Nobody wants that ugly overpriced truck
China passed Tesla in its ev exports but wow what a way to let employees know - unacceptable
I like the truck. Not Elon.
I do so do many many others
Do you remember that General Motors car or truck that was Square they called it the thing
@@KingTemplarDragonI like Elon but I don’t like the wannabe truck
That’s why they don’t want a union
UNIONS = Corrupt.
Exactly
If they got a union
Ciber truck will cost 200 thousand bucks.
It's called business. This is wartime and inflation time. Sucks, but you have to do it
Why companies relocate to States in the South. They're great with example no state tax but the flip side like Texas is a right to work State. So they can close up shop with little or no notice.
But I thought cybertrucks were selling like hot cakes 🤣🤣😂😂 doesn’t everyone have $100k to blow on a truck 😂😂
Yeah, China passed Tesla a couple of months ago in its ev exports
I have 20 cyber trucks lol
lets be real, almost all trucks now are 6 figures....
@@coreytrevor3910 yeah I would definitely agree with that like I would love a truck, but gas prices are ridiculous
@@coreytrevor3910 no, 1500's are between $50,000 and 80-90,000. But good ones can be had in the upper 50's or lower 60's. Crazy prices for sure but not $100,000. Those are rare and really luxury trucks for show.
Good luck finding a job that pays you enough to afford the rent or mortgage in Austin thanks to Tesla 😂❤
Austin is a blue city, so expect it to have blue city problems.
@@midcenturymodern9330 I’m living in Austin for over twenty years now and it’s always been a little crazy but lately it’s become looney town lol
@@midcenturymodern9330 Austin is a super red city.
I don't drive Tesla and I will never wil... I don't even want to hear about it...
Why comment?
yet here you are......
And you saying that you won’t doesn’t do anything. You’re here commenting
why you watch video and make comment
yet you are here
This is why Sweden is pushing tesla to get into union !!! Now you know the importance of that !
Union members are also laid off. I worked at a GM plant, in Michigan and was a member of the UAW , yet experienced several layoff, until I was permanently discharged. Eventually GM closed every plant in the city.
oh please - unions are a disgrace. These workers deserve ZERO. its a free market. Don't like it, move to another country.
These workers were the lowest 10% when it comes to performance. Nothing wrong with getting rid of low performers.
i hate when companies treat their own employees like criminals. our society is sick.
I'm one of them. No notice or anything, overnight email terminated same day. I loved working as a technician at Tesla. I learned more and more every day, and I was doing great. Everyone I worked with was amazing. Also we had to fly technicians in to help us because we have to many cars to the amount of technicians. This doesn't make sense to me.
My managers told me to re-apply.
I already filed for unemployment same day because I have obligations, good thing I already have an interview lined up.
Man Tesla needs techs???? Why are you getting rid of techs?
Be honest, did you see good decisions being made there on a day to day basis?
They will call you back pls don't fret it just take a sabbatical present like millions ahead of you over this Bidenomics Fascism for 3+ years..
The problem with Biden admin is they trusted the Big Guys and ridiculed the hard working small business owners just to buy their crony Pharma jabs and that's it
Like I said before employees and a big company or just numbers, they do not care about you your family your problems
You’re just a number
@@armanhadi777 working at a service center in Santa Clara California I did. Great team, management did a great job locally, and 99.5% of customers were great as well to talk to and help at their homes. I worked repairing and maintaining the current customer base.
Obviously our economy is taking a turn so less new things in general are purchased with increased struggle as a whole. I just don't understand all the efforts put into investing in training me and making me good at my job. Seems like the time and investment was already made to make me optimal. They currently need more techs, so personally I don't understand the reasoning. The current customer base already exists, and cars need to be repaired. I'm sure they will hire more and train them. Tesla is a good company with amazing products, that I fully support.
I'm just bummed not to be involved now. I also made investments to continue growth within the company.
Don't get me wrong, I believe in the company. I love cars and the tech skills involved with the vehicles.
I only can talk about a smaller local portion to my community.
They did end up sending me a severance package for 2 months of pay, and medical coverage. My management said they would like to have me back as well.
Overall there must have been reasons beyond my understanding.
I already found another job opportunity so ehh life goes on.
That’s exactly why I DONT believe in giving any notice to employers
I’m trying to understand your reasoning, please explain.
@@Polemic-2525 Because they don't give their employees any notice.
I'm with you. The previous employer was such an a hole. I was so pissed off that I quit. I did it on Saturday so that gave them 2 days to find replacement 😂 For the record, the employer planned on cutting my hours to 4 just so I quit on my own but then changed mind since other employees were fired.
@@Polemic-2525 These people are Millennials and GenZr’s. They walk in the wrong side of the sidewalk, they believe what they hear, don’t read or investigate and a dog that wags it’s tail has more manners than they possess.
What do you expect? Their parents didn’t hold them to their grandparent’s standards.
The reason you can't give land off workers notice is very simple. SABOTAGE ! Disgruntled employees would destroy the company .
I thought the cybertuck was just a publicity joke. Like a test product . Did they actually sink their company money into large scale expense of that thing?
Cybertruck , is already PROFITABLE.
The fact that Tesla warns people not to drive it in the rain due to rust does make it a joke.
@@markplott4820 it looks cool, I’ve seen a few in my area, but I figured it was like a collector thing.
ya'll some ignorant remedial muppets when it comes to EV's.. Believing anything you hear about EVs and taking it as gospel. shame
Not "they". Elon. He does this crap with every business he starts.
Autism and Ketamine addiction do not a rational CEO make.
My paid of nissan altima 2012 has 183,000 miles on it. Still runs good. "so far"... I would never buy an EV....
I won't ever buy a new car period!
I never buy a new car.I have jeep cheroke.1996.4.0.overhault,cuttlas supreme 103 000 miles,brand new paint and Lancer 2011.with.300 000.miles.brand new motor. Am 63. I do need buy a electric car..
A butt ugly truck might have something to do with lower sales?
Cybertruck , outsold RIVIAN, Silverado EV and Lightning.
@@markplott4820 yea so, it’s still a piece of ugly crap.
@@markplott4820Either stop drinking or stop lying. Both are unnecessary unless you're Elon or a bot.
That Cyberthing has tainted the brand. I used to like Tesla.
@@davidr208 yup same here, but my dislike of Tesla goes way bad to when I heard how he stole the company from the Orginal owner/inventor and how Elon has ruined Twitter (in the name of free speech. lol) and played politics in the Ukraine siding with Russia on turning off starlink to the Ukraine.
Tesla just got too big too fast. They were acting like everyone on earth wanted their cars and that crazy Truck thing. Some people still might want them, but those people can not afford them.
Bud the economy is crumbling. Bidenomics is destroying America intentionally.
Actually, China passed Tesla in ev exports just a couple of months ago. Musk needs to concentrate on Tesla instead of X
A lot of people are gonna remember those employees getting laid off at May. Just boycott Tesla.
@@charlesbroderick5030 so you want even more Tesla employees laid off?
@@rbfarrell1 no your right.. just sucks for those people and everyone is struggling in this Biden economy
Plenty construction jobs out there.
one door closed
Another open.
You know the people at Tesla can’t handle the construction jobs! 😂
@@luckyduck2022 👍
After Consumer Reports showed that hybrids are far more reliable than pure EVs and the 2024 Green Car of the year is the Toyota Prius Prime, a plug-in hybrid, the EV market has collapsed. Today, everyone wants hybrids and PHEVs, which are more environmentally friendly than Teslas, cheaper, and more reliable. That's why all the Toyota dealers are sold out of these cars and Tesla is holding a fire sale to get rid of inventory. It doesn't help that nearly all EV buyers are politically liberal and Musk has gone full maga.
Only bots buy EVs. IQ < 60.
MAGA = common sense?
TOYOTA sells the LEST BEV in the World.
Tesla model Y #1 in CAR sales.
I’ve got a 2010 Prius and love it. 130,000 miles on it and the only thing I’ve done is tires, oil changes and one set of brakes. All at 50 mpg. Hybrids are the way to go when done right.
@@hammer-r - BEV , you never change OIL, Sparkplugs, or BRAKES.
BEV are LOWEST cost per mile Vehicles.
How does a news station upload a video in 720p in 2024?
I think TH-cam is slowly starting to nerf quality so that they can put it all behind yet another paywall
they Dont have Starlink.
you seem to have a whole other concern altogether
This should be standard. Most people watching news online just want the content to play/buffer properly. 720p ensures that.
That's crazy because they aren't even finished building the rest of the factory 🤦🏿
I found out while on vacation!!! I checked my email randomly and I was locked out!!! I called my boss because my teams wasn’t working either and they fired my boss too!
Sorry to hear that. I hope you and your team find a better job than Tesla.
This is brutal. No one is protecting the workers now. They can were layed off just like that like a piece of paper thrown into the garbage bin.
The most inhuman company in the world. Run by delusional meme master.
All companies are the same. They don’t give advanced notice. Tesla is no different. Don’t like Tesla, you don’t have to work there.
@@sz5263 Thanks for the great advice 👍
I don't know, 60 days pay plus a severance sounds pretty human to me.
This is a weird comment. I have been laid off several times, and I have never gotten a deal as good as they got. Tesla sounds like a great company to get laid off from...lol
go live in GAZA.
LOL...well i got mine this morning, ...hit the gate badge not working no notice whatsoever, no email, no call, no text....apparently its standard operating procedure at Tesla, to lay people off this way ....
That’s how they usually lay you off.
I have experienced it first hand in the 90s 🤷🏼♂️
I bet it was nice experience! My ancestors had to fight for food with stones and sticks, so let's continue doing that?
Sometimes I wonder... do ppl have no concept of progress? Do you ask questions? Let's think for a sec, why Elmo was fighting against unions?
spoiler: If something like that happened to ~40k unionized workers Elmo would've been bankrupt on the spot.
Also he promised that workers would receive portion of the stocks after x days/years working and a lot of these workers would not see these money because they "left" too soon.
@inarisound This. Elon is disgusting and so are all the souless pricks in here saying this kind of behavior is fine. Those weren't layoffs. They were terminations called layoffs for media spin.
Auto industry since 1903. Layoffs happen. Get used to it.
Yep. And currently Tesla is not alone. Major layoffs were announced a few months ago by GM and Stellantis. But that was rarely covered by our national propaganda media. Musk? Oh boy, what a horrible man and bad company laying off people! 🙄
This is the great employees relationship that makes a union unnecessary as Elon said just 10 days ago!
I wish Elmo taste his own medicine.
Billionaires never get a taste of their own medicine, or consequences for their actions. That's one of their perks for being wealthy.
He can afford almas caviar, mansions, etc... for many lifetimes, while our so called "representatives" explain to us that "trickle down economics" is good.
@@gedeo Lookup "list of billionaires that went broke"... I see Elmo same as Elizabeth Holmes, everything and anything for the profit margins... he will go down as some point... but it would be nice to see it sooner then later
@@inarisound14? out of 2,700? The system is rigged to favor them!
But yes, it would be nice.
@@gedeo I agree, it's not enough... most were bailed out, but still, play stupid games, win stupid prizes. That is exactly what Elmo was doing with Tesla, Twitter and other companies that everyone somehow forgot about...
@@gedeoall it takes is a few bad decisions over a couple years and all that billionaire money becomes nothing but useless paper with no value. When that happens we're all poor and it becomes survival of the fittest.
Seldom are layoffs "out of the blue" .
Yep, Tesla would have known for quite a while that they were going to fire a whole bunch of the workforce. It’s just the employees that weren’t told beforehand.
It’s like when a chick ends up leaving a dude. The clueless guy thinks his girl broke up with him “out of the blue”, yet most of the time the girl got all her ducks in a row and was preparing and laying the groundwork for the breakup a long time in advance, only pulling the trigger when she was good and ready!
@@jermaineayivoh8263 Perfect comparison.❤
@@thebastardgift Cheers mate.
Don’t even have the decency to give these people face to face terminations..instead you lock them out..cruel
I agree.
There is no more job security, there is only I-security.
goes both ways -- worker leave firms every day. Telsa rocks! dropped their lowest performers
That truck is the ugliest thing I have ever seen on 4 wheels.
but it rusts!
Its creepy.
They didn't even need to give notice if they didn't want to😂
Cant give a notice when laying off employees. Disgruntled employees would sabotage the company.
@@MR-xc3sw Maybe they should.
@@dr.emilyacevedo812 that would hurt everyone still employed so very selfish idea. But that is exactly why companies can not give notice.
Elon being Elon. Twitter down the drain and now the Cyber truck not being what was promised. Ten percent laid off this week, ten percent more in a month and so on. Kinda like X.
The Big Three have collectively laid off over 5,000 since the UAW contract was signed late 2023. More will come. Will you have the same outrage? Or do you selectively feign outrage based on bias and inaccurate information?
The stock is way down too.
"a heads up would have been nice" - Not saying it doesn't suck to get laid off, but they are literally giving you 60 days of free pay PLUS a severance. They essentially just cut off your email and told you not to come into work but you're still on payroll for two months. Not sure what more of a "heads up" they could give you than that.
Gotta be a victim today, remember?
Because it's not going to be a lay-off. Tesla is going UNDER. BIG TIME. EVERYONE here in Texas knows it!
@@sparkysmom7149 lol well that's simply not true. Tesla might fail on some products but a lot of their tech has uses in way more than EVs. Gotta stop buying into the TX oil moguls' BS. It's all a con on both sides to trick people into buying and selling stock.
Facts. Severance for line workers at Tesla were at the same level as engineers at Google and other orgs (relatively speaking)… also in a low regulation state. Doesn’t feel great but they’ll land on their feet.
LOL
Great Resignation
Did he mention TWO MONTHS of pay for no work?
Did he mention NO MONEY that were promised in stocks by Elmo?
@inarisound that's why it's important to read what you sign
That severance doesn't offset what Tesla is saving by not letting their employees keep any of their stocks that aren't vested and that takes years. It's part of the sign-on "bonus" employees are lured in with. Tesla doesn't do anything in good faith and Elon is going to regret laying off all those trained employees. I hope the damn company folds. It's everything that's wrong in American big business right now. You don't pull the rug out from under people.
@@bflkurby1 When they were hired it was promised that significant portion of their income would come from stocks that they would get after 'x' amount of years/months of work... I grantee ppl who were hired on these position could "read what they sign" better than you and me. These people lost their jobs involuntarily.
@@inarisound why you hates so much elon musk ? Do you know the only car maker that in the usa really do it in the usa and sell in usa is the tesla ?😅
The layoffs was waaaaaay more than that lol
Ugliest truck ever.
It looks like something in a Robo Cop movie.
Totally agree
It looks like something a 4-year old would design after he accidentally overdosed on the cough syrup. Fugly!
They did it here in Georgia also...SEVERAL LAYOFFS at multiple locations. 14-15 people laid off at my location. Sad..but theres more to it.
They fired 2,700 employees and they also decided to pay 1 employee about 53B what a way to save cost.
But that's not all, the stock price went up by 10% after the news of firing. That means that many people/investors are happy when a lot of employees are getting fired.
And I am sure that Ford, GM or what used to be Chrysler NEVER had lay-offs.........
Amazon does the same thing, This is One of the biggest reasons why they won’t unionize
wow, what a way to get a notice- 3am email-big problem in this country with this kind of treatment
Boost them earnings
I am so angry that I refuse to buy any of their cars. I was planning to place an order the end of this month but not anymore. I do not agree in letting these people without any prior notice. I didn't agree with what people have been saying about Tesla but I do now. Most these people have families, a mortgage, bills, school tuition, and countless other things that depended on their job. Now they have nothing and have to quickly get a job, any job. Not cool.
You don't want recently disgruntled employees putting vehicles together, and coming into the office.
thats called lack of trust of employees, not too good a thing
Even if that is true, a 3am email is unacceptable
If you don’t want disgruntled employees, don’t try fast ones
When I got laid off of my graphic design job at a big manufacturing company, I was notified with no warning of being laid off. I was asked to come into my supervisor office and got the bad news. Signed some paperwork and given a box to pack up my personal things from my desk and told I would be watched on camera while I did this. That’s it. So impersonal. That’s just how it’s done.
Thanks for this viseo
Unfortunately, this is how lay off work. Big companies do it not just Tesla.
Wow not a company I EVER want to work for Not cool Tesla
WE heard of our closures on the 6 o'clock news. SURPRISE
Don't worry your company will go through the same thing. 😂😂😂😂👍
Layoff aka fired. You haven't been laid off. You're non-essential. You're no longer needed and you've been terminated. And I'm an old guy. When I got kicked to the curb at age 55, I got no notice. Just a call to come to the office at a certain time. They read from a legally prepared document, which took about 60 seconds and 2 minutes later, I was out the door. So, get over your absurd expectations that you will get or deserve special treatment, so your feelings aren't hurt. They don't care about your feelings, and they don't care how you're going to pay your bills. That's on you.
Hey Tesla watch your 6😂😂😂😂
DONT work for companies or gov!!! Small business and self employed. Also contractor work
Never work hard for others.
Heartless individual!! His bank acc is full!
One word. Unionize
This isn’t a surprise?
I am sorry for the employees.
They sent an email. So warm & fuzzy, Musk!
This is why i hate to work for someone,because you don't know what they are thinking, self employment is the way to go for me, am so sorry for guys especially my fellow men , because we need to pay bills we need to take our children to school we need to put food on the table, but some someone just wakes up one morning and he does the unthinkable this is not right this is not fair please don't treat people like this.
layoffs will keep growing throughout the usa things will not get better
Instead of email... Elon should come to his house and handover the letter to him personally.
Just in time for earnings season!
Tesla is the best car company ever! No gas stations, No oil changes, No smog check, No corrupt dealership, No catalytic converter and as fast as a $650,000 Lamborghini
Wow, that's a really harsh way to get laid off.
Oh no
So truth! Another axiom, nothing good can last forever.
He's hiring people to sleep in his cyber truck beds
The mega I'll computerize your crash car. 😂
This is normal for Tesla. They always lay off and will rehire. This is their hiring pattern
This Tesla truck sooooooo ugly
And companies wonder why many employees don’t give a crap when they are treated like this!
That's what that "at will" employment clause in your offer letter you signed before coming onboard
That is horrible, no notice.
There is a very good reason for not giving a notice when laying off workers .
@MR-xc3sw they could announce a laid-off qith co
Company. So workers could be prepared. If it is just one individual, then maybe giving a notice is not a good idea.
Who do you work for??
Guessing that nobody is buying the stupid looking truck. 😂
actually, PD are considering it.
Based on the "employees" interviewed, sounds like Tesla did the right thing.
I got to work before seeing the email.
I always check my email before as I get ready for work. Its good practice.
@@dr.emilyacevedo812 I don't ever have time. I would have 10 minutes to get ready and be out the door
Lol now they can't blame the company for overspending on giving percs to lazy employees, just the economy and maybe people thinking twice before buying this car and how expensive it is to fix. Is Space x profitable?
Cybertruck was a mistake and is tanking the whole brand. Who wants to be associated with that " thing" on wheels.
Ugliest car ever made. The Pontiac Aztek and Buick Rendezvous personally thank him for stealing that status.
wait hauler deliveries!!?!!!
Typical auto industry stuff, no matter what era.
Workers rights..
This happened to me. It’s shocking and really crappy lol
glad they finally canned an exec. those clowns think they're untouchable
If you were going to buy a new vehicle, would you want an employee who is disgruntled about receiving notice of his/her pending layoff continuing to come to work and assembling the vehicle you will be driving in the future? While i feel sad for the abruptly laid off employees, the safety of myself and my family who would be riding in the vehicle comes first.
I would say boycott Tesla but in all actually Elon is doing a fine job of boycotting Tesla himself.
Good. Fire all those overpaid union thugs. Now they have to get a REAL job like the rest of us!
He had a panic attack 😂 I worked at GM for 34 years been their done that got layed off when i started working their suck it up thats life 😁😁
CEO need an email lay off.
There is probably a lot more to come. Most people can't afford tesla
that's what happens when there's no union contract.
Can I get one of the laid off employees to help fix my X at a discount? Literally hit 80K and everything is breaking down. Windows won't go down, seats won't go back. Right as my extended warrant is now gone.
The world is done........
That’s why I would not work for any of these companies…unless I would have a 50% markup to ensure I would have a savings account to last for several years….its not worth working for them
as it should be ... Texas is a right to work state -- they employees were the lower 10% when it comes to performance.
Grow up kids -- a little dose of the free market.
Wow, they can just turn on and turn off employee's. Just think what the future brings for the rest of us?
Bet the CEOs still get a fat paycheck.
maybe but they finally fired an executive this time, usually nothing happens to them despite these problems being their fault
@@michelep9477no. He stepped down
These companies have absolute no loyalty. So employees should reciprocate no loyalty to any company...the richest man on earth couldn't take a salary hit to keep his employees even though he already made trillion dollars...lmao we are living in a simulation. As a 43 man who has worked since he was 14. Have my own business and now i fi d myself rooting for the scammers...even though i well off...im still self aware enough to know the government and companies are preying on the hard working man. So stop working and start scamming
Here come that market crash
Layoffs happen oh well been laid off at least 5x in my life all big companies go thru it
High class all the way 😢
Electric cars are just too expensive, this was bound to happen in a recession folks.
