Tesla Cybertrucks Are Gathering Dust, Even With $6,000 Discount

As unwanted Cybertruck inventory rises, Tesla is forced to introduce discounts. But even $6,000 savings aren't bringing buyers into showrooms.

Summary

Tesla is struggling to sell its Cybertruck, even after applying discounts of up to $6,000. Inventories are piling up in the U.S. and Canada, with demand falling short of expectations.

The 2025 model qualifies for a $7,500 tax credit, but the 2024 model—still in stock—does not. There are also concerns that the tax credit may soon be eliminated.

Tesla’s goal of producing 250,000 Cybertrucks annually seems unrealistic, and analysts suggest a cheaper single-motor version may be needed to stimulate demand.

The Cybertruck’s hype appears to be fading.

    This gif is so fun to analyze, in the show you only see the scene briefly so it seems just fine but the longer you watch it loop the more you notice the flaws that they could get away with in the format.

    • Front wheels pop in and out of existence
    • Horn on the top bounces upwards when facing away
    • The antenna is always behind the bubble dome even when it should be in front of it
    • Homer suddenly flips all the way backwards when the car is roughly facing to the right
    • The entire scene is static except for the car itself and a single blink for Herb
    • The spoiler slopes down when its on the left but up when its on the right
