Summary
The Tesla Cybertruck is in crisis. The automaker is still sitting on a ton of old inventory, which it is now heavily discounting, and it is throttling down production.
Tesla is expected to currently be selling the Cybertruck at a rate of about 25,000 units a year – a tenth of what Musk predicted.
Tesla began the second quarter with 2,400 Cybertrucks in inventory, valued at over $200 million. Tesla is now offering deeper discounts on the new inventory of Cybertrucks.
The automaker has reduced its Cybertruck production teams and now operates at a fraction of its original capacity.
Oh, that took me a while. Love it!
Thots and Players
Ok hold up lets keep the thots, send the players tho

They’re also hiding them (my opinion) off of their main lot so people don’t see how many are sitting around. The dealership near me has a couple on the lot but down the road, across the street on a hidden side road I saw over a dozen of them sitting in a fenced in lot gathering pollen last week.
Do you have access to a super soaker and vinegar? Maybe you could help wash some of that pollen off.
The CIA of yesteryear approves this idea.
Where destruction is involved, the weapons of the citizen-saboteur are salt, nails, candles, pebbles, thread, or any other materials he might normally be expected to possess as a householder or as a worker in his particular occupation. His arsenal is the kitchen shelf, the trash pile, his own usual kit of tools and supplies. The targets of his sabotage are usually objects to which he has normal and inconspicuous access in everyday life.

Some pickle brine seems like it would be particularly effective in creating a lovely rust patina.
What a great thing to download from Mr Gutenberg
That’s a good way to get shot by a cop, or sent to El Salvador
Why vinegar?
The Cybertruck’s stainless steel body is susceptible to corrosion from acidic substances, including vinegar. Tesla’s own guidance advises against using acidic liquids or materials, including vinegar, on the vehicle’s exterior.
Do we have a pH chart for various animal urines I have a hunting trip coming up and don’t want to burn the dog
Now I’m conflicted about that news article I saw about Trump letting those 70 coal plants operate with emissions unchecked, because now the acid rain they cause will degrade the trucks faster.
Given what the frame is made of, I’ve been curious why gallium prices haven’t spiked…
He predicted that he would sell a quarter-million of those $80,000 shipping containers on wheels a year?
Unfair comparison. Shipping containers are actually useful.
And generally well designed and well made, to exacting standards.
And they float!
Nigel Thornberry is legitimately more terrifying than It.
And the front doesn’t fall off for starters!
That was a feature, not a bug.
Not sure what the feature does, but, details don’t matter to the wanks that but them.
You can turn a shipping container into a poorly insulated house, which my hope for cybertruck owners too
And have rust proofing applied.
Depends on how you define “predicted”.
If you meant “made the most logical guess using all available data” then no, he didn’t do that.
But if you meant “pulled an impossible sales number out of a ketamine-laced shit from his lumpy asshole that wildly overestimated how popular he and his ‘truck’ are” then I’d say you’re correct!
FUCK NAZIS
What a disaster.
In normal companies, the CEO would be fired.
Unfortunately, the ‘firing’ is usually a golden handshake and jumping straight into heading another company to run that into the ground too. After multiple rounds of layoffs of course.
even if you set aside the fact that driving this thing is a literal fascist dogwhistle, it’s also objectively a terrible vehicle- electric or otherwise.
Who the heck would want a work truck that is locked behind proprietary everything and only repairable through overpriced and overbooked, understaffed tesla dealerships.
It’s the worst decision own could make for a business vehicle or work truck.
IncEl Camino
Haha I’ve been calling them Elon Camino. I like this better.
White House right now: “we don’t need anyone else!” Meanwhile no one working there can survive without the drugs from developing countries and half of them can’t even wipe their own ass. Yeah sure America might be fine but America is a continent and it doesn’t bend to a couple pathetic barely functioning pedofilic rapists with a breeding kink.
Is it a crisis when it’s been that way from before the beginning.
valued at over $200 million
Bet they aren’t.
For insurance fraud purposes.
Expect more CTs to catch fire in their lots, as they blame other people for arson.
TBH, this would not surprise me at all.

it was a piece of junk when it first showed up in the news as a concept, 5years before it was released and its a junk now.
Yeah, good luck with that.
I mean I didn’t like the truck when it was first introduced, much less now that I know it’s being built by a company lead by a Neo-Nazi.
I’m trying to think of how cheap it would have to be for me to drive one of these monstrosities and it would have to be something like $-50K/year.
Pay me a lower middle class salary and I will drive your piece of shit electric truck.
You theoretically want to die on fire trapped in one for that much money?
I struggle with suicidal ideation every day, so…maybe?
It would have to more for me if they add rules and a contract, though. You’d want to make it look incredibly anti-musk to avoid someone fucking up the car.
Granted, you’d still make money up to that point.
