The brand collapse is even better
FIFY

A March recall—in which Cybertruck panels were literally falling off due to faulty glue—betrayed the number: 46,096 sold in the 14 months since deliveries began. That’s less than 3,300 per month.
They didn’t just use glue to attach automotive panels. They used faulty glue.

I'm shocked they sold 46,000 of those things at all, I'm also shocked people are still buying the others, why would you buy a car from a company that is about to collapse? Particularly one with the documented production quality of this one?
replies:
I have no idea why Tesla thought that the Cybertruck would sell well enough to justify the production numbers.
They should have did the Roadster first instead and then the Cybertruck, both run in 5k lots to meet orders. Making such niche vehicles like it was going to be bought up like an F150 or a Civic is just dumb.

With so few sold, why the hell are there soany around my neighborhood?!
Oh no, I live in douchebag central.

Who would buy a car that looks like a trash dumpster?
replies:
3,300 per month. So ~110 per day? Across the world? That's amazing.
I wish I could see the breakdown on sales by state, or even better, by county. I see them a lot in my east coast region, and I know people see them a lot in areas of California. I wonder how many weren't sold in coastal, and/or blue areas.
replies:
How many did they make? I'd be happier if they made like 500k and they're just collecting dust.

Still doubt musk will learn anything from it

One would expect the stock to be around 5 dollars after this, but the US economy is such a scam.
replies:
The Cybertruck's design and styling is a reflexion of the person who willed it into existence: it's tone-deaf and disconnected with the reality of what people want. That's what you get from someone who has zero empathy and thinks he understands other people but actually doesn't.
replies:
It's kind of akin to the DMC DeLorean, in more than just the chunky aesthetic aspects. That vehicle was a really bad one, too, with regard to build quality and reliability. The Back to the Future movies are probably the only reason there is any cultural relevance to them, after the 80's ended.
replies:
Let’s not act surprised that a company headed by a fucking Nazi is unpopular these days
replies:
Hope it genuinely does collapse and he learns something.
replies:
yeah, this is a "cope" article from dudes I've never heard of before. nothing is collapsing, the shit is still worth insane multiples of P/E, they still sell HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of model 3s (close to 400K per annum) and this joke of a "journalist" conflates the unpopularity of the (higly impractical and niche) cybertruck with "teslas".
replies:
These articles are all full of shit. Unless Tesla's stock drops to zero, they're doing just fine. In fact, their stock has been going up since all this bullshit started happening. It's unbelievable.
It's such a shame. The Model Y looks pretty nice.
