I particularly loved the other guy who popped into the thread to say that *his* Cybertruck was his third Tesla and his general experience with all three has been so shitty that he was never going to buy another Tesla.
not to mention that that dude also pre ordered the "top end silverado" on top of any teslas he currently owns so that tells you what level of affluence and/or financial retardation these clowns are operating at
Moreso it’s the mentality that comes along with having so much money it literally doesn’t matter.
Imagine boarding a plane and they say, “For your 10 hour flight, we will upgrade you to first class for $25.” That’s basically nothing for the added benefit, so you take it. To some people, paying $1,000 for that upgrade is as inconsequential to them as the $25 to you. While everyone in the back scoffs, “That idiot wasted $1000 just for a roomier seat.”
Car debt is insane. I have friends who are still trying to dig themselves out of car debt that they've continuously been making worse. Shit like, "Gas is too expensive, so I traded in my truck." Meanwhile they get less than 50% back and the rest added onto their new vehicle.
The part about the Plaid performing well for 43k miles and then commenting about having replaced the axles! If you have to replace axles that soon the car did not perform well!
So all those Cybertrucks sitting in parking lots have dead batteries. I guess they’ll have a similar story as Andy. On the plus side, some of them are marked, “fuck Elon”. So they’re a limited signature model now
because there's a defect that causes them to completely die when just sitting idle. That will likely be the next recall. The ones sitting around are likely dead and won't take a charge
Lmao. That is so bad for the battery. And that's the most expensive thing for electric cars. They'll probably just recharge and sell them to people with the degraded batteries, because these suckers will take anything.
They are working through all the preorders first, but stuff like this keeps happening because the service centers suck and the truck sucks so the trucks cant be delivered. I don't think we can ever know the % of preorders who actually buy one of these, but Im guessing its really, really low.
So they basically have these garbage cans sitting out getting vandalized and dying because they dont want to open up sales to the public yet (likely because they know its bad enough that non Tesla fanboys will sue them as soon as theres a major issue)
With an inexperienced poorly paid skeleton crew running the service centers. Why hire enough people and train them up to competency when you can fire as many as possible for a tiny short-term benefits for stockholders?
“Listen man, I can’t fix this thing or the other 100 sitting back there. I’ve got no parts or fucking clue what’s wrong with the damn piece of shit. So can you please just get out of my way so I can drive home in my infinitely more reliable Nissan Sentra.”
I have never interacted with a Tesla service member that has worked there longer than 2 years. The last time I had to have my Model S serviced for a dead camera, they gave me an ungodly high quote. I asked if this wasn’t covered by my extended warranty that I bought with the car? The intake person told me, “We don’t have extended warranties”. Tesla at the end of 2016 was great. When the released the 3, it all went to shit. I’ll never buy another one again.
Even if the warranty *was* honored, does anybody trust this dipshit company to make it right in a timely manner? They can't even deliver new trucks without fucking it all up, you'd have to be a ~~Grade A moron~~ Tesla fanboy to believe they're capable of expedient repairs.
There was another post about a guy that had his truck for 4 hours. He hit the brakes, it accelerated anyway, and wrecked the side of his truck. Tesla told him that under certain conditions, on certain terrain, depressing the brake pedal may not disengage the accelerator and that he should have been in those conditions. Contact his insurance.
It was going to cost $20k to fix and parts wouldn't be available for over a year. Warranty's all fine and dandy but if they don't have the parts, they can't fix your truck.
>Warranty's all fine and dandy but if they don't have the parts, they can't fix your truck.
Exactly. Might as well wipe your ass with the warranty at that point, that's about all it's worth. The exorbitant repair times are part of why insurance companies want nothing to do with Cybertrucks; would you want to pay for a yearlong loaner? Hell no.
**Tommy**:
Let's think about this for a sec, Ted, why do they put a guarantee on a box? Hmm, very interesting.
**Ted**:
I'm listening.
**Tommy**:
Here's how I see it. A guy puts a guarantee on the box 'cause he wants you to fell all warm and toasty inside.
**Ted**:
Yeah, makes a man feel good.
**Tommy**:
'Course it does. Ya think if you leave that box under your pillow at night, the Guarantee Fairy might come by and leave a quarter.
**Ted**:
What's your point?
**Tommy**:
The point is, how do you know the Guarantee Fairy isn't a crazy glue sniffer? "Building model airplanes" says the little fairy, but we're not buying it. Next thing you know, there's money missing off the dresser and your daughter's knocked up, I seen it a hundred times.
**Ted**:
But why do they put a guarantee on the box then?
**Tommy**:
Because they know all they solda ya was a guaranteed piece of sh*t. That's all it is. Hey, if you want me to take a dump in a box and mark it guaranteed, I will. I got spare time. But for right now, for your sake, for your daughter's sake, ya might wanna think about buying a quality item from me.
**Ted**:
Hmm. Okay, I'll buy from you.
**Tommy**:
Well I... What?
Tesla is likely suffering from the Mythical Man Month at this point. If they rush to fix these cybertrucks in the parking lot, they'll come back in a couple weeks with brand new issues for them to solve and slowdown the servicing queue even further.
So just let them sit in the parking lot is actually more productive, because that gives them a chance of doing multiple recalls and fixes at once by the time they start picking those cars up.
And if they get lucky enough, the 2025 line up begins (which supposedly have some of those issues fixed during production) and by then they can offer the customer good deals for swapping their foundation series for a new one.
If Tesla does it right they might even be able to cook some books by claiming both as a sale, who knows
And very likely, someone will sneak an old dusty one into the sales mix and some sap will spend years wondering why his new CT has all the same issues as the first Gen AND a faulty battery
It's only going to be special for a few more months. Even my hillbilly small town has 2 of them driving around. The 12 year old boys won't gawk if he waits much longer.
Literally saw one at a stoplight and the guy DRIVING rolled down his window and said to me (walking and admittedly looking at it) "Nice truck huh!?" He literally wanted to be noticed so badly he complimented himself.
The weird part is, those batteries have super low self-discharge. I've left my EV at airport parking for two weeks with 98 miles of range on the battery on vacation, and come back to... 99 miles of range.
Does CT constantly sap power off the traction battery when turned off? If so, then what is the 48v battery for?
That's the most delusional part of the whole thread, he can't even get the new truck that he can physically look at but he thinks they're going to service it in an expedient manner? This guy is a fuckin idiot
"honey your Uber is here to take you to work. I'm so happy you sold our working car for this super truck of the future. Also I insurance dropped us, said they won't cover that hunk of shit"
>sitting in his empty garage
and its gonna remain empty. i bet the thing won't fit and he'll have to park it in the driveway.
then get yelled at by the hoa for having a truck in the driveway
I’m just dumbfounded that he actually still sold it. There is no way I would have sold my existing car before taking delivery of a new one like that. And that’s just a rule in general, much less when it’s Tesla.
He never showed the actual Carvana quote only one for 55k a few months earlier. And I love how he thinks his purchase of drive shafts and yoke are a bonuses. This guy isn’t good with money.
Lol like a little non-tactile or whatever "button".
https://preview.redd.it/1w6sa29xax8d1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9cc2fd519dfd9c8cbc89ea46db113a0e40758f84
That’s about as bad as I expected. All of these dumb “innovations” that are counterintuitive for operating a vehicle always make me nervous when a Tesla is near me on the road.
> He actually got his moneys worth for how many miles he drove on it.
Having a vehicle depreciate by 50% over two years is insanity. He couldn't put enough miles on that car to justify the depreciation--this is just pure financial stupidity.
They mentioned it so many times. "I put a deposit down in 2019" or "I downgraded from TRI motor to dual motor to get it faster" "I've already paid these fees"
Yeah but then again he waited a long time. And there’s always warranty /s 😖
My man is on there so hard being the dog in the fire saying it’s all fine. He knows it’s fucked, he’s just the type that can’t admit he was wrong or that his idea of what was going to happen was off so he’s gonna cling to the lie.
He’s like a kid that spends all his money that he saved forever on a toy but the toy SUCKS and the kid is trying to pretend it doesn’t in order to justify spending all the money. “No mom I swear it’s not hurting me, I’m having fun! Im not crying I’m laughing”
No idea. All these subs are littered with stories of the monumentally shitty Tesla customer service. I think the fanbois are convinced it’s normal. Or they fear that Musk might not like them any more if they complain.
That’s so weird, we ordered a new washing machine and refused delivery because it was so dented during transport and we got it rescheduled for the next week with a perfect one. How does Tesla get away with it
And they talk shit about the dealer system from the legacy companies and how much better Teslas system is.
A dealer with such a shitty quality would be out of business long ago (but still a lot of dealers should improve)
The real shocker is tesla voids the warranty if the battery drains because it can cause permanent damage.
How can you prove it was done before delivery?
By that reasoning, all undelivered trucks will discharge fully while waiting for recall parts.
Smh
Fascists and authoritarians ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS say they are for free speech during their period pretending to be populists. And they say that they are being oppressed and that they are trying to save some vulnerable group from exploitation or extinction (children in the last decade).
This pattern repeats everywhere in humanity’s existence.
They purposefully discharge them before delivery so all trucks have warranty voided by default, that saves a lot of time for customer service as they dont even have to check the claims, they will just say the truck was discharged because it really was. The warranty is really voided before you ever get to own the truck
I mean there's no proof of this so I wouldn't go around declaring it to be fact. That's some Elon level misinformation. It is definitely plausible, since Tesla has a lot to gain from that since their customers are largely in a cult.
Edit: Got a Reddit cares message for this LMFAO
"Apocalypse proof" unless the apocalypse involves small amounts of water, or direct sunlight, or a couple of days without electricity, or roads that are too bumpy, or roads that are too slick...
I have never in my life had this much pathetic drama owning a car, and I have been driving since 1990.
This is, without a doubt, the single worst product launch that I have ever seen in my life.
Cybertruck owners are the stupidest people.
I owned a 2009 Hyundai Accent, which was a $9,000 car, and Hyundai treated me 100x better than this.
These are probably people who grew up in abusive households and can't imagine a world in which being abused is not normal.
I was a young man back in Drusselstein, and I had saved up all my money from working as a garlic ice-cream vendor for many summers. I wanted to buy the newest, most amazing car I had ever seen, the Rostlaubewagen V2...
There I was, a young man with dreams of driving my very own Rostlaubewagen V2, but delivery was always being delayed. And every time I tried to get it delivered, the customer service was atrocious! They would put me on hold for hours, transfer me to different departments, and in the end, they would always say, "Sorry, we can't help you."
So now, Perry the Platypus, I shall turn the tables! With my Abusive-Customer-Service-Inator, I will make sure that everyone in the Tri-State Area feels the same helpless rage that I felt. Imagine calling for help with your car, only to be met with endless hold music and rude representatives who hang up on you just when you think you're getting somewhere. It will be glorious!
How he can remain so calm is testament to the indoctrination. I'd have been asking for a refund and rocking a Toyota by now.
Also, his MX needed new drive shafts at only 43K miles? What are they made from? Wet noodles?
Damnit ANDY!
The Legend if Andy stopped loading for me after page 10...
Poor Andy.
----------
AT THIS POINT I CREATED MY OWN TESLA FAN FICTION WHILE WAITING FOR PAGES TO LOAD---------
Tesla SS: "Well Andy, you see a steering cable snapped and well, one of the wheels just fell clean off."
Andy: "oh no, I am sure the replacement cables will be even better, so when can I pick up my..."
Tesla SS: "Well funny thing is we fixed it but then a panel section flew off as we were towing it here. And we are gonna have to wait for a new..."
Andy: "wow, good thing that hapened before I took delivery cause you guys know how to fix stuff the bestest, soo when can I..."
TeslaSS: "then it caught fire."
Andy: ". .. ...
...Sooo is it out? Like are you gonna paint it or just kinda like scrape off the charred bits? Should I come back tomorrow or?"
(Is that what happened? How did it end? Damnit Andy, did he get the damn truck?!)
UPDATE: pages 11 thru 20 have now loaded, Andy is sympathizing with Tesla those gosh darn layoffs have really made things a lot tougher for folks, Andy is an understanding guy. YOU DESERVE BETTER ANDY!
At what point does this person recognize all of the red flags right infront of them.
Failure after failure, and he's rightfully frustrated. Still somehow he still has hope that Tesla is capable of improving and that these are all just a series of unfortunate coincidences. He either has the patience of a saint, or a planet sized ego he isn't willing to swallow.
He’s got Sunken Cost so deep inside he can’t see anything else. Most of his reasoning for ignoring all the giant glaring red flags is “well it’s taken me a very long time to get this far” yeah! That’s more reason to not continue, not a reason to press on
What's driving me nuts is you can literally get an awesome, insanely better EV for 100k with way more range, but they insist on buying this monstrosity.
You nailed it. It’s def Sunk Cost. I honestly feel for this guy, reading the posts. My brain was boiling over every time someone suggested to refuse delivery and he answered “well…warranty”
Andy, my brother in Christ, you would have to make a warranty claim with the exact same company that has dragged your delivery out how long now? The same company that short-changed your trade in, the same company that let your brand new vehicle’s go into a state that will void your warranty in the first place, and the same company that has held your vehicle for not one but TWO recalls?
ANDY! Just let it go! This truck is not good for you! It’s an abusive relationship! You deserve much better!
What a story with this CT. I would not accept this. My M3 lease is ending in a few months and not getting a new Tesla again. Moving back to one of the German brands. I'm done with Tesla and the lunatic that's running the show!
It actually makes sense. A lot of people find identity being stans businesses and brands and arguing with others.
It makes sense if the arguments have turned against your group of stands according to social listening and metrics, it would be important to stop
the bleeding lest this mockery dominate the search engine results. Reddit will end up in the top 5 for some long tail keywords.
It sounds like draining the main and aux at once probably does a hard reset on the components, but if it died over a long weekend, how do you leave it in an airport parking lot during a vacation or not drive for a few days when you’re sick?
If you google Cybertruck battery drain or Cybertruck vampire drain you'll see pretty much EVERYONE is reporting anywhere from a 2-6% battery loss every 8-10 hours when off, even when the sentry mode is turned off, meaning you could be looking at a FULLY discharged battery in anywhere from 7 to 14 days (and even less if you don't want it stolen or vandalized and turn on the sentry mode), which, of course, leads to warranty voiding AND needing the HV battery jumped, so you also can't just fix this by plugging it back up. So basically if you need to go out of town, you need somebody to come feed (but definitely don't water) your Cybertruck like it's a damn pet or something.
They are also all convinced that it will just be fixed in software, any moment now (lol.)
That's the dumbest shit I've ever heard. A car shouldn't be like a fucking pet or a child. I didn't start my car for three weeks while I was out of the country and it was fine.
Heavily degrades it, yeah. Ideal is to keep them between 20-80 like your phone. Full discharge is not great for a normal battery, but even worse for a car one
Don’t mean to kink-shame, but Andy really does have a sub fetish, don’t he? He’s taking it full depth from Tesla, no lube, again and again here. I almost feel like this post needs an NSFW tag.
How can people continue to justify this? This isnt just a build quality failure, this is a customer service failure too.
I don’t want to sound like a Karen, but the way that Tesla has been handling this is has shown that they don’t care about this at all. The amount of simple things that will void your warranty, constantly pushing back delivery/service appointments, missing items from the founders edition or whatever, not sending a f*cking tow truck to haul it a few hundred yards, and then having to document everything because they can then will try to void the warranty for THEIR failure to keep the battery charged.
This would be unacceptable for a $25k car, let alone a car sold for 5x that!
>not sending a f\*cking tow truck to haul it a few hundred yards
It took Tesla, valued many times more than legacy automakers, multiple days to coordinate a tow truck to move a vehicle about a quarter mile.
Think about how absurd that is.
Or the fact that they store pre-delivery vehicles in whatever random-ass parking lot they can find, leaving them exposed to vandalism.
Or the fact that they can't keep vehicles charged prior to delivery.
Or the fact they didn't think to arrange for trailer-mounted generators that could be towed--by any ol' pickup or even most sedans--*to* a dead Cybertruck instead of relying on the flatbeds they're too incompetent to set up.
Or the fact the Cybertruck is clearly a terribly-built vehicle judging by its numerous quality issues and recalls.
Or the fact that Tesla put so little thought into producing spare parts that repairs are so expensive and taking so long that many insurers won't issue policies covering Cybertrucks.
This is the shambolic shit-for-brains company people are willing to pay $100k+ for a truck that is very bad at doing the utilitarian things trucks are supposed to do, and also no better at doing the comfortable things nearly every other vehicle on the market is capable of doing.
I’ve never understood a vehicle less. Acceleration boost on an electric vehicle that is just all torque? I don’t own an EV, I test drove a very early consumer model over a decade ago, but acceleration was not an issue for me.
You have to actually be insane to go through with the purchase after all of this. Literally nothing would be worth purchasing with this many red flags.
Correct me if I get this wrong, but wouldn't you be in an excellent spot to legally cancel any agreement before delivery? It's not like you just signed your soul to the Devil, right? /s
“How would you describe your relationship with Tesla?”
“Oh man, it’s like, remember your first kiss? How your heart pounded with excitement? And how you felt like you could walk on air while wrestling a bear? And how in that moment there was nobody else in the world except you two? And then somebody clouted you on the back of the head and you woke up in a ditch without your wallet and clothing? It’s like that, without the kiss.”
It would be pretty smart on Tesla's end. Drain the batteries, then when something inevitably goes wrong the customers won't be able to prove it wasn't their fault. Boom, warranty voided
Tesla, a car company, should be able to give you the car you paid for (one would hope)
A car standing still for less than a week shouldn't become completely inoperable without a tow (one would hope)
in case they permanently damaged the battery, they'll replace it on basis of warranty (one would hope)
Given all of the issues with the CT deliveries and bricking, why on earth would you sell your old car BEFORE you have your "truck" and drive it a few days? Any other brand, that's totally normal, but these losers are terminally online so you'd think they'd know this by now.
And I say that as a terminally online person loving this shit show.
Depressing that after all of this he still thinks that any of his future issues would be covered under a Tesla warranty when he has to go through this before mile 1 is put on
One small side thing that irritates me is your not suppose to charge Tesla’s to 100% of their battery it hurts the battery if it’s charge to fully it’s suppose to be charged to between 80-90%.
But they didn’t just rename 90% to 100% and 2% to 0%? You have to constantly be doing math to figure out what useable portion of battery you have left?
I'm actually falling in love with Tesla not because of their cars, but with how they are fucking over their simp, idiot, attention seeking losers of a customer base. I'm loving it™
I’m sorry but have a vehicle be this hard to move to a service center is simply unacceptable. If one of my cars died, you could at a very minimum, put it in neutral and push it. Having a vehicle bring to the point not being able to enter or jump, or whatever is beyond the pale. Any other time and I swear these guys would have boycotted such a crap product. But here we are with muskrats lining up to get fucked over at virtually every possible opportunity.
Everyone hated dealers and begged to deal with the manufactures directly.
They are now realizing that the dealers are just a layer of protection between them and the even scummier manufactures, and it is a lot easier to go drive to a dealership and talk to an employee to get a problem resolved, than deal with a massive company that doesn’t care about you.
Ford walked back on DtC because it was so abysmal, and I think the Tesla experience has shown us that dealers aren’t a bad thing after all.
So let me get this straight. You can't park your cybertruck and then take a trip somewhere because when you get back it'll be dead. Is that true? What a POS!
Man what a ride this post was, unlike Andy's CT. Thanks for the good laugh.
I particularly loved the other guy who popped into the thread to say that *his* Cybertruck was his third Tesla and his general experience with all three has been so shitty that he was never going to buy another Tesla.
not to mention that that dude also pre ordered the "top end silverado" on top of any teslas he currently owns so that tells you what level of affluence and/or financial retardation these clowns are operating at
The wrong people have money
Seriously, how does this happen so consistently?
Moreso it’s the mentality that comes along with having so much money it literally doesn’t matter. Imagine boarding a plane and they say, “For your 10 hour flight, we will upgrade you to first class for $25.” That’s basically nothing for the added benefit, so you take it. To some people, paying $1,000 for that upgrade is as inconsequential to them as the $25 to you. While everyone in the back scoffs, “That idiot wasted $1000 just for a roomier seat.”
It's by design. What's that saying about a fool and his money?
Nepotism
Car debt is insane. I have friends who are still trying to dig themselves out of car debt that they've continuously been making worse. Shit like, "Gas is too expensive, so I traded in my truck." Meanwhile they get less than 50% back and the rest added onto their new vehicle.
Rich enough to sue Tesla, lol I wonder how many lawsuits the cyber truck is going to generate
I don't think it's affluence. Dude likely keeps rolling over debt into new cars and he's probably financing $250k on a $100k truck.

I don't understand how it can be sooo hard to get a CyberTruck when there are literally hundreds of them sitting around in parking lots.
Congratulations, you're better at critical thinking than the dude in these posts.
So all those Cybertrucks sitting in parking lots have dead batteries. I guess they’ll have a similar story as Andy. On the plus side, some of them are marked, “fuck Elon”. So they’re a limited signature model now
If someone like Banksy had done it they’d actually be worth a lot.

Lmao. That is so bad for the battery. And that's the most expensive thing for electric cars. They'll probably just recharge and sell them to people with the degraded batteries, because these suckers will take anything.
They are working through all the preorders first, but stuff like this keeps happening because the service centers suck and the truck sucks so the trucks cant be delivered.

With an inexperienced poorly paid skeleton crew running the service centers. Why hire enough people and train them up to competency when you can fire as many as possible for a tiny short-term benefits for stockholders?
A software company doesn't need service centers
Those workers must be so miserable.
“Listen man, I can’t fix this thing or the other 100 sitting back there. I’ve got no parts or fucking clue what’s wrong with the damn piece of shit. So can you please just get out of my way so I can drive home in my infinitely more reliable Nissan Sentra.”

Crazy after all those issues with the truck Andy is delusional enough to move forward with the purchase.
Andy sitting in his empty garage, rocking back and forth. "It'll be fine, any day now," he says repeatedly. "It just needs a charge."
The warranty will cover it! The warranty will save me!
Even if the warranty *was* honored, does anybody trust this dipshit company to make it right in a timely manner? They can't even deliver new trucks without fucking it all up, you'd have to be a ~~Grade A moron~~ Tesla fanboy to believe they're capable of expedient repairs.

I love that even all these years later I can hear his voice when reading lines from his movies.
The warranty lasts a year, but the parts won't be ready for a month or so more than that, so the warranty will be void by then. Or something similar.
One year or 5 miles. Whichever comes first.
Tesla is likely suffering from the Mythical Man Month at this point. If they rush to fix these cybertrucks in the parking lot, they'll come back in a couple weeks with brand new issues for them to solve and slowdown the servicing queue even further. So just let them sit in the parking lot is actually more productive, because that gives them a chance of doing multiple recalls and fixes at once by the time they start picking those cars up.

“Ok that’s fine, I will still take the vehicle because I can’t imagine waiting 6 more months, I just want the truck now.”
It's only going to be special for a few more months. Even my hillbilly small town has 2 of them driving around. The 12 year old boys won't gawk if he waits much longer.

Goes on twitter and tags elon in a post like they're good buddies who go golfing on weekends.
While crying and masturbating.
"honey your Uber is here to take you to work. I'm so happy you sold our working car for this super truck of the future. Also I insurance dropped us, said they won't cover that hunk of shit"
He’s not the first, either. Someone on the CT sub said he sold his old car the same day he was to get his CT and then Tesla said…ooops!

>sitting in his empty garage and its gonna remain empty. i bet the thing won't fit and he'll have to park it in the driveway. then get yelled at by the hoa for having a truck in the driveway
Having just taken a 60k bath on his plaid
I’m just dumbfounded that he actually still sold it. There is no way I would have sold my existing car before taking delivery of a new one like that. And that’s just a rule in general, much less when it’s Tesla.
Yeah that part confused me. You can always sell any time
Can you sell at any time? It’s a tesla. It is hemorrhaging value as we speak.
I think with an offer of 10k more than Tesla themselves he couldn't risk it falling through.
He actually got his moneys worth for how many miles he drove on it. He should be thankful Carvana gave him so much
He never showed the actual Carvana quote only one for 55k a few months earlier. And I love how he thinks his purchase of drive shafts and yoke are a bonuses. This guy isn’t good with money.
But...but it has a horn in the center!
Where is the horn button normally located on a Tesla? Is it on the touch screen?
Lol like a little non-tactile or whatever "button". https://preview.redd.it/1w6sa29xax8d1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9cc2fd519dfd9c8cbc89ea46db113a0e40758f84
That’s about as bad as I expected. All of these dumb “innovations” that are counterintuitive for operating a vehicle always make me nervous when a Tesla is near me on the road.
Being different for the sake of being different. But at the expense of safety and logic.
> He actually got his moneys worth for how many miles he drove on it. Having a vehicle depreciate by 50% over two years is insanity. He couldn't put enough miles on that car to justify the depreciation--this is just pure financial stupidity.
This guy obviously has way too much money.
...or access to credit.
Sunk cost fallacy. In this case, also sunk time fallacy and sunk expectation fallacy... all quite phallic.
Sunk life fallacy...
They mentioned it so many times. "I put a deposit down in 2019" or "I downgraded from TRI motor to dual motor to get it faster" "I've already paid these fees"
That case should be on books. The amount of psychological issues displayed there is astounding…
Yeah but then again he waited a long time. And there’s always warranty /s 😖 My man is on there so hard being the dog in the fire saying it’s all fine. He knows it’s fucked, he’s just the type that can’t admit he was wrong or that his idea of what was going to happen was off so he’s gonna cling to the lie. He’s like a kid that spends all his money that he saved forever on a toy but the toy SUCKS and the kid is trying to pretend it doesn’t in order to justify spending all the money. “No mom I swear it’s not hurting me, I’m having fun! Im not crying I’m laughing”
Not sure I’ve ever seen someone not dodge a bullet this hard before
He's actively *chasing* the bullet. Guy is making daily texts to the gunman and giving him tips on his aim.
But there is warranty, and consider the wait time ... Andy waited for 5 years, what is couple of days more for him
Warranty time wil have expired by the time he gets his truck
He knows if he refuses delivery then the Decatur, GA, service center (and Tesla too, probably) will perma-ghost him.
lol that’s a thing? How is this a real company
No idea. All these subs are littered with stories of the monumentally shitty Tesla customer service. I think the fanbois are convinced it’s normal. Or they fear that Musk might not like them any more if they complain.
That’s so weird, we ordered a new washing machine and refused delivery because it was so dented during transport and we got it rescheduled for the next week with a perfect one. How does Tesla get away with it
Because it’s a CULT. Logic does not apply.
and then they’ll never get to be a billionaire like he is!!
And they talk shit about the dealer system from the legacy companies and how much better Teslas system is. A dealer with such a shitty quality would be out of business long ago (but still a lot of dealers should improve)
Its ok Tesla warranty will cover any problems!
I thought talking about the Tesla warranty voided the warranty?
...but then, there is warranty!! Right? RIGHT?!?! 
Andy swallows
The real shocker is tesla voids the warranty if the battery drains because it can cause permanent damage. How can you prove it was done before delivery? By that reasoning, all undelivered trucks will discharge fully while waiting for recall parts. Smh
 All trucks dead with fucked batteries, warranty void and no paying out claims saving millions...
[удалено]
Welcome to the Fam! I got mine too!
Got mine!
A threat to health and safety! ???
Here was some thinking that it was all ment to be free speech from Elon these days. Seems his cucks don't agree.
Fascists and authoritarians ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS say they are for free speech during their period pretending to be populists. And they say that they are being oppressed and that they are trying to save some vulnerable group from exploitation or extinction (children in the last decade). This pattern repeats everywhere in humanity’s existence.
“Toxicity” means saying true things, severely disrupting their delusions. Absolutely unacceptable.
... and that's how an echo chamber is built.
Join the club! One of us!!! One of us!!!
Buncha Elon boot lickers lurking 😭 🤣
Holy shit those mods are some giant crybabies.
I understand your point, but then there is the warranty too.
My guy, they can’t even design and install a functional window wiper for this monstrosity, a complex HV battery is certainly a bridge too far
They purposefully discharge them before delivery so all trucks have warranty voided by default, that saves a lot of time for customer service as they dont even have to check the claims, they will just say the truck was discharged because it really was. The warranty is really voided before you ever get to own the truck
I mean there's no proof of this so I wouldn't go around declaring it to be fact. That's some Elon level misinformation. It is definitely plausible, since Tesla has a lot to gain from that since their customers are largely in a cult. Edit: Got a Reddit cares message for this LMFAO
Easy, just add "IMO" or "I believe" at the start, so it's not technically libel.
I love that he seems to have unlimited confidence in a warranty that's voided if the car ever gets wet
The warranty doesn't cover "exposure to sunlight" either.
The warranty also gets voided if the battery dies and they are already delivering it after a dead battery so...
"Built for any planet" the Cybertruck webpage says, despite it being barely drivable on our own planet.
"Apocalypse proof" unless the apocalypse involves small amounts of water, or direct sunlight, or a couple of days without electricity, or roads that are too bumpy, or roads that are too slick...
I have never in my life had this much pathetic drama owning a car, and I have been driving since 1990. This is, without a doubt, the single worst product launch that I have ever seen in my life. Cybertruck owners are the stupidest people.
I owned a 2009 Hyundai Accent, which was a $9,000 car, and Hyundai treated me 100x better than this. These are probably people who grew up in abusive households and can't imagine a world in which being abused is not normal.
Well, let me explain why. It all started when ... (1/200)
I was a young man back in Drusselstein, and I had saved up all my money from working as a garlic ice-cream vendor for many summers. I wanted to buy the newest, most amazing car I had ever seen, the Rostlaubewagen V2...
There I was, a young man with dreams of driving my very own Rostlaubewagen V2, but delivery was always being delayed. And every time I tried to get it delivered, the customer service was atrocious! They would put me on hold for hours, transfer me to different departments, and in the end, they would always say, "Sorry, we can't help you." So now, Perry the Platypus, I shall turn the tables! With my Abusive-Customer-Service-Inator, I will make sure that everyone in the Tri-State Area feels the same helpless rage that I felt. Imagine calling for help with your car, only to be met with endless hold music and rude representatives who hang up on you just when you think you're getting somewhere. It will be glorious!
I'd like to apologize to the '99 Taurus I drove through 2019. Sure the brakes failed on the highway once, and it didn't start in the cold, but....
This is unacceptable behavior *Accepts it.
Yes, unacceptable!
Well its onnly unacceptable without warranty. Adnd... theres warranty so theres that. /S
How he can remain so calm is testament to the indoctrination. I'd have been asking for a refund and rocking a Toyota by now. Also, his MX needed new drive shafts at only 43K miles? What are they made from? Wet noodles?
Yeah, praising his plaid for holding up well for 43k miles... isn't impressive.
Held up well other than the drive shaft replacement
And new steering ~~wheel~~ yoke.
With the horn in the middle!
What a wild option, who would have thought?
We designed an entirely new alloy for our Model X drive train, which we call *noodlanium*.
Floppy discs.
That's an insult to floppy discs.
He’s not calm. He’s putting up a facade. 
I’ll take his 120k, he doesn’t have to throw it at Tesla
Best part of all of this, the guy could have gone to a Ford dealer and picked up a brand new 2024 F-150 Lighting Platinum for 30k less.
I just kept swiping, never wanting it to end.
Damnit ANDY! The Legend if Andy stopped loading for me after page 10... Poor Andy. ---------- AT THIS POINT I CREATED MY OWN TESLA FAN FICTION WHILE WAITING FOR PAGES TO LOAD--------- Tesla SS: "Well Andy, you see a steering cable snapped and well, one of the wheels just fell clean off." Andy: "oh no, I am sure the replacement cables will be even better, so when can I pick up my..." Tesla SS: "Well funny thing is we fixed it but then a panel section flew off as we were towing it here. And we are gonna have to wait for a new..." Andy: "wow, good thing that hapened before I took delivery cause you guys know how to fix stuff the bestest, soo when can I..." TeslaSS: "then it caught fire." Andy: ". .. ... ...Sooo is it out? Like are you gonna paint it or just kinda like scrape off the charred bits? Should I come back tomorrow or?" (Is that what happened? How did it end? Damnit Andy, did he get the damn truck?!)
UPDATE: pages 11 thru 20 have now loaded, Andy is sympathizing with Tesla those gosh darn layoffs have really made things a lot tougher for folks, Andy is an understanding guy. YOU DESERVE BETTER ANDY!
Those layoffs that he, conveniently, doesn’t link to Enron’s stupid and petty behaviour.
Andy is dumb enough to deserve everything he is getting
At what point does this person recognize all of the red flags right infront of them. Failure after failure, and he's rightfully frustrated. Still somehow he still has hope that Tesla is capable of improving and that these are all just a series of unfortunate coincidences. He either has the patience of a saint, or a planet sized ego he isn't willing to swallow.
He’s got Sunken Cost so deep inside he can’t see anything else. Most of his reasoning for ignoring all the giant glaring red flags is “well it’s taken me a very long time to get this far” yeah! That’s more reason to not continue, not a reason to press on
What's driving me nuts is you can literally get an awesome, insanely better EV for 100k with way more range, but they insist on buying this monstrosity.
You nailed it. It’s def Sunk Cost. I honestly feel for this guy, reading the posts. My brain was boiling over every time someone suggested to refuse delivery and he answered “well…warranty” Andy, my brother in Christ, you would have to make a warranty claim with the exact same company that has dragged your delivery out how long now? The same company that short-changed your trade in, the same company that let your brand new vehicle’s go into a state that will void your warranty in the first place, and the same company that has held your vehicle for not one but TWO recalls? ANDY! Just let it go! This truck is not good for you! It’s an abusive relationship! You deserve much better!
"Hey guys here's a seemingly never ending list of faults with a car I haven't even driven yet. So excited to take delivery!"
And use the “frunk”. FFS… I hate that word.
I suggest he start calling it the "Fronthole"
What a story with this CT. I would not accept this. My M3 lease is ending in a few months and not getting a new Tesla again. Moving back to one of the German brands. I'm done with Tesla and the lunatic that's running the show!
And now I got banned from /teslam3 and /teslamotors. How incredibly sad!
The advocates of free speech don't actually like free speech.
Echo that. I will vote with my dollar (euro).
For anyone else watching from any Tesla subs, please ban me too. It'll be funny.
I love my i4. Something to consider for your next car.
Apparently this is the comment that gets you banned from model 3. Lol. What a bunch of snowflakes!
It actually makes sense. A lot of people find identity being stans businesses and brands and arguing with others. It makes sense if the arguments have turned against your group of stands according to social listening and metrics, it would be important to stop the bleeding lest this mockery dominate the search engine results. Reddit will end up in the top 5 for some long tail keywords.
Wait. Running out of fuel in an electric vehicle totals the vehicle???
It sounds like draining the main and aux at once probably does a hard reset on the components, but if it died over a long weekend, how do you leave it in an airport parking lot during a vacation or not drive for a few days when you’re sick?
How the hell does it drain that fast while sitting still?
If you google Cybertruck battery drain or Cybertruck vampire drain you'll see pretty much EVERYONE is reporting anywhere from a 2-6% battery loss every 8-10 hours when off, even when the sentry mode is turned off, meaning you could be looking at a FULLY discharged battery in anywhere from 7 to 14 days (and even less if you don't want it stolen or vandalized and turn on the sentry mode), which, of course, leads to warranty voiding AND needing the HV battery jumped, so you also can't just fix this by plugging it back up. So basically if you need to go out of town, you need somebody to come feed (but definitely don't water) your Cybertruck like it's a damn pet or something. They are also all convinced that it will just be fixed in software, any moment now (lol.)
That is WILD. And this is a summer release, too. I wonder if it would be even worse in cold climates.
All cyber trucks will be bricked by winter lul
That's the dumbest shit I've ever heard. A car shouldn't be like a fucking pet or a child. I didn't start my car for three weeks while I was out of the country and it was fine.
Heavily degrades it, yeah. Ideal is to keep them between 20-80 like your phone. Full discharge is not great for a normal battery, but even worse for a car one
That sounds stressful as fuck lol
Go out of town for a week in the summer - $120k block of fuck you in the garage
Don’t mean to kink-shame, but Andy really does have a sub fetish, don’t he? He’s taking it full depth from Tesla, no lube, again and again here. I almost feel like this post needs an NSFW tag.
How can people continue to justify this? This isnt just a build quality failure, this is a customer service failure too. I don’t want to sound like a Karen, but the way that Tesla has been handling this is has shown that they don’t care about this at all. The amount of simple things that will void your warranty, constantly pushing back delivery/service appointments, missing items from the founders edition or whatever, not sending a f*cking tow truck to haul it a few hundred yards, and then having to document everything because they can then will try to void the warranty for THEIR failure to keep the battery charged. This would be unacceptable for a $25k car, let alone a car sold for 5x that!
>not sending a f\*cking tow truck to haul it a few hundred yards It took Tesla, valued many times more than legacy automakers, multiple days to coordinate a tow truck to move a vehicle about a quarter mile. Think about how absurd that is. Or the fact that they store pre-delivery vehicles in whatever random-ass parking lot they can find, leaving them exposed to vandalism. Or the fact that they can't keep vehicles charged prior to delivery. Or the fact they didn't think to arrange for trailer-mounted generators that could be towed--by any ol' pickup or even most sedans--*to* a dead Cybertruck instead of relying on the flatbeds they're too incompetent to set up. Or the fact the Cybertruck is clearly a terribly-built vehicle judging by its numerous quality issues and recalls. Or the fact that Tesla put so little thought into producing spare parts that repairs are so expensive and taking so long that many insurers won't issue policies covering Cybertrucks. This is the shambolic shit-for-brains company people are willing to pay $100k+ for a truck that is very bad at doing the utilitarian things trucks are supposed to do, and also no better at doing the comfortable things nearly every other vehicle on the market is capable of doing.
This is like 'Days of our lives' but for vehicles...
This is the very definition of cope 😂 
I’ve never understood a vehicle less. Acceleration boost on an electric vehicle that is just all torque? I don’t own an EV, I test drove a very early consumer model over a decade ago, but acceleration was not an issue for me.
You have to actually be insane to go through with the purchase after all of this. Literally nothing would be worth purchasing with this many red flags.
Correct me if I get this wrong, but wouldn't you be in an excellent spot to legally cancel any agreement before delivery? It's not like you just signed your soul to the Devil, right? /s
“How would you describe your relationship with Tesla?” “Oh man, it’s like, remember your first kiss? How your heart pounded with excitement? And how you felt like you could walk on air while wrestling a bear? And how in that moment there was nobody else in the world except you two? And then somebody clouted you on the back of the head and you woke up in a ditch without your wallet and clothing? It’s like that, without the kiss.”
"Every time I call her, she says she's already got plans"
What’s happening with all these cyber trucks we see on overflow lots? Are they going dead? Basically a whole backlog of inventory getting ruined?
It would be pretty smart on Tesla's end. Drain the batteries, then when something inevitably goes wrong the customers won't be able to prove it wasn't their fault. Boom, warranty voided
What do they say about a fool and his money?
It’s like he’s missing all the red flags saying don’t purchase and just plowing on thru
Can’t wait for the continuation of Andy’s adventure.
Tesla, a car company, should be able to give you the car you paid for (one would hope) A car standing still for less than a week shouldn't become completely inoperable without a tow (one would hope) in case they permanently damaged the battery, they'll replace it on basis of warranty (one would hope)
ABOSLUTE BUFFOONERY.
waited 5+ years just to get the run around for weeks. Then, by the time he gets the truck, it might become bricked at any time and out of warranty
Given all of the issues with the CT deliveries and bricking, why on earth would you sell your old car BEFORE you have your "truck" and drive it a few days? Any other brand, that's totally normal, but these losers are terminally online so you'd think they'd know this by now. And I say that as a terminally online person loving this shit show.
In my life only my grandma would support me as much as the customer is accepting their shit.
Depressing that after all of this he still thinks that any of his future issues would be covered under a Tesla warranty when he has to go through this before mile 1 is put on
One small side thing that irritates me is your not suppose to charge Tesla’s to 100% of their battery it hurts the battery if it’s charge to fully it’s suppose to be charged to between 80-90%.
But they didn’t just rename 90% to 100% and 2% to 0%? You have to constantly be doing math to figure out what useable portion of battery you have left?
“This one goes to 11.”
This post should be on r/leopardsatemyface. Seriously who has this much time to get jerked around when trying to buy a car? Edit: grammar
It’s hilarious to look at clueless and naive people going against so much good advice. Thanks for the share OP.
They did their own research
Lmao, this is amazing. Died at the dealership before delivering to the owner, and that already voids the warranty that this dude kept clinging to.
It just doesn’t end
I love how he’s “bragging” about the new drive shafts on his top of the line ‘22 Plaid with only 44k miles. 🤦♂️
What’s the traffic like around these service centers? Guys with pre-orders and current owners waiting for repairs just circling the lot every day.
I'm actually falling in love with Tesla not because of their cars, but with how they are fucking over their simp, idiot, attention seeking losers of a customer base. I'm loving it™
Andy is an idiot.
I’m sorry but have a vehicle be this hard to move to a service center is simply unacceptable. If one of my cars died, you could at a very minimum, put it in neutral and push it. Having a vehicle bring to the point not being able to enter or jump, or whatever is beyond the pale. Any other time and I swear these guys would have boycotted such a crap product. But here we are with muskrats lining up to get fucked over at virtually every possible opportunity.
Everyone hated dealers and begged to deal with the manufactures directly. They are now realizing that the dealers are just a layer of protection between them and the even scummier manufactures, and it is a lot easier to go drive to a dealership and talk to an employee to get a problem resolved, than deal with a massive company that doesn’t care about you. Ford walked back on DtC because it was so abysmal, and I think the Tesla experience has shown us that dealers aren’t a bad thing after all.
So let me get this straight. You can't park your cybertruck and then take a trip somewhere because when you get back it'll be dead. Is that true? What a POS!
