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.
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.
You are statistically more likely to die in a fire in a Cybertruck than a Ford Pinto
Well obviously; nobody drives Pintos anymore. :P
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.
The cybertruck didn’t have hype, it was a meme car. And Elon was always too stupid to understand that memes remain popular for a very short amount of time before attention moves on.
A lot of people were fool enough to put money down for it. Preorders were massive, something like a million, and they were projecting a waiting list of years. But when it showed up for double the price, half the range, badly reviewed, widely ridiculed and a raft of extremely serious issues those preorders just evaporated. It went from a waiting list of years, to no list at all.
Since the article mentions Canada I can only assume issues trying to sell this wankpanzer have only gotten worse since Musk went full Nazi. Imagine being a Canadian and buying any Tesla let alone this one. Countries where this thing is legal should be seriously looking at their vehicle safety laws.
People also don’t usually dump a bunch of money on a meme.
NFTs have entered the chat…
I think you mean smart people don’t dump a bunch of money on a meme.
How many actually did though? Rich techbros are not much of a market.
They are promoting that Nazi car in Taiwan. Where the roads don’t fit. The parking lots where all the chargers are don’t fit.
Stupid marketing.
In the case it wasn’t even a Tesla car, they range from $80-100k USD, with discount and tax credit it goes for $67-87k USD.
When you have so many other around that price range from BMW IX, Rivian R1s, Cadillac Lyriq, etc. I genuinely think you’re an idiot going for something that looks like that.
I refuse to believe anyone who has bought a cyber truck is a normal person. I think they all must be people who would suck on Elons feet.
Good. It’s an ugly, expensive, unsafe vehicle that has no business existing. Oh and the CEO is a nazi cunt.
Because they’re fucking junk. $TSLA puts the time has finally arrived
I drove one at an ev drive event, and I actually thought it drove interestingly. It was different from other vehicles and I didn’t mind driving it.
On the other hand, the panels that make it up look like something I made in my garage with some stainless plate and a plasma cutter. It looked very “kit car” when you got up close to it. I can appreciate a hobbyist welding plate together to make things but one would assume Tesla should have at least a waterjet cutter to produce clean edges.
Also, it is irresponsible to fund Elon musk.
Can’t ship swasticars?
I am shocked. SHOCKED. Well not that shocked.
Good. Fuck Musk and his Nazi truck
