I’m sorry, were these people forced into buying this obviously dumb product?
No, but saying they deserve what they get removes all responsibility from Tesla to actually deliver on their promises at the point of sale. Basic functionality is inherently one of those.
Of course Cybertruck buyers should be expected to have to put up with some crap for being early adopters of such obvious bullshit, but that doesn’t mean they should have a truck that breaks down while driving away from the dealership.
Nobody held them at gunpoint making them buy it. All the evidence was there it was going to be trash, look hideous, and have terrible build quality. There comes a point the consumer is fully responsible for their decision. This is just another case of play stupid games win stupid prizes.
There comes a point the consumer is fully responsible for their decision.
At what point is that? Setting aside your opinions for this particular brand.
I don’t think there should be anything that takes all the responsibility away from the seller and leaves it with the buyer. Particularly not with a purchase over $10k, let alone a new purchase direct from a manufacturer.
Essentially, the logical conclusion of what you’re saying is that it’s ok for people to scam people, so long as it was obviously a scam, in your opinion.
Is a terrible way to handle sales from a corporation. When I purchase certain items I should be able to trust that it has certain quality of build or they’ll be liable as a business.
Now did these people make themselves marks? Yes, but even a blatant mark should have consumer protections
That applies to private sales between individuals, not between manufacturers and consumers. The manufacturer has obligations to ensure what they claim is a true and honest representation of what they’re selling.
The real irony here is that you’re basically siding with and defending Telsa in terms of their legal disputes with their customers.
I still find it hard to believe people paid money for this trash. Have seen a few on the road and it looks even worse in person. Almost convinced the few people I see are paid by Tesla to “show them off”
I don’t even know what the marketing pitch is for this thing. Middle aged Tesla fanatics with too much money than brains?
I watched DeMuro’s video on it, because it’s the first close look I’ve been able to get without it being marketing nonsense.
The tonneau cover is neat. It’s like a rolltop desk cover, motorized.
Literally every other design choice is either stupid or dangerous.
Motorized tonneau covers are aftermarket addons that add around 2k to the price of the vehicle, plus installation.
They also take up a not insignificant amount of space near the front of the bed with the canister.
Teslas solution genuinely looks pretty good all things considered. Time will tell how they hold up. People are usually 50/50 on if they like their tonneau covers or think that they’re leaky garbage.
My Internet education has learned (sic) me forums are a place to complain no matter how good the product is. Also ice publications love shitting on ev’s any way they can. This however I’m absolutely believing.
Yeah the cybertruck is garbage, but forum complaints existing is a meaningless measure. Every product in existence has forums where you can find people complaining about the product.
I have had to perform a repair on my 13 year old Brother laser printer. I’m a little sore about that.
How much longer until Tesla cancels this project and proclaims this model is a “limited edition”?
