Looks like the Tesla Roadster is being officially unveiled.

Edit: It's a scam guys. If you find a YT vid sending this then report it ASAP. Apparently these scams are very widespread on these hijacked channels:

Thanks! God knows why they don’t put a link on the actual Tesla website.

I'd clean forgotten that I'm subscribed to their channel on YT so I received a notification. I suppose it's all part of Elon's little game

Now he's replaying the Cybertruck 2.0 launch - not enough customers maybe?

[Flumpo]

No idea what it’s supposed to be linking to. But for me that link is an AI mash up of him saying double your bitcoin instantly over and over and about risk free investment don’t miss out instant double returns. ??

[Rusty Old-Banger]

Yeah it's a hack/scam.

[Big Nanas]

And the right hand box 'Live commentary' is linking to a scam bitcoin/crypto giveaway.

Has the OP account been hacked? This is a scam!

Yes, and it's quite clearly AI as well.

THIS IS A SCAM. Op, why have you linked to this?

[Flumpo]

Thanks OP, I have sunk my entire life savings into this before realising it was a scam. That’s £6.73 I’m never getting back.

[BrownEaredDog]

What the fk? It's on Teslas official channel. I'll remove the link.

[interstellar]

Yep dodgy for sure !!!

[Big Nanas]

Quick work, OP, thanks.
Looks like Tesla's YouTube account has been hacked!

[BrownEaredDog]

Sorry guys. It started as a normal keynote, then I go back when I read your messages and this st is there.

I've reported it anyway. It's a scam channel, and one of the better ones. They used to have all the Tesla videos up there, and they've all been removed now - they've been working on this scam for ages, it seems.

I can only apologise guys, I had no clue.

There are 4 channels broadcasting the scam. One is from hacked 7NEWS Australia which has grown 1M subscribers as a result

[Wacky Racer]

Wonder how many suckers fell for that?

I must admit I thought about it, until I came to my senses

Damn. Did you report them? I've reported the one I posted.

I don't have any crypto stuff, but I'll bet that loads of his fanboys are kicking themselves now.

(I'm really hoping you're not serious here, Mister Flumpo)

Elon and Tesla get clicks so are a target. Sooo many scams are around. Accidentally click on something in Facebook and suddenly you will get hundreds of fake ads for Elon supported cryptocurrencies (which he has done in the past, but doesnt do now) to fake announcements of new products etc. I started reporting the ads on Facebook, but it hasnt even made a dent in the volume that I get!

I also get a ton of Tesla solar ads too - all of which are fake too (Tesla solar go direct but can use third parties for the install). In fact, just to double check, I did a Google search for Tesla solar and got a website that was completely NOT Tesla themselves!

I get it, they get clicks and people think / assume there is a link somehow. I just hate when bottom feeders like these use such crappy tactics. Now, lets wait until the 8th August to see what is announced from then, but expect to see a load of fake announcements just before, relying on the fact that a lot of people dont check the official sites.
