Cybertruck forums are now littered with “excited” new owners who discuss how pleased they still are to be stuck in a loop, treated horribly by Tesla in what appears to be a giant Advance Fee Fraud.

These Tesla victims would be in a much better place if they just reported to police they had been swindled into sending $100k to a fake African prince they met via email.

Without fraud there would be no Tesla.

…study attributes Tesla’s growing problems to a negative response from customers…

Notably, serious mental gymnastics are required of Tesla’s victims to remain loyal and dig deeper into their relationship with a fraud prince.

Really disappointed but I took delivery anyways. No regrets but not a good delivery experience.

Really disappointed. No regrets.

What does fraud look like? People are putting down $7,000 in advance fees, assuming $100,000 of paper debt (the vehicle is worthless), for the worst car in history that will regularly break down until they are abruptly killed.

Advance fee fraud.

Some even say the quiet part out loud.

It’s more important to Tesla to have the sale in Q2 than to make you happy.

As if customers feeling stuck under the rule of a fraud prince while being unsafe and unhappy is an actual business strategy? See also: why slave-based monarchy died.

Thank you. Thank you.
