Tesla’s Cybertruck, once touted as “the World’s Toughest Truck,” now seems to be gathering rust in inventories across major U.S. metropolitan areas.
A recent count reveals that within 25 miles of some of the top 25 most populous zip codes, a staggering 1,246 Cybertrucks remain in unsold inventory. The total count nationwide of Cybertrucks waiting on a buyer is likely much higher, as these 25 mile segments only account for about half of the US population.
If each Cybertruck sells at the minimum price of $79,990, that’s about $100 million worth of what Ask Car Guys voted overwhelmingly for the Worst Truck Ever Made.
Here’s the data!
I’d buy one for $40k if it was brand new and I knew I robbed Tesla substantially below their margin mark. If I was taking money from Tesla count me in.
It’s more like you’d be letting them cut their losses. $40k > $0
I’d buy one for $40K if they gave me $80K and I got to set it on fire and roll it into Twitter HQ.
It’s a fair point but you realize that’s not rational right? The truck, though stupid, has some monetary value. If the price gets low enough people who loathe Musk will still buy it. I’m in that camp. I realize that’s not a popular stance in the pitchfork crowd but I’m a practical hater.
I mean, you’re really just putting value on your distaste of musk. For a 40-60k payoff you can do business with him.
Given the higher probability of fatality driving it than another vehicle in its class, I still wouldn’t get one for $40K. I value my life a lot more than that.
Yea I’m putting a value on my distain but you seem to be misunderstanding the math. If they sell the truck for $80k it likely costs them $60k++ to make. If I buy it for $40k I’m taking $20k away from their coffers. This is all totally made up numbers, I dont work there and know their bottom line. But at the end of the day, at some point SOMEONE is going to give them some amount for the truck. I would sleep fine knowing I took money from the company rather than added to it.
By your math they were down 80k before you gave them your money and cut their loss down to 40k. There’s no guarantee that anyone is going to buy them, in fact this is an issue tesla already has. Fields of new cars rotting away because they’re not selling.
