Tesla Cybertruck appears to be facing significant sales challenges. After initial hype faded, and over a million reservations turned out to be as real as unicorns, Tesla is now enabling leasing options and free upgrades to move its inventory of the futuristic pickup truck. The company’s recent silence on the Cybertruck, even omitting it from their earnings call, speaks volumes about the situation.
Tesla initially projected sales of 500,000 Cybertrucks annually and established production capacity at the Giga Texas for 250,000 units per year. After working through the initial reservation backlog with fewer than 40,000 deliveries, the automaker is now struggling to sell the remaining vehicles.
I’m betting high odds he will force the federal government to buy them under the guise of a green EV transition. With trump’s full blessing, of course.
Why isn’t the puny, petulant man-thing that runs the Nazicar Factory not suing us all for not buying them? That’s how you deal with advertisers who don’t wanna advertise with him so why not consumers who don’t want to consume?
It’s the next stupid, asinine step.
I hope anyone who ever admired this fuck face is deeply embarrassed. Or losing money.
Give him some time. Once his cronies get everything working right he won’t have to sue, he can just deny federal benefits to people who don’t order a cybertuck and send their hearts out to him when they receive it.
I saw my first cybertruck in traffic yesterday, I initially thought that some redneck had every part you need to make a car except for the frame and body, and was like “I don’t need none of that fancy shit, I got square tube and steel plate!” and welded together the laziest design they could think of. Then I realized it was just a cybertruck, and promptly laughed at it.
Tesla made 2.8 billion last year from selling regulatory credits. So they really didn’t have to care how many cars they sold. But those surely are going away, so they are going to have to do some other government handout, which Elon is probably hand picking right now.
All DEI fault for this failure
/s (if it wasn’t obvious 🙂)
Na this is caused by immigrant /s
In the words of a wise yellow character HA HA
I wonder how Tesla sales in Israel are going?
So… how long before the federal government buys up a couple million of these things…?
Time for the US military to replace all their humvees?
They just started rolling new postal trucks off the line so now seems like a good time to cancel that contract and sign a new one to replace them with Cyber trucks.
Those things are rolling IEDs. I can’t even begin to imagine how that would play out.
MMW Police and the Feds in US gonna be required to only have Cybertrucks in the (dystopian) future. Welcome to Night City 2077.
It’s pretty funny because they kinda look like straight out of judge dredd. The shitty one.
Cybercuck.
Well if they’d stop putting signage with “Arbeit Macht Frei” over the entrance to their factories maybe they’d do better.
Is that “all stops”, as in they will get rid of that guy who very definitely did a Nazi salute?
Seriously, why the fuck is he still CEO of that company? He’s actively undermining them in every way on a global scale. Tesla shareholders are idiots…
This just in: Tesla’s new moniker “Arbeit Macht Frei” tracks poorly with most human beings.
Best they can do is promote him.
What do you get for a guy whose dick gets sucked by the president?
There were stops left that could be removed from Cybertrucks, still?
Bit like Elon, Never lived up to the hype
i wonder when ol stinky starts pushing somekind of law that makes it mandatory to buy one
More likely to make the government buy them all.
basically same thing though, just even more infuriating
Or forces it on the military.
OK, that would be funny
DOGE
Tesla just needs a new slogan or a good marketing campaign.
Something like:
Tesla - power by joy
Or “Kraft durch Freude” in German.
All that would perfectly fit the brand image.
Or make a special edition. The Kristall Nacht with a red and black wrap or something.
Could even decorate it with a pattern based on an asian symbol commonly found on temples!
A nice white background on a red backdrop would communicate our bold passion
A german asian mix. That is so forward thinking.
