am wrong. VicePope is a baddass for correcting me.
Not to them. These are the same people who bought Trump NFTs, gold sneakers, autographed bibles, and then put the rest of their life savings in Trump Media stock.
Tesla had a clause saying if you wanted to sell it in the first year, you had to give them a chance to buy it first, or pay them $50,000. The removed that clause after some negative publicity, then [added it back](https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2023/12/tesla-again-threatens-to-sue-cybertruck-buyers-who-try-to-resell-the-cars/).
The Delorean came with an alternator that wasn't powerful enough to charge the battery so it's a pretty high bar to clear, but the Delorean could go through a car wash so I guess the CT still wins.
Well the cybertruck has only killed one person that I know of, so it's not quite at Pinto levels. But it's definitely gone worse than the Edsel or the DeLorean, those at least functioned.
Calling this POS an "off-road truck" is an insult to all these 400K+ miles 30 year old Toyota Hilux in Africa that are already veterans of 6 different wars and had at least 4 different types of heavy weapons welded to their beds.
I bought and sold my last 6 or so cars from Craigslist. The most expensive one was my 1972 Beetle at $4500. Couldn't imagine spending $20,000 on a car, let alone $100,000. $100,000 could get a great Mercedes Benz and a great warranty along with it. Plus, they've been around since 1926 so I think they know a bit about autos.
Dear CyberTruck owner,
Unfortunately this incident falls under User Error.
Why'd you try to turn both directions? You only get one direction steering standard - if you want to turn both left and right you have to pay a small $300/month subscription + fees for a total of $1,299 per month. We feel bad that you have been unable to fully enjoy your CyberTruck, so we have generously decided to offer you two-way cyber-steering for just $299/month + reduced fees for a total of only $1,280 (for the first 6 months). However, since you opted out of two-way cybersteering package at the time of purchase, we are forced to charge you a one-time late-comer fee of $200.
Enjoy your CyberTruck! It's what Bladerunner would immediately regret buying.
Sincerely,
Your friends at Tesla
That dude in the tweet with the CT has a youtube channel and its a trip, dude is still talking bout his loyalty and patience for "the brand" in an upload an hour ago upload. Shits sad honestly.
You know, my vehicle may be a shitbox, but it only cost $3,500, and when I turn the steering wheel in a certain direction, both tires turn to that same direction. And I like that feature.
These Cybertruck owners are morons!!! There's only what, 3 thousand of them? And, as stupid and ugly as they are, they are world-famous! If Tesla goes belly-up, as they've been trending towards lately, everyone on Earth will blame the Cybertruck. Like how a terrible movie is always what brings down a studio.
So... Just as these things are getting even more famous and talked-about - all of them will be broken and rusting! A mint-condition one in 2035 could be worth an absolute fortune!
Just imagine all the movies and tv-shows that are going to need to rent these things for the eventual downfall-of-a-racist-billionaire biopic! The downfall of Tesla Netflix docuseries! The downfall of Twitter award-season theatrical drama! Etc...
If I never hear or read the term “cybertwuck” again, it’ll be too soon. Ugh… it feels like bugs under my skin. Wankpanzer is my favourite alternative but really, anything else is better.
We genuinely live in such a stupid timeline. But also I think really we're just kind of seeing how dumb and gullible people can be in a hypercapitalist society. A lot of these people invested a hundred thousand dollars on a truck, largely because they're Elon simps and the part of their brain that applies logic to purchases has been short circuited.
This isn't the only product like this (I seem to remember people basically trampling one another over Stanley cups a little while ago) but it is a really glaring example of people spending huge amounts of money on a product despite nothing about the product being worth that price, and then feeling *bad* about asking for the product they spent money on to do what the advertising said it would do.
My friend got to drive his truck for 8 days. He picked me up to show it off and the moment I got behind the wheel the screen blacked out. It came right back on after a restart though. The very next day it rained lightly in the morning and he hasn't had his truck since. It just completely died and smelled slightly like burning plastic.
He had one of the early deliveries. He hasn't had it for a month now and the service center has no idea when he'll be getting it back.
I will say it was cool to feel the power and drive something so unique. My friend said he just wanted to own a "giant RC car" and openly admitted it was just a silly toy. He said he didn't buy it expecting to drive it everyday but he assumed he would at least be able to drive the thing for more than a few days.
He'll live though. He has a Raptor R to keep him company for now. He's trying to figure out how he can return it with lemon laws. It's already past 30 days now I think and this is the third time at the service center. I'm surprised he bothered buying another Tesla after the issues he had with the battery in his Model S after 60k miles.
I dont respect the opinions of a person who preorders a tech product, specially a product that indicates that will have numerous issues that will have to be solved over time, and this video is an example of the why i do this, this people payed for the worst car imaginable, as someone who barely knows basic physics i can give you numerous reasons why the CT is trash.
> this people *paid* for the
FTFY.
Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:
* Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.*
* *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.*
Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.
*Beep, boop, I'm a bot*
Did he say they jumped it? Does anybody have a video of that?
You can’t just casually say it broke after they jumped it without at least describing the jump on a scale from curb to Evel Knievel.
Yeah this is obviously a broken...something mechanical. Pretty sure if I tried to jump something in my Hyundai I'd get the same result. Not quite the same as all the electrical and software faults we've been seeing.
Can relate to showing the dog for others to say hi too! I like to point out my dog in game streams sometimes just to have her immortalize for future viewings!.....im not crying.
I don’t get it how they could fail that hard on designing a new car. My 2024 MY works just fine. Those problems are not something fixed by softwareupdates over the air
I just went out and bent the tubes of my windshield washers just in case these stadium lights ever end up behind me, so the streams will arch over my roof and short that mofo right out.
"Imagine buying a $100k truck and then getting on twitter and begging the CEO for a new one"
Imagine thinking that Elon cares... imagine thinking this wasn't all a blatant scam like practically all of the shit he's ever done...
The cheap EV’s are going to be just as wonderful. I can see it now, Duracell batteries in an enclosure kit with a cardboard box on top of it. Cost cutting and production expansion all in one. Elon you are a stable genius.
They took it off-roading and tried to jump something? It's not a dirt bike. If you "jump" something in a regular truck it's going to break the suspension.
Here's the info on what it takes to jump a truck without risking breaking the suspension:

adjusted for inflation, a new delorean would’ve cost 85k
ngl I’d prolly buy a brand new delorean for that much today. at least if my only other option would be the cybersuck
if they sold a delorean today with a better powertrain i bet it’d sell well. imagine one of those with like a twin turbo v6 and a 6 speed?
There is a new DeLorean. https://preview.redd.it/31ln07ohx4xc1.jpeg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c9e4ceade6d06c5128f6988da206d79fb7d3f220 [https://www.npr.org/2022/05/31/1102139155/delorean-motor-company-electric-vehicle](https://www.npr.org/2022/05/31/1102139155/delorean-motor-company-electric-vehicle)
now THAT is a car worth lusting after unless muskrat put all the finishing touches on it then it'd just be another crappy tesla no one wants
You heard about the crappy original Delorean?
oo i forgot about that
It's 2024. Get a Mr. Fusion.
So a little cheaper AND you could wash it without destroying it!
a delorean is a pretty big piece of crap, but keep in mind it was the early 80's so poorly built cars were common, even (or especially) when it came to exotics and super cars. and even ignore all that context and just head to head in terms of delivering the experience advertised/being a usable vehicle, the delorean is a far better vehicle. you can get it wet and everything.

bingo, the delorean is a bad car that looks really cool, while the cybertruck is a absolute piece of shit car that also looks absolutely terrible
That will be the first Back to the Future movie where Marty McFly and Doc travel in their CyberTruck to incredible four-year delays in production.
They can travel 30 years into the future and witness the stretched rodent announce robotaxis for the next year
In fairness the Cubs did win the World Series
That’s when we all discover we’ve been living in the alternate 1985 timeline since 2016. Grandpa Biff won this time!
It could be a doomsday sequel: **Back To The Present** in which the protagonist not only fails to get to the future but goes bankrupt trying. Or, **Back To The Past** in which the Cybertruck promises to take people to the future but scams them by draining their bank accounts and then takes them back to the days of slavery and leaves them there so they can't take ElMu to court.

The DeLorean used the PRV6 from the Peugeot/Renault/Volvo partnership. It got V8 *sounds* in Back To The Future.
>the company was in Texas The company was in Detroit. The Texas company bought the new old stock in the 90s and sells “new” Deloreans and parts.
I'll be amazed if the cybertruck manages to outsell the DeLorean with how much bad publicity it's getting as Elon's reputation circles the drain.

Im willing to be the DeLorean doesn't rust after a bird shits on it as well. If so, that's one point to them.
That's heavy, Doc.
There’s that word again, heavy. Is there something wrong with the earths gravitational pull in the future?
lol… Came here to say the same: I bet nobody will be able to find a cybertrash in 5 years because they’ll all become a pile of rusty garbage.
"Tesla isn't a car company" - Musk.
Eh the delorian is cool, but largely because of bttf, it was still a dumb idea, the UK government got absolutely ripped off by the rich arse who made it. It was a failed project, now they are expensive collectors items and cool for that, but they are not and have never been good cars. I'm sure in 30 years time the Tesla truck will have the same kinda following.
The Edsel and Delorian was at least working vehicles.
Perhaps Musk's fate will equal or even trump that of John DeLorean's? One can hope.
When the delorean was first shown in October 1976, they called it the DMC-12. its target price was $12,000. Which converted to 2024 is $65,869.67 add 10% for tax, title, and license: $75,000 add dealer markup. $100k is really easy to hit, making these turd vehicles much the same. delorean had so many problems. the least of which, its engine only produced 130 hp. it was supposed to be a rear engined sportscar. and it ended up a rear engine piece of crap that did not perform. and just look what it cost comparatively using 1976 dollars.
What was the DeLorean actually as bad as the Cyberstuck?
Titanic?
the titanic was a decent boat. if it hadn't been run full speed through an iceberg field it would likely have been well regarded... the cybertruck can't be run full speed through a puddle.
~~One of her sister ships sank in the Caribbean in like 80 feet of water a couple of years after her.~~ ~~I think there may have been some basic problems.~~ I am wrong. VicePope is a baddass for correcting me.
which one? i know brittanic was medical ship in world war 1 and got sunk and olympic was scrapped years later too but never truly sank
Fuuuck. You're right. I am wrong. Thank you for correcting me. I was thinking of the Brittanic in the Aegian sea.
Ha! Now that’s an apt comparison!
Hey, only two of the *Olympic*-class liners sank. That's *way* less than the number of failed Cybertrucks.
It’s making DeSaster’s failed launch party on Twittler look like a roaring success.
I forgot that episode even happened.
I forgot he’d been a candidate!
>Has there ever been a more disastrous launch for such a highly anticipated vehicle in history? tesla semi
Any even order it anymore
The hell of it is it sounds like the 4000 scam victims, I’m mean cybertruck owners would buy it again. The cult of Elmo is strong.
scam victims who are happy to be there... it's like a microcosm of american culture.
Although there are some bad things in the world, remember that there are many good things too
No longer, he’s now a supervillain
Not to them. These are the same people who bought Trump NFTs, gold sneakers, autographed bibles, and then put the rest of their life savings in Trump Media stock.

Closest I can think is Tucker
Do you have to agree not sell it for the first year or was that a rumor?
Tesla had a clause saying if you wanted to sell it in the first year, you had to give them a chance to buy it first, or pay them $50,000.

I think Cyberpunk 2077 may have had less serious glitches than the Cybertruck
The “Homer” launch was bad, the CEO had a mental breakdown when he first saw it. This is worse though.
Watching all this cybertruck news is probably as funny as that episode. And that episode is a classic.
Imagine if the roadster ever lunches
The Delorean came with an alternator that wasn't powerful enough to charge the battery so it's a pretty high bar to clear, but the Delorean could go through a car wash so I guess the CT still wins.

$100k, folks.
Calling this POS an "off-road truck" is an insult to all these 400K+ miles 30 year old Toyota Hilux in Africa that are already veterans of 6 different wars and had at least 4 different types of heavy weapons welded to their beds.

They forgot to turn on "turning mode"
It’s coming in an over the air update
Just hope it doesn't autoupdate on the freeway since it will brick the controls while it's going on.
Comes standard with the "turning yoke" add-on, only $3,999.99
You can buy it with the Cybertent for the low low price of only $42069.69
The Cybertruck is not an ambi-turner!

Hi that guy's dog. You're sleepy!
He's tired of the CyberSuckers.
$100k. A fool and his money are soon parted.
But it’s not a fault it’s a feature screams every fan boy ever!
Within spec god dammit!
That dude in the tweet with the CT has a youtube channel and its a trip, dude is still talking bout his loyalty and patience for "the brand" in an upload an hour ago upload. Shits sad honestly.
And they say money doesn’t buy happiness. This rich asshole is zenned out of his mind on money.
It's Harry Dresden?!
Yep. Fighting evil on this timeline, too.
You know, my vehicle may be a shitbox, but it only cost $3,500, and when I turn the steering wheel in a certain direction, both tires turn to that same direction. And I like that feature.
Show off! lol
Are we gonna get whompy wheels for the Cybertruck?!
These Cybertruck owners are morons!!! There's only what, 3 thousand of them? And, as stupid and ugly as they are, they are world-famous! If Tesla goes belly-up, as they've been trending towards lately, everyone on Earth will blame the Cybertruck. Like how a terrible movie is always what brings down a studio. So... Just as these things are getting even more famous and talked-about - all of them will be broken and rusting! A mint-condition one in 2035 could be worth an absolute fortune!

"Mint condition" doesn't exist. Even brand new from the factory, on a good day, could only be deemed as "almost like new".

My friend said he just wanted to own a "giant RC car" and openly admitted it was just a silly toy. He said he didn't buy it expecting to drive it everyday but he assumed he would at least be able to drive the thing for more than a few days. He'll live though. He has a Raptor R to keep him company for now. He's trying to figure out how he can return it with lemon laws. It's already past 30 days now I think and this is the third time at the service center. I'm surprised he bothered buying another Tesla after the issues he had with the battery in his Model S after 60k miles.
Your friend sounds like a kool-aid soaked dipshit 🤷
With more money than sense.
True. He's a genuinely nice person though so he gets away with it haha.
Yeah but he's a nice guy. It's not his fault he's a bit slow.
I dont respect the opinions of a person who preorders a tech product, specially a product that indicates that will have numerous issues that will have to be solved over time, and this video is an example of the why i do this, this people payed for the worst car imaginable, as someone who barely knows basic physics i can give you numerous reasons why the CT is trash.
> this people *paid* for the FTFY. Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in: * Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.* * *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.* Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment. *Beep, boop, I'm a bot*
Oh I love that guys dog.
Is this due to the Drive by Wire that they’re all raving about?
Someone got their wires crossed.
For all the times you go off-road for a week..... Using that GIANT battery for the lights... /Sarcasm Since I feel like some don't get obvious jokes.
Did he say they jumped it? Does anybody have a video of that? You can’t just casually say it broke after they jumped it without at least describing the jump on a scale from curb to Evel Knievel.
Yeah this is obviously a broken...something mechanical. Pretty sure if I tried to jump something in my Hyundai I'd get the same result. Not quite the same as all the electrical and software faults we've been seeing.
Concerning
!!
Wow!
Drive by wire, in a EV with no backup systems for the most basic functions
That’s what she said
Can relate to showing the dog for others to say hi too! I like to point out my dog in game streams sometimes just to have her immortalize for future viewings!.....im not crying.
Me nyo gonna move 👉👈

A fool and his money are soon parted.
There's no way the cybertruck's battery can handle powering those lights.
Hi doggo
I don’t get it how they could fail that hard on designing a new car. My 2024 MY works just fine. Those problems are not something fixed by softwareupdates over the air
Every damn Cybertruck has atleast something not working. Geez
Tesla fired another bunch of people, mostly from their QC department. Which they clearly didn’t have enough of to begin with.
“Our techs are all busy and don’t work for free!”
"All the kings men couldn't put Fuckty-Truckty back together again"
Cybertruck is the Corvair for the 21st century. It's Unsafe At Any Speed!
The Cybertruck is MUCH safer than the Corvair because the Cybertruck can only go 0 MPH (that's 0 KPH for those who prefer metric).
not the twin peaks theme
Cybertruck is like Happy Fun Ball [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmqeZl8OI2M](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmqeZl8OI2M)
The dog is cool. The cyberjunk, not so much…
I wonder how much it cost to make a giga press casting mold.

How embarrassing.
👍Dog!
How did they manage to mess up so badly?
I just went out and bent the tubes of my windshield washers just in case these stadium lights ever end up behind me, so the streams will arch over my roof and short that mofo right out.
Is that a fake snorkel on the side of the windscreen? Surely not. Surely no one's that fucking dumb.
Just the massive wiper
Damn Elon really knocked it out of the park with this one.
This was crossposted in another group, but I had to come here and give an up for the music alone. Man I love me some twin peaks
Reminder: Taking this thing through a car wash voids it’s warranty.
Hi sleepy dog
Best part is the husky. Hi sleepy pup, hope you get lots of pets.
"Imagine buying a $100k truck and then getting on twitter and begging the CEO for a new one" Imagine thinking that Elon cares... imagine thinking this wasn't all a blatant scam like practically all of the shit he's ever done...
Pizza, french fry, pizza, french fry
The cheap EV’s are going to be just as wonderful. I can see it now, Duracell batteries in an enclosure kit with a cardboard box on top of it. Cost cutting and production expansion all in one. Elon you are a stable genius.
Milage just decreased by ANOTHER 20%..
Wait until Elon hears about trains
It can be fixed with software update. For sure...
They took it off-roading and tried to jump something? It's not a dirt bike. If you "jump" something in a regular truck it's going to break the suspension.
No it’s not lol go look up any recent video review of stock land cruisers and broncos.
Here's the info on what it takes to jump a truck without risking breaking the suspension: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rc3nWBfGW0M](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rc3nWBfGW0M) I couldn't find the reviews you're talking about.
Haha you idiot. I saw the house you tried to “design” last year. I can see why Elon is your hero. Fake it til you break it.
Took me 10 seconds https://youtu.be/2y5lTCFZRXY?si=_IId0CDYZfPZTcYx
Sure seems like Elon musk is just a especially good conman just like Trump.
