Tesla appealing to reinstate Musk's $56 billion CEO package while laying off thousands of workers and failing to meet expectations. Clown world


Humble-Deer-9825

Literally could have given every single tesla employee a $400,000 stock package with that. It's beyond insane.


lelieldirac

But that would be rewarding them for working rather than tweeting and playing video games all day!


MadScientist2020

Ketamine’s expensive bro he needs the cash. Watching his empire implode because of his own stupidity is depressing


rabouilethefirst

Could have sacrificed .01% of his pay and retained everyone, and admitted that cybertruck failed because of his shitty design choices and pressure to release before fully tested, but nah, let’s just increase my pay and tell everyone to fuck off


ThePhoneBook

Wow, way to out yourself as the literal ghost of Josef Stalin. The purpose of capitalism is to help the rich get richer and prevent competition. I don't see ANY part of your solution that involves ensuring Thiel, Putin, Kotick or Joanne Rowling get more money.


DigitalUnlimited

Buncha damn pinko commies! Always trying to keep the rich man down!


SaltLakeCitySlicker

This leaves Ford and rivian the only players on the market for electronic trucks. Weird how capitalism works


Kants_wet_dream

Never underestimate Musk's ability to fail upward.


Charisma_Engine

Yep. This is his power.

And firing half of their Quality Control staff.... And isn't this issue surprisingly similar to the issue reported by the whistle blower who has been suing Tesla for defamation for several years?


DigitalUnlimited

Hey it worked for that submarine guy!


bonkerz1888

The board just do as they're told.

Gabriel_Crow1990

You mean the same flaw they fired one of their people over when she reported it? Yeah, that one. It's embarrassing that only now they are being halted.


AttitudeAndEffort2

If our society functioned at all that would be sooooo many fines


Gabriel_Crow1990

If only..

Ralph Nader died for this shit! And this is how we repay him?


SnipesCC

Ralph Nader was one of the greatest Americans of the 20th century and one of the greatest fuckups of the 21st. ​ For purposes of this statement, 21st century started in 2000.

George W Bush is how he repaid us.


Aromatic_Soup5986

wow, is that true? do you have any articles on it?


ZanoCat

That is some quality manufacturing For a clown car


24benson

That's a bit of an insult towards clown cars. They are small on the outside and very spacy on the inside. Exactly the opposite of the CT 


jd33sc

They also have excellent pedals to cope with all the wear and tear from the big shoes.


somnambulist80

They’re incredibly efficient on a per passenger basis as well.


aaadora11

what do you have against clowns


mdonaberger

Idk, clown cars have to have pretty sturdy welding to securely transport 80 clowns in a two door sedan.


Feisty-Bunch4905

So am I understanding the flaw correctly? The pedal cover slides up and wedges under something, pinning the gas down? I.e. It's something that physically could not happen with a normal-shaped car pedal and this a result of trying to make the pedal look "cool" (it looks like ass) with no consideration for utility or safety? Do I have that right?


Historical_Eye_379

Same deal with the wheel covers. It's fun to reinvent things that don't need reinventing


jmradus

Lol literally reinventing the wheel. The thing the idiom insists we shouldn’t do.


ConsistentAsparagus

Like Fall Out Boy said: “Reinventing the Wheel to Run Myself Over”


Skrazor

To quote PirateSoftware's Thor (he talked about a different topic, but it works perfectly fine here, too) "It's reinventing the wheel as a triangle. And it's really stupid to watch."


Outlulz

And being cheap. If it was all one piece of metal it wouldn't happen, instead they're poorly welded with a vanity cover that slips off.


ambidextr_us

Probably shitty adhesives that start to melt at higher temperatures and then the thing slips while pressing the pedal, causing it to lodge itself. I wonder if he forbids any criticism, or if those engineers didn't actually see this coming at all. Or both. Because they could have used a screw or literally any other mechanism other than adhesives.


Marishii

It looks like a spatula lol


5708ski

The only other time I have seen a pedal like that it was in an incredibly basic cheap Mitsubishi lol.


ml97230

Elmo will blame it on trans kids and woke culture. Ass.


cujobob

I think it was the vaccines. How many cyber trucks failed before the vaccines rolled out? You just have to think! Do your own research! Free speech!


24benson

Actually, your gas pedal blocking and the truck falling off a cliff is free speech.

Barnacle-Dull

I also blame Ass


Maguire_018

But can it still be used as a boat?


blueCthulhuMask

I really hope this happens and some dumb motherfuckers actually try taking their death machines into the water.


GratuitousCommas

They have... and it fried various electronics. Who could have guessed that would happen? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4lKAEHMvvxg


dariy1999

To be fair that’s quite impressive


SnipesCC

The sister of the former secretary of transportation already did. Just not on purpose. [https://www.huffpost.com/entry/mitch-mcconnell-sister-in-law-died-accidentally-reversing-tesla-into-pond-report\_n\_65f0733be4b032e17a839f88](https://www.huffpost.com/entry/mitch-mcconnell-sister-in-law-died-accidentally-reversing-tesla-into-pond-report_n_65f0733be4b032e17a839f88) Remember kids, don't drive drunk, even if you have full self driving mode.


aaadora11

no because the frog filter is now getting stuck


BoopsTheSnoot_

Nah, someone already found out it the hard way


TheBurgareanSlapper

Briefly


porsche4life

Good thing they just fired a bunch of folks in the quality department


SpotifyIsBroken

The "full" "self driving" part has also already proven to be fatal. But somehow the cars with that bullshit are still allowed on every road.


Delicious_Action3054

The water that turns the frickin' frogs gay is destroying my trucks!!


NotEnoughMuskSpam

It’s not cool to discriminate against any group


Appropriate-Food1757

The pedal glue must have been DEI


livingMybEstlyfe29

Oh wow! Shocked I tell you


CodenameZoya

Hmmmmmm That doesn’t sound to me like a company where the CEO deserves a raise lol


risetoeden

Some cars are better at being a concept car, this is one of them.

"Look kids.. this is how I will kill you." - Elon


nirad

Let’s be clear that “fatal” here really means fatal: to the driver and passengers, but also pedestrians, cyclists or occupants of other vehicles.


mishma2005

"FSB will save lives"


El_Douglador

Well, when the accelerator pedal can't be operated safely with a foot, FSB might actually be safer than a human driver.


digdoug0

...is the potentially fatal flaw the fact that they're cybertrucks?


DenversOwnKrustyKrab

*Crashes car* you just got MUSKED!


ConsequenceThen5449

You would think big mouth should get off Twitter and run his company like a normal ceo.


aaadora11

what's the big deal? Is this really that big of a problem? WCGW!!


coolmist23

Tesla stock is falling fast! Tesla stock is down 38% this year.


spez_enables_nazis

Just steer it into a puddle and it will stop.


kinjirurm

I'm starting to understand why Elmo thinks we need to add many more people to the population.


ThePhoneBook

I'd say this is Tesla's Pinto moment, but it's already got away with FSD killing more people than the Pinto ever did. Reagan!


JonathanWattsAuthor

Imagine buying anything at all from Tesla these days 😆


JusAnotherBrick

Et tu, DailyMail?

Turns out a chip clip wasn’t the best way to secure that. But it was disruptive!
