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.

      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.

      I can understand why Nazis like it, given the truck’s habit of trapping you inside as it engulfs you in flames.

          “People deserve to die for buying the wrong car. I am the good guy in this scenario.”

          Innocent people are being killed. Not really something to celebrate.

              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
