Good. Let it burn.
25k of EV pickups is A LOT by comparison to others.
It's a stupid truck but also the target demographic doesn't really exist.

The automaker is still sitting on a ton of old inventory, which it is now heavily discounting, and it is throttling down production.
Tesla is expected to currently be selling the Cybertruck at a rate of about 25,000 units a year – a tenth of what Musk predicted.
I wonder if Tesla could take the existing Cybertrucks and rebuild them into something else that would see more demand. I mean, plenty of auto companies have models that share a basic platform.

Shareholder lawsuits before the end of the year, I’m betting.
They'll find out that it's now a capital offense to sue Elmo.
Anytime my group and I see one in Fortnite we have to drop what we’re doing and kill whoever’s in it.

I am really looking forward to all the Teslas being stripped down for ev conversions and restomods.
They were overpriced garbage anyhow. BYD is outputting EV's that are ten times better at a fraction of the cost. The only reason they aren't being sold here is a bunch of protectionist bullshit that even democrats are responsible for.
It's only misplaced faith by a bunch of techbro traders that's even keeping the TSLA stock aloft. Tesla management literally dumps every certificate of stock they get as bonus the second they receive it.
So much of the design is proprietary nonsense, it makes me wonder how much of the trucks can be reused for something people actually want.
Sure, but there are lots of components that people can use. Tesla electric water pumps are used for IC engine cooling even though teslas don’t have combustion. power steering components for upgrades, motors for drivelines, mechanical linkages for steering and suspension. We can definitely use these items in a way the designers never intended.
Expect more CTs to catch fire in their lots, as they blame other people for arson.
TBH, this would not surprise me at all.

I honestly assumed they weren't making any more of those shit boxes already.
hope they throttle the production by adding the quality control step
They're also hiding them (my opinion) off of their main lot so people don't see how many are sitting around. The dealership near me has a couple on the lot but down the road, across the street on a hidden side road I saw over a dozen of them sitting in a fenced in lot gathering pollen last week.
Do you have access to a super soaker and vinegar? Maybe you could help wash some of that pollen off.
Why vinegar?
The Cybertruck's stainless steel body is susceptible to corrosion from acidic substances, including vinegar. Tesla's own guidance advises against using acidic liquids or materials, including vinegar, on the vehicle's exterior.
Do we have a pH chart for various animal urines I have a hunting trip coming up and don't want to burn the dog

The CIA of yesteryear approves this idea.
Where destruction is involved, the weapons of the citizen-saboteur are salt, nails, candles, pebbles, thread, or any other materials he might normally be expected to possess as a householder or as a worker in his particular occupation. His arsenal is the kitchen shelf, the trash pile, his own usual kit of tools and supplies. The targets of his sabotage are usually objects to which he has normal and inconspicuous access in everyday life.

What a great thing to download from Mr Gutenberg
Some pickle brine seems like it would be particularly effective in creating a lovely rust patina.

Oh no ... anyway.
He predicted that he would sell a quarter-million of those $80,000 shipping containers on wheels a year?
Unfair comparison. Shipping containers are actually useful.
And are looking quite nice in comparison.
