Tesla is overstocked with Cybertrucks, the PS1 graphics-looking mobile monument to Elon’s deep lack of creativity.

    Mobile dumpsters? Port o potties for the homeless? The possibilities are endless.

    There’s probably a tax write off in there somewhere for Elon. Nice silver lining.

        I’d love to know how much it costs to build each cybertruck, and visualise the other revenue loss of storing these, designing the machinery to build this shit and anything other costs that were factored into sales.

      I wish the article would tell us how many units instead, for this very reason.

          No, we don’t want the article to make us read. We want the article to grab our heads, pull our ears out and talk the information directly into our faces. You know, “tell us.”

        Last I remember they sold for $80k, plus that makes the math trivial, so… 10000 vehicles?

      $0 worth

      I’d be willing to pay that for a cyberdump. Wouldn’t mind the pubic lovingly trashing it either. It even traps passengers while burning like a complimentary self-cleaning oven feature. The disposal fee might be a bitch.

      On further thought, it might not be worth it.

        There should be ways to elegantly conceal the obscenity of a cybertruck, if we’re talking about a picturesque garden .

    All those preorders cancelled bc they lied about the price and the quality doesn’t match. Tesla was doing fine until the CEO got involved. Idk why those assholes wanted to give him billions of dollars as a bonus. Just absurd.

      they probably want his name to be still have some recognition, because Xitter is a very useful tool for the right to control the supporters, that is more valuable than tesla.
