Summary
The Tesla Cybertruck is in crisis. The automaker is still sitting on a ton of old inventory, which it is now heavily discounting, and it is throttling down production.
Tesla is expected to currently be selling the Cybertruck at a rate of about 25,000 units a year – a tenth of what Musk predicted.
Tesla began the second quarter with 2,400 Cybertrucks in inventory, valued at over $200 million. Tesla is now offering deeper discounts on the new inventory of Cybertrucks.
The automaker has reduced its Cybertruck production teams and now operates at a fraction of its original capacity.
Contemplating the fact that people are being snatched off the streets and being sent to prisons in El Salvador and there’s an article about the sales decline of the horrid car of the Nazi Elon Musk who is a main player in this fascist regime.
Tee hee!
Don’t tease me like this every time something horrible happens to Musk I titter like a schoolgirl
Thots and Players
Ok hold up lets keep the thots, send the players tho
Oh, that took me a while. Love it!

He predicted that he would sell a quarter-million of those $80,000 shipping containers on wheels a year?
Unfair comparison. Shipping containers are actually useful.
You can turn a shipping container into a poorly insulated house, which my hope for cybertruck owners too
And generally well designed and well made, to exacting standards.
And the front doesn’t fall off for starters!
That was a feature, not a bug.
Not sure what the feature does, but, details don’t matter to the wanks that but them.
And they float!
Nigel Thornberry is legitimately more terrifying than It.
And have rust proofing applied.
And are looking quite nice in comparison.
Depends on how you define “predicted”.
If you meant “made the most logical guess using all available data” then no, he didn’t do that.
But if you meant “pulled an impossible sales number out of a ketamine-laced shit from his lumpy asshole that wildly overestimated how popular he and his ‘truck’ are” then I’d say you’re correct!
Oh no … anyway.
Is it a crisis when it’s been that way from before the beginning.
IncEl Camino
Haha I’ve been calling them Elon Camino. I like this better.
Pay me $1000 and I’ll take one. I won’t drive it but I’ll take it.
I’d be willing to buy one to make it my sole mission to jailbreak it if it hasn’t already. I won’t rest until I have it running crysis.
Has anyone played Doom on it yet?
Make sure you store it somewhere you don’t mind being surveilled.

25k of EV pickups is A LOT by comparison to others.
It’s a stupid truck but also the target demographic doesn’t really exist.
I seriously wonder who these 25k a month even are? How are they selling even a hundred a month?
Tesla has made up numbers before. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
These numbers coming from Tesla have never been actual sales but “deliveries”, which can occur multiple times per sale and also can occur without a sale. They only publicize “deliveries” instead of actual sales data because bigger number.
It’s 25k per year, and its only an estimate (from Tesla) based on the sales so far. I’m betting those sales falling off a cliff will keep numbers well below that when the year actually comes to an end.
Also, Tesla has a tendency to claim environmental subsidies for sales that only exist on paper.
Good. Let it burn.
valued at over $200 million
Bet they aren’t.
For insurance fraud purposes.
They’re also hiding them (my opinion) off of their main lot so people don’t see how many are sitting around. The dealership near me has a couple on the lot but down the road, across the street on a hidden side road I saw over a dozen of them sitting in a fenced in lot gathering pollen last week.
Do you have access to a super soaker and vinegar? Maybe you could help wash some of that pollen off.
The CIA of yesteryear approves this idea.
Where destruction is involved, the weapons of the citizen-saboteur are salt, nails, candles, pebbles, thread, or any other materials he might normally be expected to possess as a householder or as a worker in his particular occupation. His arsenal is the kitchen shelf, the trash pile, his own usual kit of tools and supplies. The targets of his sabotage are usually objects to which he has normal and inconspicuous access in everyday life.

What a great thing to download from Mr Gutenberg
Some pickle brine seems like it would be particularly effective in creating a lovely rust patina.
That’s a good way to get shot by a cop, or sent to El Salvador
Why vinegar?
The Cybertruck’s stainless steel body is susceptible to corrosion from acidic substances, including vinegar. Tesla’s own guidance advises against using acidic liquids or materials, including vinegar, on the vehicle’s exterior.

Now I’m conflicted about that news article I saw about Trump letting those 70 coal plants operate with emissions unchecked, because now the acid rain they cause will degrade the trucks faster.
Given what the frame is made of, I’ve been curious why gallium prices haven’t spiked…
Expect more CTs to catch fire in their lots, as they blame other people for arson.

TBH, this would not surprise me at all.
hope they throttle the production by adding the quality control step
