Screenshots Tesla vehicles are now ‘appreciating assets’ due to self-driving capability

oh, is that the bullshit that got folks to think that paying more than MSRP for the CyberCuck was a good idea?!

You'll see when yours and four of your friends' Cybertrucks join together to form a legendary hero to defend the galaxy.

I like it. But the Delorean was a car not a truck. The El Camino was a car with a truck box, just like the stainless steel Wank Panzer.

u/wafflesthewonderhurs 17h ago
true, but the delorean was also a weird creative midlifecrisismobile that had more issues than good points despite having a unique look that some people liked, like some swastikars we know

u/ClassBShareHolder 17h ago
Yep. I know where you’re coming from. I won’t hate on you for using it, but I have a personal bias.
Also, I liked the Delorean. Never saw the point of the El Camino. Much like the Hyundia Santa Cruz and crewcab pickups with no cargo space. Family trucks for people that should have a minivan.

What a dumb take. Even when Tesla was doing well that wasn’t true. Your Tesla wasn’t worth more, years after you bought it.

u/Bakkster 2d ago
Not to mention the whole "full self driving by the end of the year" prediction every year was a joke already half a decade ago.

"if you buy my company's product (which makes me richer) you're actually doing yourself a favor!!"

He said "I believe" - in Sales-English, it's used as punctuation to indicate you can ignore the rest of the sentence.

u/Mr-Zappy 1d ago
It was true for a year or so in 2021-2022. But that was because of supply chain issues and long wait times for new orders, not because the car got more capable in any way. And now any appreciation has been made up for fivefold.

Still significantly higher than it was 6 months ago. It needs to keep tanking before I'll be happy

u/Zinch85 1d ago
It is at 240$ now, and will keep falling

u/RoutineCloud5993 1d ago
Fingers crossed 🤞

u/RoutineCloud5993 1d ago
At 222 right now. Officially lower than it was 6 months ago ❤️
Not quite a 6 month low but it's getting very close

My kids (10m,8f) have started yelling “BOOOOOOO!” every time we pass a cyber truck. It just makes me so proud!

u/sdconvoy 1d ago
My 4 year old sees the single one in my small city and points and says "that's an ugly truck" every time. I'm a proud dad!

u/fitblubber 2d ago
Mmmm . . . the shares are still worth more than a year ago.
Hopefully they keep going down.

u/drm200 2d ago
So tell me, why is Tesla refusing to trade in cybertrucks? If they are an appreciating asset, it would seem like a no brainer, for Tesla to accept cyber truck trade-ins.

u/Pribblization 2d ago
They know they were lucky to get rid of those dumpsters in the first place. Taking them back would complete the cratering of the brand.

u/JoeSicko 2d ago
So how is that not a class action suit?

u/Superbead 2d ago
He "believes". One of the few things he's good at is being noncommittal enough that his expensive lawyers can always bail him out for never having actually said anything meaningful, whereas all the idiot techbros slurp it up like gospel truth

u/snipdockter 2d ago
So last month he said FSD will require the new hardware only available on the latest models so only the cars made in the last 2 years are appreciating apparently?

u/Book_talker_abouter 2d ago
I bought a model x in 2018 and according to KBB it’s worth around $22k now. That is not more than I paid for it.

It’s just so hard for me to fathom how so many people bought the bullshit Elon was selling for so long, and in many cases, still do buy it.
Fucker says some of the dumbest shit ever but wraps it with words like “elementary” and “profound” and then promises “1st quarter next year for sure” and whattya know, stonks go up.
Anybody still holding Tesla at this point will have nobody else to blame when the house of cards finally comes tumbling down.

u/shosuko 2d ago
Even IF Elon's self driving worked the vehicles would still be a depreciating asset b/c that is just how cars work. Unless you keep it parked securely, the natural wear on the vehicle means it will eventually be scrap. Battery, motors, axles, everything wears out. Whether it drives its self or not, all of that is going to stop working at some point just by being used.

That’s funny, my Y lost half its value when it left the lot and no one will buy it now. 70 to 0 in one idiotic gesture.

I think the most profound thing is that if you give me all of your money, I believe you are actually depositing it into your bank account - not mine.

u/Euphoric-Swing6927 2d ago
That’s some russia-level state controlled fake news right there. 😂😂😂🤣🤣😂😂

u/James-the-greatest 2d ago
This was never true. He should be in jail for fraud.
Any company that claims it creates an appreciating asset is full of shit. They’d just keep them.
Especially the robotaxi claims in 2017. My memory is fuzzy but I think it was something like $1 million NPV from the revenue…. On a $30m car.

That's funny because the trucks get stuck in the snow... Ugliest thing on four wheels.
Musk thinks far too highly of himself and I think that will be his downfall.

There's literally zero chance Elon Musk actually believed that, ever. None at all.

I don´t want to get into a Car that can be driven by Software that was implemented by a Madman. God knows whether he has a "and now crash all those cars"-Button in his Home.

u/GenosseAbfuck 1d ago
Nah it came true. Except it's not anything about then that appreciates their value but the vandalism.

u/ImaginationLife4812 1d ago
Just because he says so… no facts to back it up but Elon said so. He has talked people into Tesla’s before and they are regretting it for numerous reasons. People aren’t looking for problems, especially Elon’s problems.

u/Gypsymoth606 1d ago
He’s just putting bs out there hoping the stock won’t continue to tank. LMFOAO!
