I would pay 10 bucks to use them in my survival kit as a fire starter.
I wonder if people don't want the truck because of its design or the association with Elon more.

I think its crazy that they made $800 mil worth of these cars. Who the hell thought they would sell well?
I always thought he was making them as a limited high-end run. It's neither of those things.

That's 80,000 vehicles. The production capacity is 250k. Ford sold 460,000 F-150s last year.
Chrysler had an inventory of over 1 million last year, they've ran through that by March.

Tesla stock is up 21% in the last week. What is going on?!
Speculators/inside traders betting on (more) favourable rule changes or a fat govt supply contract perhaps

I’ll pay one thousand dollars cold hard cash for a new cybertruck
Just be sure you have enough savings for the inevitable repairs, tows, etc.
To salvage the materials and resell them or build something else from it?

They're not worthless, im sure you can use them for scrap metal
Elon underestimated how willing people were to buy a truck from a nazi.

Can confirm. Do not want.
If he drops the price to about $8k and includes lifetime fast charging, I'd consider one. Of course, for $8k, there are plenty of much nicer used trucks available on the market, though.
Idunno, they seem like they'd be perpetual rotten fruit magnets. Like you'd have to hose them down a lot

How abut: The truck is just plain ugly.
It looks like a refuse bin. Square back, low opening front.
When I worked in a lime quarry, we used a bin something like that shape to put all the crap and garbage in The a-frame had a bar across the top and the kiln truck picked it up worth its hoist and loaded it on the back, and hauled away the load to the dump.
