Tesla Cybertruck appears to be facing significant sales challenges. After initial hype faded, and over a million reservations turned out to be as real as unicorns, Tesla is now enabling leasing options and free upgrades to move its inventory of the futuristic pickup truck. The company’s recent silence on the Cybertruck, even omitting it from their earnings call, speaks volumes about the situation.
Tesla initially projected sales of 500,000 Cybertrucks annually and established production capacity at the Giga Texas for 250,000 units per year. After working through the initial reservation backlog with fewer than 40,000 deliveries, the automaker is now struggling to sell the remaining vehicles.
Who would have thought the preorders all dried up when they advertised it at $39,900 but launched it at $60,990.
A couple weeks ago I drove past a Tesla dealership in Northern California. They must have had a dozen of these dumpsters lined up out front.
Is this the one they let musk design? Feels like a Simpsons episode…
Personally, I’m holding out for the Tesla minivan.
At least that one had big cup holders.
I guess if Hitler was allowed to design a car, Musk didn’t want to be left behind.
Strange I see them everywhere
Who the hell buys a cybertruck anyway ?
Leon Skum is doing his best
I thought you were talking about me for a hot second…
Hate for his employees to suffer for his shitty actions but there it is
At least the Wolkswagen was egineered properly. I don’t see anyone continuing to use this design after the war.
Well that was designed by one of the GOATs - Ferdinand Porsche
Although not popular to admit it at 39,999 I’d very much consider one because there aren’t many new electric truck around that price. Now a new F-150 lighting would take that spot for me without much consideration. At 75k for the f150 and 80+k for a cybertruck there is no way I’d get either.
I just don’t know how people can afford personal cars vehicles for that much. Judging by sales, most people can’t.
For what it was spec’d at originally, I think more people would have been willing to consider it than would like to admit, assuming the other trucks were still priced as is.
Leon the Nazi can ask his dictator buddies, Abbott and the Orange Cockroach for a bailout.
The Swasticar!
I remember posting about how a guy with a cybertruck would be an immediate no go for me and I was told by a guy I was being too judgy lol
Being honest, if I heard about a woman that has cybertruck red flags (assuming you’re cis/het), that’s genuinely more attractive to me.
Imagine a cyber truck bro listening to Joe Rogan in that thing. How does that not make every woman in sight instantly aroused?? /s
My panties are soaked! I’m also a pudgy middle-age dude.
You can buy incontinence sheets at the pharmacy, y’know?
:(
This is valid just on taste alone. The thing was ugly even before Elon started his descent into madness.
Nazi truck.
Fashcan?
Apparently Elon hates it when you call them swasticars, so definitely do not do that.

I’m not sure why, but every time I see one I think of a giant tick that has guzzled way too much blood and is about to explode.

I can understand why Nazis like it, given the truck’s habit of trapping you inside as it engulfs you in flames.
Some may call this a bug, but I’d argue this is it’s best feature
Every time a Tesla burns a devil gets it’s horns.
“People deserve to die for buying the wrong car. I am the good guy in this scenario.”
Innocent people are being killed. Not really something to celebrate.
They bought a cybertruck. Are they really innocent?
Or they know someone who bought a cyber truck. Passengers who accepted a ride. Children or family members who have no control over what the buyer does. Be realistic
Not even Hitler would buy one. He’s got too much self-respect than to associate with Elon.
Have they tried pulling out the “Make a vehicle that’s not a massive and shitty death trap,” or “Boot the Nazi from the company” stops? Because, I suspect doing those two might help it out.
The myth of Elon is still going strong. Now he’s taking over government agencies. Not that it’s the right move, but keeping him on might keep the stock at the insanely overvalued level it’s at. That’s all that matters.
