I would pay 10 bucks to use them in my survival kit as a fire starter.

I am expecting them to end up as ICE technicals, used to hunt down dissidents like...checks notes...American citizens, children, and the elderly.
So your saying one will be able to avoid ICE by simply escaping on days when its raining?
But they sold $43 million in 72 hours! /s
maybe they should try making their cars not ugly as sin
The main flaw of that thing is its bad engineering. The design was meant to be polarising and if it was actually a good car, it would work in its favour.
They are also larger then expected or needed. The one I see at work just barely fits in the parking spaces, width wise.
But that goes for pretty much any pickup truck. The whole category is an affront to common sense.
They are really going to have to slash prices to move those trucks. 50%,60%75%? Even then will anyone want them?
You know, by stock market logic, this would mean they aren't actually worth $800m
Simple economy actually. Supply exceeds demand, value on the market is lower.
On the stock market, you can do all kinds of fuckery to gain from this.
Stock market logic, sell one cybertruck for $1m and your whole inventory is now worth 10x
If the stock market had anythign to do with logic Tesla wouldn't be worth more than all other car manufacturers combined
Bag holders.
Next week: US Department of Defence announces purchase of fleet of Cybertrucks.
Can't wait to meet the successor to M1 Abrams: the M2 Sad Tin Can.
Time to bury them in the desert right beside the ET Atari cartridges.
That is only if they catch fire.
I’ll pay one thousand dollars cold hard cash for a new cybertruck
I'll give 'em tree fiddy
To salvage the materials and resell them or build something else from it?
You couldn't pay me enough to take one those monstrosities.
If they came with the software tools and keys necessary to rip out all their bullshit and install my own OS then I'd consider takin one for free.
Even removing the software, you'd still have something most of the world considers not fit for the road. You'd have to replace almost all of it and at that point you're just building a new car from scratch.
Just be sure you have enough savings for the inevitable repairs, tows, etc.
I want to drive one into a brick wall. Not with me in it or anything. I figure I could do it just by setting it to auto-drive into a painting of a tunnel Looney Tunes style.
I could do the auto-drive I wouldn't mind
