And retail investors continue to bail out the investors with money who are actually making money. Watch out for that rug!
Cybertrucks are just sitting around, waiting for someone to officially label them the DeLorean of the 21st century.
Hey! You take that back! DeLoreans were always cool cars. Their demise wasn't due to lack of popularity, the company just had problems getting established, and ultimately didn't survive its initial growth phase.
Nobody despised the DeLorean, or it's owner. They just ran out of money, and he tried a desperate Hail Mary play, that didn't work.
Fuck Tesla. No bailouts for Nazis.
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.
My pet conspiracy theory has been that Elmo was hoping Trump would mandate that everything gov related has to drive Teslas.
So your saying one will be able to avoid ICE by simply escaping on days when its raining?
Or, by running through sand or mud!
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
They're only worth what someone would be willing to pay for them. What's the scrap value on a cybertruck?
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.
Already in the works:
State Dept. Plans $400 Million Purchase of Armored Tesla Cybertrucks
Can't wait to see how well it works to glue armored panels on.
That's just ridiculous. To spend money to remove infrastructure, out of hidden spite.
hidden?
Well barely. Their given reason is it's "not mission critical" which is a statement veeeeryyy far from "We are doing it out of spite for electric cars" or "We want our oil narrative to hold from our highest echelons of social hierarchy" or whatever other insane reason
Can't wait to meet the successor to M1 Abrams: the M2 Sad Tin Can.
