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.
It is not a good pickup truck regardless of Musk being a fascist
It looks like musk gave a verbal description of a truck to someone who never seen one before and they just went with it.
Pretty amazing how much you can milk fragile masculinity. Like actually astounding how badly these people need the vague idea of manliness to survive. It kinda makes me feel bad for them, that’s learned behavior.
It certainly doesn’t look very useful. It looks like you asked a 5-year-old to draw a “cool truck.”
I’m generally all for that idea. Everything is the same gravel color now, and oversized and shitty. They could have made something that looked different but was still useful. They just failed.
