Tesla - Brand Perception/Opinions

Imagine if someone bought this and as soon as they finish signing on the dotted line, the car immediately catches on fire 😂

Oh dude so many people are so underwater on their cars on this if they total theirs. At least insurance now has to pay out less.

Hertz is selling off their Tesla fleet in the US. Not surprising at all, I could see this coming when they announced purchasing thousands of Teslas a few years ago.

I'm surprised there are people who buy former rental cars.

The new Tesla Cybertruck is super-fast and bullet-proof – but who is it for? An expert analyses the design

The angular shape, flat surfaces and triangular roof line look like nothing else currently on sale.

theconversation.com

"The apocalypse can come along any moment, and here at Tesla we have the best in apocalypse technology."

At the launch event, Musk said of driving the truck: “If you have an argument with another car, you will win.” The Cybertruck appears to focus very much on protecting its occupants, while negating the advances in road safety that consider vulnerable road users such as pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclists or even other vehicles.

In its design, the aesthetics and safety considerations of the Cybertruck have diverged from Tesla’s previous values. This begs the question: beyond the initial early adopters, celebrities and influencers, who is this truck for?

Surely it won’t appeal to the same core base of existing environmentally-conscious Tesla customers. And a bulletproof, go anywhere, do anything tank with the ability to reach 60mph in 2.6 seconds is quite a tool in the wrong hands.

He's literally marketing it to anti-social elements and incels. Anyone who views car accidents as "winning" or "losing" is seriously deranged, and then pile on the "it's bulletproof" and you realize this thing is for the deranged-with-money. It's trying to be the first world toyota-hilux-with-a-turret.
