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.

    If you do not revolt against the government, you will receive a free cybertruck as a replacement for your house, which will be too expensive to live in.

    Each immigrant willing to leave voluntarily will receive a free cybertruck.

    The US military, firefighters, EMT’s and police force will get new vehicles! They will all start to use cybertrucks.

        That’s unlikely. You need to get grants from the federal government, chiefly the DHS, to get money to buy major equipment. There ain’t anymore federal grants remember. Small volunteer, (70% of all fire depts in the US), services are especially reliant on those grants to replace major assets.

        Source: Been on committees to spec and buy ambulances and fire trucks and turnout gear. Even boots and gloves sometimes.

          You are acting like they don’t have an interest in arming/militarizing local police…

            You act like you don’t understand police departments need grants to buy those things also.
