The Tesla Cybertruck is arguably the most controversial new vehicle on the market–five years after it was initially shown to the public in prototype form. Some love it, others hate it, but one thing is clear: you’ll be noticed on the road if you happen to be inside a Cybertruck.
It’s an attention-grabbing machine, and its sales success has so far been undeniable. It managed to climb to the top of the best-selling electric pickups chart in the second quarter in the United States, surpassing the Rivian R1T and Ford F-150 Lightning, both of which have been on sale for longer.
But the initial boost seems to be drying out. Yesterday, workers at Tesla’s Austin factory, which assembles the Cybertruck, were told to stay home for the next three days, according to a memo seen by Business Insider. “On Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday this week (Dec. 3-5), you do not need to report to work,” the memo said.
I suspect this is going to be one of those vehicles where there’s a huge initial surge from the buyers who want one, then much lower demand for most of the product life.
Them being uninsurable in some states definitely isn’t helping with demand. And Tesla refuses to accept them for trade in.
They know they’re dumpster fires on wheels. They cut every corner possible and you can find hundreds of videos of them just falling to pieces
