For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.
No flaming, baiting, etc. This community is intended for those opposed to the influx of Elon Musk-related advertising online. Coming here to defend Musk or his companies will not get you banned, but it likely will result in downvotes. Please use the reporting feature if you see a rule violation.
Opinions from all sides of the political spectrum are welcome here. However, we kindly ask that off-topic political discussion be kept to a minimum, so as to focus on the goal of this sub. This community is minimally moderated, so discussion and the power of upvotes/downvotes are allowed, provided lemmy.world rules are not broken.
Post links to instances of obvious Elon Musk fanboy brigading in default subreddits, lemmy/kbin communities/instances, astroturfing from Tesla/SpaceX/etc., or any articles critical of Musk, his ideas, unrealistic promises and timelines, or the working conditions at his companies.
Tesla-specific discussion can be posted here as well as our sister community /c/RealTesla.
Good. I sincerely hope Tesla disappears completely.
Federal vehicle registration data compiled through May 2026 reveals that just 7,133 units have hit American roads this year.
Industry experts reveal that SpaceX corporate fleet purchases are artificially padding these dismal delivery metrics to mask a severe, ongoing drop in organic consumer demand.

And they’re all in Los Angeles County for some reason.
Oh, there are plenty in Silicon Valley.
Aside from 3 Cybertrucks with one wrapped - rural TN is relatively low. Got us one whole charger tho.

Honestly, you don't need big data for this. All you need to do is look at the resale values of used ones. And those resale values are plummeting.
And yet I still see these fucking trucks on the road.
sucks your government doesn’t give a shit. theyre illegal here
I saw one once, thinking they were illegal here. My day was worsened
It was also supposed to be cheap. The base model was supposed to be around 39kUSD.
It would almost be worth a truck with that many cut-corners for cheap, but it's more expensive than more capable vehicles.
If it tried to drive through that cordon it'd fall apart.
It's too big and Musk is toxic, but I can't hate them even half as much as everyone online wants me to. I wish they were the size of my S10. That would be so fun. Still wouldn't buy though. It's a sign of a company that's been valued several orders of magnitude above what logic would suggest that they were able to put them into production. You think the bean counters and poindexters at GM or Ford would've ever okayed a Cybertruck? Only with several hundred billion dollars of unearned "investment" can a company get away with putting that thing into production.
