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.
Have they tried suing people who don’t want to buy one?
You mean These people
Whoa, there was a lot of fElon fellatio in the replies on that site.
In case you weren’t referencing this, be amazed:

Oh no 😥
I was referencing how Elon is suing companies for not wanting to advertise on X. But this is amazing, too.
Hmm, it’s almost like he’s an entitled billionaire not comfortable living in the real world with people who actually have free will! I don’t care how many zeros, he’s a loser.
Hmm, it’s kind of like he has an established MO for when his businesses are failing due to his own poor decisions and lack of business sense.
Nononono.
It’s that woke mind virus! Those infectious liberals have prevented true patriots from buying his shitty cars to proposely smash their fingers in the trunk.
Does that mean Canada and Mexico will be sued if the tariffs don’t make them beg to be annexed?
Trump lifted the tariffs. At this point I think it was just a smoke screen so there would be less coverage of Elon taking over the Treasury.
There are no smoke screens with this government. They don’t “do X to cover for Y.” None of it is “a distraction.” They’re impulsive children. They do X because they want to do X. But what they have learned is that if you move fast and do a lot of bad things all at once, you usually get away with at least some of them.
Probably an effort to prevent scalping. Oh, how optimistic they were…
You joke, but I wouldn’t be shocked if someone in particular gets that brainwave before too long
So much of the promo for the Tim and Eric mandatory attendance world tour 2020 has come true it’s fucking insane, man
They should force the government use cybertrucks for employe transportation just like Elon did with X and NTSB
That might be the biggest harbinger of whether musk or Trump is running things. Trump has banned fed government from buying EV.
