Just because you’ve adapted to the lies doesn’t make them ok, nor the best version of what is possible

Negative hype can kill a product that could have been good.

Positive false hype can deceive people into wasting money.

Sure, complete honesty would be ideal, but if you say “well it sucks right now but we promise it will be ok when you buy it”, not many people would rush to order one.

And they shouldn’t. It’s just another way of saying “people acting rationally based on truthful information”

Many good products never made it to market because of insufficiently good perception.

That should be a separate issue. It’s not the only available path, just one often taken because it’s the most forgiving of shoddy business practices, doesn’t justify its existence, either.

On the flip side, creating positive hype out of smoke and mirrors can be used to kill a competitor’s product for no good reason, so it’s not quite ok either.

I think people are starting to realize the depth of corporate deception and bad-faith practices and how that affects everyone at large, and so they’re rightly tired of them and trying to reset it all back to simple, effective, and fair ethical standards.

they also might be mediocre, or much worse. Given Tesla’s record of bad/rushed design and manufacturing processes (see: bad panel alignment; bad chassis engineering; janky bandaid fixes like random hardware store supplies making it into their cars; failed and costly manufacturing automation mistakes; etc.),

And Musk’s record of using the same trick of dangling a new gimmick to fix cash flow over and over (make wild new promise to create hype, while not delivering on the old ones, see: hyperloop, full self-driving feature, etc)

And how he’s been steadily going off the deep end for years (gestures generally)

I don’t really have hope that this isn’t the ludicrous gimmick it stinks of.

This is also true. More similar doesn’t mean very similar, though (saying this for op)

What doesn’t, everything is different. The people/culture, nature scenery, weather, things to do, typical architecture style, politics, et cetera.

On the entire cybertruck

There’s aesthetic differences stemming from simple original taste, then there’s differences stemming from being on the challenged side of the bell curve. Like smearing poop on a wall and trying to call it art.

Nice straw-man example at the end, there.

braid it. Or buy her a very tiny jar of hair gel, labeled for her body parts.

I really can’t fathom anyone seriously thinking this is good aesthetically without assuming they have a serious bias affecting their judgement in form of payment, cognitive deficiency, misplaced Musk sympathy, or otherwise.

Other auto makers are doing just fine with their designs overall, we don’t need to include children’s scribbles of a car when talking about where car designs should be headed.

Because he’s racing and pacing and fuming on X

He’s fighting and biting and really bad at sex

He’s going the distance, he’s smoking some weed

His pillow wife (pillow-wife) is all he neeeeds

…

No trophy, no flowers, no flashbulb, no spine

He’s haunted by decisions he cannot untwine

Bank-account shaking earthquakes of APRs and remorse

Assail him, impale him with cybertruck force

…

In his mind he’s still driving, still dunking on libs

She’s hoping in time that her memories will fade

'Cause he’s wasting his paycheck on onlyfans whores

He’s fighting, promoting, defending Musk of course

Pointing, and laughing and cringing inside

The green light flashes, the jig is up

Buyers. Remorse. A divorce creeping up.

That’s what our impulses tell us to do, but you’re not obligated to listen to every impulse. The complexity of life as we experience it affords us the luxury of choice.

Yeah, without a disclaimer and evidence it’s modeled correctly it’s just straight misinformation at this point.

I hope they get pulled from the road. Problem is, he’ll just bribe some government officials
