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

    “$800 million worth”?
    “Nobody wants”?

    Sounds like creative accounting…

        Except these actually have value as scrap especially in the batteries.

      Yup. Their boss controls the IRS. They’ll write them off, get a bailout check, and sale the remaining trucks to the US military. Triple dip the American tax payer.

      They tried that in Canada and got caught. They’ll get a free handy for doing it in the US under Tump though.

        That’s what Trump’s big legal battle with New York was about - lying about the value of a penthouse or something.

        So much of these “rich” fuckers wealth is just bullshit on paper.

    Wait, now it’s only $700 million. $400 million. $34 million… And it’s $6.50.

    Yeah, I guess there is someone out there who would buy a fleet of dumpster cars for $6.50.

      This photo is taken out of context, though. I mean, he slapped his chest before the salute, and he did it twice in a row… Ah shit nevermind, he’s a Nazi.

        The hand on his heart really does make you think twice about the meaning though, just like it did with that other guy.

    Is that price at full retail price or cost of parts. Either way, sounds like someone misjudged the market by a lot and needs to be ejected from their CEO role.

        Battery would be grand for a household solar install. Seats would be nice on the porch. The frunk can hold a lot of chicken feed, and the cabin would make a fine henhouse for a small flock.

      This is the only situation I would support some backwoods jackass converting something to diesel and “rolling coal” in it.

      I know it will never happen, but I would find in genuinely hilarious.

      Except it still cost you money. It still needs to be registered, titled, and plated. This means you will be in the negative after only having it for 5 days.

    If Chevy had released this truck it would have been ended up like the HHR but worse.
