Yes and now the stock is back above 300. I really don’t understand these meme stocks.
Good.
I’d pay five thousand dollars for one. Round off the sharp corners and put a Honda sign on it and BOOM I beat capitalism.
Came here just to upvote you.
They’re hideous, the places with a population that could afford them mostly view them as a social black mark, and in terms of utility - they’re worse than just about any truck out there. It’s not about max towing weight. It’s about not being able to stack and strap a shit ton of stuff in there
So then they have $0 worth of cybertrucks.
I was gonna say. Doesn’t seem right that they can just add up the MSRP like that and claim it’s millions worth of something if nobody’s buying. Plus, I’d wager the manufacturing cost of all that is significantly lower.
$0 worth
I’d be willing to pay that for a cyberdump. Wouldn’t mind the pubic lovingly trashing it either. It even traps passengers while burning like a complimentary self-cleaning oven feature. The disposal fee might be a bitch.
On further thought, it might not be worth it.
Just keep the windows down at all times. Then you can jump out and laugh at it when it’s on fire.
Id strip it for parts and convert a classic car with one if the price was right. (Free)
-$800 million those weren’t free to build.
I’d love to know how much it costs to build each cybertruck, and visualise the other revenue loss of storing these, designing the machinery to build this shit and anything other costs that were factored into sales.
The big 3 used to need to sell something like 1/2 million cars before covering R&D costs. But that was also back in the 60-70s when they sold a million cars a year and designed it all on paper.
The cyber truck’s design was so stupid that it may have approached that level of r&d costs. Since bonding and forming such thick Stainless steel isn’t trivial.
I wish the article would tell us how many units instead, for this very reason.
Or report their value as the scrap value or cost of materials
That’s literally in the second sentence of the article.
Just looked again and you’re right lmao. I did read it, but somehow missed it.
No, we don’t want the article to make us read. We want the article to grab our heads, pull our ears out and talk the information directly into our faces. You know, “tell us.”
Last I remember they sold for $80k, plus that makes the math trivial, so… 10000 vehicles?
Wow that has so much more impact to me, I can really visualise the endless parking lots full of them.
Mobile dumpsters? Port o potties for the homeless? The possibilities are endless.
There’s probably a tax write off in there somewhere for Elon. Nice silver lining.
Good.
Tbh I’d take one for free. It might look kinda cool in my garden with plants growing out of it.
Ehhhh, that would require a cybertruck to look cool though.
There should be ways to elegantly conceal the obscenity of a cybertruck, if we’re talking about a picturesque garden .
Hide it behind a large tree or bush?
i would keep the battery, buy some solar panels, an inverter for my house, and sell the chassis as scrap metal
waiting for someone to officially label them the DeLorean of the 21st century.
Please, nobody insult the DeLorean this way.
If no one wants them, they’re not worth anything.
I guess they’re worth the money spent to make them? But yeah, it’s just a pile of trash. I can’t believe I still see so many on the road. I do live in a reddish hell though
There’s always scrap metal and selling the batteries for other purposes!
Cut to the Trump administration buying them all for $250,000 each.
…so almost enough trucks to supply the people affected by the recalls?
And entire production lines configured to produce shit nobody wants.
All those preorders cancelled bc they lied about the price and the quality doesn’t match. Tesla was doing fine until the CEO got involved. Idk why those assholes wanted to give him billions of dollars as a bonus. Just absurd.
they probably want his name to be still have some recognition, because Xitter is a very useful tool for the right to control the supporters, that is more valuable than tesla.
Sell them to ocean shipping companies … they can tie a chain around them and use them as boat anchors
But sharks.
They’d probably (definitely) suck at that too.
Watch them rust quickly in salty water
