Imagine buying the fastest accelerating car on the market and being shocked when you rip through tires after endlessly flooring it

[egs]

Rich guy complains that his expensive car depreciated too fast and the tires were out with a 1000hp powertrain😂

"On the way to race at thermal club..." 10 seconds later. "I don't race this car..." Stop the bullshit

[Kingflippynipps]

IT nerds describing factory camber is hilarious

[HeavenGuy]

Here is the title of the video where he lowered the car: I SLAMMED MY TESLA PLAID SO LOW IT'S DANGEROUS!

[Theguyintheplacewiththething]

I slammed my car on links with no adjustable camber arms and have no clue why im eating up tires 🤦‍♂️ They should recall you.

"i just went to a race and my tyre started to lose air rapidly but yeah I don't race my car"

[ZachAsaD]

lol at your “my new cybertruck” videos on your profile after watching this 😂

I had to replace the OEM 21 inch tires every 5k miles as well. I downgraded to the 19 inch rims and tires and the inner tire wear problem gone. The 19 inch tires now last more than 20k miles. Unlike the previous 21 inch wheels, which were a staggered configuration, the new 19 inch tires are square configuration so I can rotate them and make them last even longer.

What you describe about waiting 1-2 years for the price to drop is EXACTLY what Tesla wants you to do. At the beginning of production they can’t make that many so production costs are high but demand is high so they can charge whatever they want. Eventually, production increases, economy of scale takes over, margins improve, demand slows, so price drops. Moral is if you want to be the first to own a new Tesla model, be prepared to stomach insane depreciation because they price cars based purely on supply and demand.

Surprised a knowledgeable car guy didn’t realize he bought at the highest dealer markup era in modern history due to the supply issues at the time … all the dealerships from every car maker were jacking up their prices… now they can’t give them away

[jeffhunt]

Elon was talking resale on cyber truck at 39k 😂

[alx]

In 2021 many cars were going for well over MSRP as dealers added 30%-50% for high demand vehicles. You aren’t comparing unseen dealer markup during that period.

[brightmangroup]

this MO is literally in Tesla's master plan/mission statement. Early adopters fund the price drops for the mass market. This is why i can now finally afford a Tesla, so thank you for your service to the greater good

[CharlesBurnsPrime]

Does the camber issue remain today? Does the issue apply only to the 19" Tempest wheels? Some online forums claim the issue applies only to the 21" wheels, but they provide no evidence, and camber settings don't care about wheels, right?

[pretread]

Use OEM tires and rims and get your alignment set by Tesla and maintain air pressure as mentioned by manufacture

[luke-guitarist]

Also, my philosophy is never buy a new car no matter the company… I should clarify… the amount of depreciation would be similar to a used one (of course there are exceptions). I am not saying everyone should buy a used car instead of new, all I am saying is that in my experience, buy a used car (if the odometer is less than 90, 000 miles) can save lots of money… but whatever you do, make sure the used or new car isn’t a lemon

[gnosis]

I think for Tesla cars it makes more sense to lease. That way you're not stuck with a huge loan in the event of a sudden price drop and can upgrade every few years to the latest model!

[dxmdimz]

Imagine you have this kind of experience with this company and still went ahead to pre-order the first-generation cyber truck. Honestly, as normal sane person, my first thought is either i don't believe his true frustration with his current car experience or this guy is so freaking rich and insane.

[diegoolivarez]

Imagine agreeing to buy a car, then being angry that someone else won’t pay off your loan.
