Before anyone thinks this is actually real, it’s not.

[–] [email protected] 101 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I assumed, but still found it funny.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 month ago

I was hoping it was real.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Too bad, I would expect them to hurry it through and skimping on the QA.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

That sounds more realistic, but fortnite isn't a realistic game. Put it in GT7 and let it do one lap and die. That's realism.

Aww. I was wondering whether it is a case of malicious compliance from the developers.

I’ve seen them on the street!

But, but ,but ,but... It's on the internets! You mean someone would just make up stuff and lie on the internets????

"Reminder that 1) Voting with your wallet works and sentiment on social media is a tangible factor," Fortnite Festival producer Kyle Wynn wrote. "2) Companies are composed of lots of different people with their own unique opinions. 3) That truck looks fucking silly and the CEO of that company is a piece of shit."

"Even bad publicity is good publicity". People ought to remember this, and simply STFU about the people in the world that really dont deserve a spotlight.

I think Tesla floundering so much right in the middle of the EV boom is proof that there is such a thing as bad publicity

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I thinks it's because bad publicity does help a brand get recognition, that's why the saying goes like that. The thing with telsa is that it already has the recognition so with every other article that comes out exposing yet another flaw with them, ever more people associate the brand with bad quality

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I wonder if it would act as pro-Tesla or anti-Tesla to show a list of all the problems with Teslas and their current status.

People shopping for an EV aren't going to like the idea of steering wheels coming off or trim flying off at highway speeds.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (2 children)

EV or not, people don’t want to buy unsafe vehicles, period. Any brand synonymous with poor quality dies

I mean, the Ford Pinto didn't kill Ford, but Ford also had decades of company history at that point.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Ford will take a while to die, they’ve always stockpiled a lot of rainy day cash to weather out bad spells. As you’ve said they had plenty of successful decades and successful cars. They even had successful cars at the same time as the pinto so it wasn’t really a problem

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Fiat is still around.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Right. So would it be helpful or harmful to their sales to have a list where one of the items read like:

“Steering wheel comes off: fixed”

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Or being locked out of a vehicle with 11 miles on it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

There's also the little detail that this is completely fake.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

even fortnite cybertruck sucks

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Stop eating onions.

Scroll to your heart's content, you won't find the tweet.

Wow. Much fail.

The funny part is that the one that's in GTA V works just fine lol
