I post them because they're the crack in the dam. Tesla seems like it's on really shaky ground financially and with its future product lineup. The potential ramifications if it goes under are massive, both for Musk and for the EV sector. Cybertruck failing so fast so many times in so many ways is indicative of how shoddy their assembly lines are now and it creates a mounting crisis for them that I don't think they'll be able to solve. All the while these things are driving on public roads so it's a legitimate unique public safety hazard on roads full of big trucks and SUVs.
It's the additional layer of serf brain which makes them interesting to me. Outside of pyramid schemes, I've never seen such devotion to such a bad product. NFTs for all their faults still displayed the jpeg you bought a URL to. Those goobers had something to latch onto. With Cybertruck you have this collection of arch-goobers who have paid $100k for a truck you couldn't give me if it worked perfectly. They've bought an emotional support truck to finally get back at all the bullies who called them a nerd in school only for the entire internet to bully them for buying such a shitty truck. Random children on the sidewalk bully them. The worst tech demon can't go to a climbing gym without knowing someone is taking the time to spit on all four windows with the shitty security system filming none of it. They're pleading with the CEO on twitter because the only mechanics they can go to don't know how to fix their truck and he isn't listening. The psychosocial dynamics of this whole thing are so fascinating and profane, like late stage everything. It's the grand culmination of all the tech spectacles of the past decade to the point that when someone writes about the great tech crash of the 2020s it should be on the cover of the book. Something bigger is coming from it and these posts are the earliest warnings that the problem is getting worse.
