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.
Even if you ignore the politics it’s just a terrible car that is way too expensive. I’m honestly surprised it sold any units at all but I guess people just like vanity toys.
Tesla fan here, this is kind of accurate. I wouldn’t call it terrible, but the aluminum chassis means it has towing limitations, the small battery doesn’t have nearly as much range as most other Tesla’s and it gets worse if you’re towing, plus not everybody wants to drive the Halo truck. Double the range or cut the price by 30% and you have an interesting car, as it is now I look at it as a first generation attempt.
You’ve got some balls coming in here & proclaiming You’re a fan of Nazi billshit.
Hey, thw Nazis have a slightly better UI than the c9mpetition, I really have no choice but to buy their stuff.
