Lol. Tesla stock down 30% since June.

Tesla, seriously, that roaring sound that’s rising in pitch is y’all about to slam into the ground. Eject the dead weight already.

Yup, keep riding that baby down. I bought in 2011, sold 2021. Thanks for buying me a house!

Now I get to watch that child Elon fuck up this golden goose, and I don’t have to lose money while I laugh!

Oh I don’t own the stock. But you can’t deny that it’s been a great asset for anyone that got in early. Saying it’s down 30% from 6 months ago without looking at the big picture is short sighted.

Also, fuck Elon

My dude, even legacy stocks that pay dividends like fucking Costco and Microsoft are up 250+% the past 5 years. The market has been absolutely bonkers the past 5 years, and acting like Tesla is some incredible investment and not just a meme gambling stock is pretty hilarious.

yet another feature a regular Car can do better than this truck. its pretty damn sad when your truck fails at basic vehicle properties, before you even get to what its supposed to be, ‘truck’. kinnnnda comical how bad this thing is.

such sweet nectar the schadenfreude, i could live off it for days.

I deliver to a Tesla dealership/lemon farm everyday, and they had one on display. It had a smudge on the driver side rear quarter panel that they never got buffed out.

You don’t buff these things. You have to regrain them by rubbing an abrasive material across the panels in one direction same as a DeLorean.

Yeah that certainly reinforces a sense of longevity. Just rub off part of the door every time you have to clean it.

It’s sad that there’s nothing your can put on the metal, like something to paint on top of it or something. Like something clear, or in different colors even. Ah here I go again, being crazy with my imagination.

That’s what buffing does to paint as well, but it’s not something you do when you need to clean it (whether paint or stainless), it’s something you do to repair cosmetic damage.

Imagine spending 80K on a truck that starts rusting in days. Oh the poor Elon Musk’s s***ers. It might be a really hard blow to feel that betrayed by their idol.

This cybertruck fiasco is getting more ridiculous by the day.
