Summary
Tesla is struggling to sell its Cybertruck, even after applying discounts of up to $6,000. Inventories are piling up in the U.S. and Canada, with demand falling short of expectations.
The 2025 model qualifies for a $7,500 tax credit, but the 2024 model—still in stock—does not. There are also concerns that the tax credit may soon be eliminated.
Tesla’s goal of producing 250,000 Cybertrucks annually seems unrealistic, and analysts suggest a cheaper single-motor version may be needed to stimulate demand.
The Cybertruck’s hype appears to be fading.
Because they are ugly, bad at doing things trucks do and made by a Nazi piece of shit.
They’re also bad at doing things a car does.
Oh and they might kill grandma.
And break your fingers.
And accelerate uncontrollably.
Cars do that.
If they’re made by ketamine addicted toddlers.
good, you couldn’t pay me to drive one of these monstrosities that scream “my personality is the color Florida”
Congratulations, Elon. You’ve made John DeLorean look wildly successful.
At first I thought this was a Tim Apple joke but that’s his actual name lol
What an amazing time to be a BMW driver. No longer are you short penis’d douchebags the biggest assholes on the road. Congrats you shitheads, and relish in running red lights while people are trying to turn left.
The right doesn’t want an ev and the left doesn’t want a car sold by a nazi. The cybertruck doesn’t have mass market appeal as a result. Sure the technofascists love them but you shouldn’t mass produce something when your target customer is Caroline Ellison of all people
Not to mention it’s the very epitome of ugly. Having more in common with a dumpster than a vehicle.
The worst part is its the most offensive kind of ugly: the kind where it could’ve not been, but also very ugly.
Yeah, exactly. Musk has totally burned his market. Maybe he doesn’t care now he’s got power. I do feel sorry for the people who bought a Tesla a few years ago because they wanted to reduce their environmental impact and who are now stuck with a car that has a powerful nazi association. I wonder if there’s a spike in people trying to sell them.
Driving them can cause them to catch fire.
Gathering dust could also cause them to catch fire.
I guess better to just avoid the whole situation.
It’s ugly, it’s heavy, it’s completely impractical, it’s associated with a petty tyrant.
Nobody wants it.
It also has terrible build quality, is almost double the price they said it would be, & does zero things better than any of its competitors. Crazy to think that anyone would prefer to purchase something (or you know, literally anything) other than a cybertruck
Yep. Tons of recalls and it doesn’t help people get locked in them and die thanks to fires or other causes.
I like your positive outlook on life. It is a solid silver lining that fewer people will die needlessly, specifically BECAUSE Elon is one of the worst people alive AND a moron causing less people to own one.
I mean Musk has done a wonderful job of BEING the brand and then tanking the brand. It’s a publicly traded company and his actions do not appear to be beneficial to the company. I wonder how much stock holder value gets eroded before share holders revolt.
Edit: They’re starting to complain it seems
Hmm I wonder why no one wants to buy a nazi car
I remember when he got everyone excited about them it was supposed to be this affordable thing. I think it was 25k for a base model? Now they’re how much? And how poorly designed?
Good thing he got a government job, I don’t think he was cut out for the private sector…
When they were $25k and had impervious window they seemed like a reasonable albeit silly looking electric vehicle for work. Now… Not so much.
100k for this monstrosity.
I hear Molotovs are great at cleaning dust. Help out your local dealership if you can.
Theoretically the contents of these lots would be insured, so if there was a sudden unexpected fire that happened to destroy all the cars Tesla gets a cash payout, unlike if they just sit there where Tesla has to take the cashflow hit of having paid to build cars that noone will buy
Water balloons filled with saltwater somehow pop into mind…
Does it come with saluting arms instead of indicators?
That’s what the single giant windshield wiper is for
Good. Fuck Elon.
Good, I hope all the swasti-trucks rot at the dealerships.
Tesla does direct sales. No dealerships.
I’ve never bothered to care.
Only Tesla thing I’ll buy is puts.
