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.

I wonder if Tesla could take the existing Cybertrucks and rebuild them into something else that would see more demand. I mean, plenty of auto companies have models that share a basic platform.
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.
Good. Let it burn.
Oh, that took me a while. Love it!

Thots and Players
Ok hold up lets keep the thots, send the players tho
Cheese pears.
hope they throttle the production by adding the quality control step
I am really looking forward to all the Teslas being stripped down for ev conversions and restomods.
So much of the design is proprietary nonsense, it makes me wonder how much of the trucks can be reused for something people actually want.
Sure, but there are lots of components that people can use. Tesla electric water pumps are used for IC engine cooling even though teslas don’t have combustion. power steering components for upgrades, motors for drivelines, mechanical linkages for steering and suspension. We can definitely use these items in a way the designers never intended.
Agreed. A lot of the EV conversion companies use Tesla parts.
And they put them together with acceptable tolerances it’s wild
Too be fair many EV conversions are bespoke works of art. Price is not a major concern for the owner.
They were overpriced garbage anyhow. BYD is outputting EV’s that are ten times better at a fraction of the cost. The only reason they aren’t being sold here is a bunch of protectionist bullshit that even democrats are responsible for.
It’s only misplaced faith by a bunch of techbro traders that’s even keeping the TSLA stock aloft. Tesla management literally dumps every certificate of stock they get as bonus the second they receive it.
Oh no … anyway.
valued at over $200 million
Bet they aren’t.
For insurance fraud purposes.
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.
Tee hee!
Don’t tease me like this every time something horrible happens to Musk I titter like a schoolgirl
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.
They even take it as a trade-in either xD
I think you forgot a word.
They were wont to forget 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 are looking quite nice in comparison.
And generally well designed and well made, to exacting standards.
And they float!
Nigel Thornberry is legitimately more terrifying than It.
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 have rust proofing applied.
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!
I’ll take one if they pay me and I don’t get charged for the fire afters
I honestly assumed they weren’t making any more of those shit boxes already.
