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.
Who the heck would want a work truck that is locked behind proprietary everything and only repairable through overpriced and overbooked, understaffed tesla dealerships.
It’s the worst decision own could make for a business vehicle or work truck.
even if you set aside the fact that driving this thing is a literal fascist dogwhistle, it’s also objectively a terrible vehicle- electric or otherwise.
I’m sure all the hardworking engineers, assemblers, office workers, sales people, materials, programmers, hardware, research people are super ecstatic about having their CEO turn their brand new product from an awesome big ass piece of shit electric washed environment destruction truck into a product nobody wants.
Like probably you’ll see one of my fellow citizens running around town with a bunch of lawn mowers and leaf blowers in one of these pretty soon. How much did you pay for that shit man? Oh I got it cheap on Craigslist for $3K!
Is it a crisis when it’s been that way from before the beginning.
it was a piece of junk when it first showed up in the news as a concept, 5years before it was released and its a junk now.
FUCK NAZIS
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.
Oh no. Maybe they can keep the Pontiac Aztek company in the automotive retirement home.
This is Aztek slander, the Aztek was actually a good car.
The Aztec concept car was excellent! I have no idea how they turned that into that mess of a production vehicle
The Aztec styling was just ahead of its time.
Yeah, good luck with that.
I mean I didn’t like the truck when it was first introduced, much less now that I know it’s being built by a company lead by a Neo-Nazi.
White House right now: “we don’t need anyone else!” Meanwhile no one working there can survive without the drugs from developing countries and half of them can’t even wipe their own ass. Yeah sure America might be fine but America is a continent and it doesn’t bend to a couple pathetic barely functioning pedofilic rapists with a breeding kink.
I’m trying to think of how cheap it would have to be for me to drive one of these monstrosities and it would have to be something like $-50K/year.
Pay me a lower middle class salary and I will drive your piece of shit electric truck.
You theoretically want to die on fire trapped in one for that much money?
I struggle with suicidal ideation every day, so…maybe?
I’ll take one if they pay me and I don’t get charged for the fire afters
Good. Let it burn.
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.
IncEl Camino
Haha I’ve been calling them Elon Camino. I like this better.
