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.
Is this the one they let musk design? Feels like a Simpsons episode…
I guess if Hitler was allowed to design a car, Musk didn’t want to be left behind.
Leon the Nazi can ask his dictator buddies, Abbott and the Orange Cockroach for a bailout.
A couple weeks ago I drove past a Tesla dealership in Northern California. They must have had a dozen of these dumpsters lined up out front.
Who would have thought the preorders all dried up when they advertised it at $39,900 but launched it at $60,990.
The Swasticar!
Not even Hitler would buy one. He’s got too much self-respect than to associate with Elon.
I remember posting about how a guy with a cybertruck would be an immediate no go for me and I was told by a guy I was being too judgy lol
Being honest, if I heard about a woman that has cybertruck red flags (assuming you’re cis/het), that’s genuinely more attractive to me.
It’s a solid real world filter.
This is definitely more acceptable than “no social media” being a red flag. Got that one before lol
I give the gift of a free bird to any I pass on the street.
Are you Lynyrd Skynyrd?
I did go to high school in Alabama, and know somebody from Muscle Shoals …
No social media is a green flag IMO.
You’re literally using social media right now.
Edit: Downvote me all you want, but the fact of the matter is that Lemmy is social media. There’s media on here, and we discuss it in a social setting. Literally the definition of “social media”.
Anonymous social media like this is not what people think of when someone says “social media”.
I like the term that was applied to reddit, antisocial media.
This is more akin to forums of old and less like your facebooks, snaps, etc
Both can be true. I’m reducing my usage of the REALLY BAD social media and trying to make THIS social media better.
This is valid just on taste alone. The thing was ugly even before Elon started his descent into madness.
Imagine a cyber truck bro listening to Joe Rogan in that thing. How does that not make every woman in sight instantly aroused?? /s
My panties are soaked! I’m also a pudgy middle-age dude.
:(
Nazi truck.
Apparently Elon hates it when you call them swasticars, so definitely do not do that.
I’m not sure why, but every time I see one I think of a giant tick that has guzzled way too much blood and is about to explode.
Wankpanzer

I can understand why Nazis like it, given the truck’s habit of trapping you inside as it engulfs you in flames.
Some may call this a bug, but I’d argue this is it’s best feature
“People deserve to die for buying the wrong car. I am the good guy in this scenario.”
Every time a Tesla burns a devil gets it’s horns.
Innocent people are being killed. Not really something to celebrate.
They bought a cybertruck. Are they really innocent?
Or they know someone who bought a cyber truck. Passengers who accepted a ride. Children or family members who have no control over what the buyer does. Be realistic
Have they tried pulling out the “Make a vehicle that’s not a massive and shitty death trap,” or “Boot the Nazi from the company” stops? Because, I suspect doing those two might help it out.
The myth of Elon is still going strong. Now he’s taking over government agencies. Not that it’s the right move, but keeping him on might keep the stock at the insanely overvalued level it’s at. That’s all that matters.
I wish journalist would stop calling this PS 1 Pontiac Aztek “futuristic”; it just highlights how shitty our future is going to be.
Ironically, the Aztek is way better, despite its age…
I mean it would fit well in Robocop or The Running man so I guess it counts
That’s retro-futuristic, a very different thing.
I’m thinking more omikron the nomad soul lmao.
I am shocked they sold as many of them as they did. I get that there are mindless fans, but this is quite an expensive and ugly commitment to make.
Now if I could just get my 6YO to stop fawning over them.
Hmm… i can’t blame them. The cybertruck does look like a who’s drawing of a car.
Are there brake problems again?
Weird, I’ve heard Elon’s pull out game sucks balls.
And I’ve heard the majority of his kids are IVF/surrogate… does Leon even fuck?
I’m sorry
What a shock, the meme car only sold a few units before people were over it. LoL 😂
