The Mercedes-Benz EQS is one of the biggest flops in the company's history, and could compete for the worst flop of 21st Century. The over-production is so bad that they are still selling MY2023 stocks in China with almost 50% discount:

EQS450+ MSRP: ¥881k (US$122k) Lowest OTD Price: ¥451k (US$62k) Average Transaction Price over 6 months: ¥528k (US$73k)

Other EQ series products are also in deep trouble. Nobody wants soap bar cars and MB didn't realize it until it's too late.

I like how people gloss over how this went from "the body is the structure" to "we glued metal panels to a plastic truck".

A Tesla Cybertruck Owner Says Kids at his Son’s Baseball Practice Laughed at his Cybertruck After it was Towed – Adds, “28 kids Went From Thinking the Cybertruck Was Cool to Pointing & Laughing”​

A Cybertruck owner says that the 10-year-old kids at his son’s baseball practice initially thought the Cybertruck was the coolest vehicle. However, their excitement faded & they started to point & laugh after the Cybertruck had to be towed on a flatbed.

"I became a laughingstock because my divorcemobile got towed in front of a worthless children's baseball team" would be a great thing to have on your tombstone, which could just be a repurposed & engraved toilet since you put everything from your divorce into that truck.

This guy's entire writing career is the Cybertruck. God (who isn't real) bless.

The greatest lesson about all the Tesla thing is how most people liked or hated Tesla (model) based on outside influence rather than the inherent properties of the product. What is worse they are not even aware of their own manipulated reasoning and complete irrationality.

Tesla's are poorly made trash built on false promises and advertising to unsophisticated, stupid, personality devoid dorks and antisocial types.

Since day 1, every model S owner and uber driver i dealt with was clearly insufferable, incel and/or not all there and hoping to buy a personality.
Same losers who obsess over phones, what game company they like, whatever. Anything but contributing to society.

Same with the cybertruck divorcemobile association.

It continues with this pathetic "people are manipulated to not like it" false superiority bullshit these dorks push. As though people can't be independently critical of clearly bad products.

We are in this mess because people like this should have been bullied to literal death in childhood, but god forbid we purge the waste from our society

Now youve got countries where a fifth of the people cannot do basic math and half of people are barely literate near-humans.

Almost every Tesla owner I know personally has bought TSLA. They genuinely believe that by buying a Tesla product, they contribute to the sales volume and thus stock price, so they can make back the cost of the car in stock value.

Honda reveals delay of $15-billion Canada investment part of shift in EV strategy

Even Honda/Acura has woken up, and Toyota remains stubbornly set on driving Lexus off a cliff🤬
Click to expand...

Toyota clearly masters hybrid tech...no question there. And yet, they just refuse to use that edge to make more exciting cars.
What do we get instead? Some whiny-ass 2.5L NA hooked up to a eCVT, still hanging on for dear life...in freaking 2025!!

Now just imagine if they kept refining the V35A - didn't even need to match the B58, just get damn close. Pair that with a high efficiency transmission, some proper hybrid tuning, and throw it into all the F Sport Performance models across the lineup...
Man, just imagine the hype.
