Tesla can't find buyers for the current backlog of nearly 2,400, or $200 million worth of Cybertrucks, despite claiming over a million orders were received.
The whole internet seems happy about the “people” burning Teslas in protest. I am pretty sure they were all insured and given the terrible sales figures… please guess who is benefitting the most of that burning?
This comment has no logic… yes, maybe Tesla itself is not at a loss due to vandalism here but insurance companies would drop either Tesla (the company) as a client or deny insurance to people buying Swasticars which would make the sales slump into a sales halt
This is really bad for Tesla either way if you are willing to look 1 mm beyond
You are right, but there probably is a “safe” number of Teslas that can burn, before insurance companies drop Tesla (or increase insurance prices to make it unprofitable).
Insurance frauds, if not caught, tend to be profitable.
Edit: I just want to add that I do not have any personal experience with insurance frauds… It’s just my little conspiracy theory… I won’t respond anymore, must go and make my first tinfoil cap.
I mean Tesla. Just imagine, you have a lot of unsold cars and no hope that people will rush to buy them. If you lower the price, you will admit to shareholders that it’s not going well and maybe your company is not worth more than the next eight biggest car manufacturers combined… So you can’t lower the price, at least not enough to sell all those cars, they all take space, need some maintenance, slowly rust and lose value… Or they can just burn, and you can claim that it was all because of those far left terr… Right, someone mentioned that insurance doesn’t cover terrorism, so it’s all because of those damn leftist hooligans. You would probably sold all of them, but they were destroyed. Pinky promise.
So you think the story “we can’t sell cars because half burn in the dealer and the other half won’t be touch by people in fear” is actually going to go well with shareholders?
Your car insurance doesn’t cover terrorism but I’d be surprised if a car dealership or Tesla have that same clause. You are very unlikely to be the victim of a terrorist but because Tesla is a big company their insurance provider probably covers intentional damages by a third-party.
Insurance fraud is really hard to hide, that’s the first thing insurance companies investigate, particularly if the claimant is a car dealership. This has been a popular criminal activity for decades, my uncle used to pull this scam with his motorcycle club, they all got caught.

Insurance doesn’t usually cover “acts of terrorism” so it will be funny if that’s how it gets classified.
Having to make a ton of insurance claims is not a good thing.
Eventually you become uninsurable, which is a lot harder to overcome than a sales slump.

Insurance companies? You realize insurance isn’t free right?

Insurance companies raised rates on teslas
Insurance isn’t going to pay out it’s $700 billion market cap. If this keeps up, Tesla the company won’t exist any longer.
