And they look like a 13 year old's idea of a 'futuristic' vehicle. If it was 1985.

A bit like Geordi La Forge's Visor, a futuristic visionary aid from a time gone by. Except they stick to his face better than a Cybertrucks body panels stick to itself.

Yup. Here’s the actual 1985 design that the Cybertruck is based upon only it had better construction. (They used Airfix model glue)

My boss at the time got one of these because they were Sinclair dealers for their calculators.

It went 1 mile on battery, when he cycled into town downhill. He looked like he was about to die cycling it back up the hill to the offices 🤣
 
Sure. Peaceful protests are quite acceptable. I never did endorse vandalising a Tesla.

He's doing gods work.

Getting those dangerous cybertrucks off of the road by force, before a body panel flies off and decapitates somebody...👏
He is just an idiot showing off a gun,(and if he was black it most likely had a different ending) doesn't mean he got any Tesla off the road and even if he did, he did so by harrasing / bullying / scaremongering the owners of said vehicle. The more impressive video would be someone calmly walking op to a Tesla owner and convincing them they made a bad choice and thus chose to replace it.
But those won't get you views.

Exactly: leaving aside the Musk baggage, they're badly designed and poorly manufactured.
Cybertruck surely is other Tesla's where actually not that bad also score quite good in Ncap tests, but the cybertruck is a trainwreck and shows why America's rules on what kind of vehicles they allow on the road are outdated.

"Oh by the way buddy, I think you spent $100k on a sh*t heap. Why don't you trade it in?"

Anyhoo, I don't have any old Hob nobs, they are dark chocolate.

What is the second hand value of a Cyber truck?

(that's rhetorical if there was any doubt)

Canada responds to US tariffs by freezing rebates for Tesla cars and removing them from future incentives. The Canadian government is also individually investigating current claims. This is probably connected to reports that 4 Tesla dealerships sold over 8,500 vehicles in a single weekend in January. For scale this was 1 car every 2 mins and assumes the dealerships were open 24 hours.
Around 45,000 of der Fuhrer Autos were sold in Canada in 2024.

I know in the UK, Tesla dealerships sell hundreds per day on certain release days. When we picked up our model 3 there were over 250 cars delivered to owners, we were released in waves of ten.
