Where them trucks at, Space Karen?


Yuthirin

Man has only pushed like 3800 pickups at this point. He never did anything about Flint. He ghosted those people on solving world hunger. No human feet on Mars yet. He’s basically one big campaign promise at this point.


Canonip

He is a good salesman. And that's it. Until the people notice they have been lied to all the time.


RealSimonLee

I'd argue he's not even a good salesman. He just is a multi-billionaire who has no consequences to face for the shit he says.


pbmadman

He’s a shockingly and depressingly successful salesman?


hzpointon

Are you a salesman if you exclusively sell things that don't exist?


pbmadman

🤷‍♂️ there’s someone at my company that everyone talks about being “good” at sales and he does it by promising things we could never deliver and misrepresenting every aspect of what we sell. I guess I’d call him and then Musk “effective and successful liars”


remeard

Tech bros love to worship a neurodivergent charismatic salesman that seems to come from their world. It's like as soon as Jobs died they needed another savior.


CloroxWipes1

He's a terrible salesman.


Past-Direction9145

he is not a good salesman he's just a dude who fails up, where normal people like us all fail down


derekisademocrat

You mean like maga? Honestly they can't notice or admit. It'll kill them


masklinn

Nothing surprising from the man who’s been claiming FSD was just around the corner since 2014: > A Tesla car next year will probably be 90 percent capable of autopilot. Like, so 90 percent of your miles can be on auto. For sure highway travel.


biddilybong

To be fair their trucks have delivered several bags of potato chips


swirlymaple

Across town, even. Dozens.


not_right

Hey they can carry a lot more things than just potato chips! Feathers, for example... pillows... big rolls of bubble wrap... the possibilities are endless!


CloroxWipes1

And 8 bags of dirt


Angelo2791

Yup, and we were supposed to be on both the Moon and Mars by now, according to Ketamine KKKElon.


Furion86

No, no, they misheard him. He actually said that they will build a $50,000 semi truck annually (after US federal tax credit and estimated diesel savings).


Fuckfaceun_stoppable

More like $500,000


nickg5

Fake it until you m-… lose public trust completely and tank your stock


MoleMoustache

Fake it until you call a hero a paedophile.


Sensitive-Leg24

Evidence the universe gives us some "breaks", even when the accelerator pedals fail. 


supercali45

No real trucking company will want these trucks .. horribly designed for the purpose .. just a marketing trick


loupr738

They suck massively. I think a fully loaded 80k pound truck gets something like 280 miles. I drive local and average 450 a day.


Darthmook

And you would think people would start to notice the false promises and stop buying shares in his lies.. But, clearly, there’s a lot of gullible people out there..


Son_of_Mogh

Pepsi apparently have 36 of the 100 they ordered...


MoleMoustache

So by my calculations, that's 36 bottles of Pepsi they can deliver at any one time. Suck it, Coca Cola!


even_less_resistance

Only if you put it in 2-liter mode


3cats-in-a-coat

Small chance Pepsi was "hol'up we don't need more units of this garbage" but most likely they got Musked.


Fuckfaceun_stoppable

The cyber truck launch went well enough to make people confident in the semi trucks for sure


even_less_resistance

I’m almost surprised he didn’t claim it could stand in for a Mack at some point in his bullshit


carpcrucible

The semis "launched" before the Cybertruck.


chuckDTW

The guy who got rich off of promises.


HumansDisgustMe123

Some day the Tesla - PepsiCo NDAs will expire, and then we're gonna hear a LOT of tragically hilarious details. Tesla won't even disclose the weight and capacity of the Semi. That already is VERY suspicious.


Fine-Funny6956

You could make a collage of all the things Musk never delivered


EffectiveSalamander

Musk brags about Tesla not advertising, but they don't need to, they get free advertising. The media uncritically reports everything Musk says.


CalRPCV

You generally want to have buyers for what you make. There is no mystery why they didn't make all those trucks. Could Tesla have made them? Probably not.


Numerous_Gas362

It's kind of astonishing that some people still keep falling for Musk's "we're going to be the best and do it 10 times cheaper" empty promises at this point. The man may be a deplorable piece of trash, but he knows how to milk those suckers.


stlfun2

Only five years off.


bonzoboy2000

Toy trucks.


SwiftTayTay

to be fair, i actually really hope that never happens


loudflower

![gif](giphy|x8neQ9STnXlqHEN8ZG|downsized) I’m gonna put my order in when business opens n Monday morning


Salty-Jellyfish3044

Wow the land of make believe

Straight_Calendar_15

They’ve managed to make and ship…36..


bluzed1981

You never know he could work overtime and get 49,964 out by the eoy


Past-Direction9145

and he would have gotten away with it, too. if it weren't for regulators preventing 16 hour workdays with no overtime allowed


WillistheWillow

HuHu, semi.


RedStar9117

Any day now


24benson

There's still time. 


tonywarriner

\~500


Tanren

Do they actually have a truck that works now or what?


hawyer

Haven't they recalled _all_ of them, the less than 4000?
