$800 Million Worth of Cybertrucks
Cybertrucks aren't worth the glass of the molotovs that ignite them.
Worth and cost are not synonyms.
It’s funny. They target people who burned the trucks, but insurance claims are probably their best chance to get paid for the trucks.
Until insurers decide they're too expensive to cover.
Light em up!

Actually saw a Tesla with a Trump/Vance sticker on it today. I was already at 92% hate for Tesla. Thanks for making that 100% today stranger.

Oh no, anyway...
Sounds like any fires we see now should start as insurance fraud investigations
Can confirm. Do not want.
How is that $800 million WORTH? Is it a figure of speech?
Yes it's a common phrase. If an apple costs $2, and you have 10 apples, then you have $20 worth of apples.
Hopefully they all ~~catch fire~~ sell.
Fucking autocorrect am I right?
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

All those retailer investors are going to get fucked so hard. They don’t even know they’re getting fed lies and end up bailing out the original investors who actually have money.
I mean, if they are gonna get rid of it, I will take one for free. Free EV is a free EV if it breaks down 5 days later then I am in the same situation I was before getting the truck.
Except it still cost you money. It still needs to be registered, titled, and plated. This means you will be in the negative after only having it for 5 days.
also the ~$5000 (?) clear coat... lol i bet those are all getting rusty in whatever lot they're stored in.
This is the only situation I would support some backwoods jackass converting something to diesel and "rolling coal" in it.
I know it will never happen, but I would find in genuinely hilarious.
If Chevy had released this truck it would have been ended up like the HHR but worse.
It’s not even good at being a truck, aside from the other shit.
Well you could take it camping and cut vegetables with the doors. ...and use all the rust coming off it as an ingredient in your diy pottery glaze...that's about it tho.
At least the HHR had a functional rear-view mirror
Is that price at full retail price or cost of parts. Either way, sounds like someone misjudged the market by a lot and needs to be ejected from their CEO role.
The photograph that says it all. Let's remember Elon Musk for the Nazi that he is.
This photo is taken out of context, though. I mean, he slapped his chest before the salute, and he did it twice in a row... Ah shit nevermind, he's a Nazi.
The hand on his heart really does make you think twice about the meaning though, just like it did with that other guy.
Wow. I had no doubt it was a salute, but seeing them side-by-side is chilling

Wait, now it's only $700 million. $400 million. $34 million... And it's $6.50.
Yeah, I guess there is someone out there who would buy a fleet of dumpster cars for $6.50.
I'd buy one for about tree-fiddy.
What!? You gave that damn monster another tree fiddy?
sprays loch ness monsta spray
Not today!
“$800 million worth”?
“Nobody wants”?
Sounds like creative accounting…
They tried that in Canada and got caught. They'll get a free handy for doing it in the US under Tump though.
