Tesla’s Cybertruck, once touted as “the World’s Toughest Truck,” now seems to be gathering rust in inventories across major U.S. metropolitan areas.
A recent count reveals that within 25 miles of some of the top 25 most populous zip codes, a staggering 1,246 Cybertrucks remain in unsold inventory. The total count nationwide of Cybertrucks waiting on a buyer is likely much higher, as these 25 mile segments only account for about half of the US population.
If each Cybertruck sells at the minimum price of $79,990, that’s about $100 million worth of what Ask Car Guys voted overwhelmingly for the Worst Truck Ever Made.
Here’s the data!
I’ll probably get shit for it, but I dig the look.
I would never buy a Tesla for numerous reasons, mostly because they are the Apple of car companys, which is anti-consumer and anti-repair, although Musk owning it is a big negative as well.
Out of curiosity, have you caught a glimpse of one in-person yet? IMO they look way more tacky up close
No worries.
Honestly, I ALSO dig bold design decisions. People hate the Subaru Baja. Puts a smile on my face every time I see one, it’s a wacky little truck that makes very little sense.
The Cybertruck… it’s almost hard to explain why it gets such an intense reaction. It’s Elon. It’s the dangerous design (like, the fires are absurd for any vehicles built in the 21st century). It’s how many promises fell through, like the bullet-proof windows not actually being bullet-proof, the “exoskeleton” is literally held on by glue, it’s a lousy unibody truck by any measure. Oh and it costs a bazillion dollars.
Maybe most of all, it’s the Cybertruck fans. They live in some alternate reality where all that stuff just isn’t true. To them, it is a badass truck, it is bullet-proof, not only is it not a lousy vehicle, it’s the best vehicle ever made. Forget the observable reality of how unpopular it is, they swear it will sell more than the F-150 (probably because Elon said it would). That really makes it impossible for me to like, I don’t like the way drinking THAT flavor of Kool Aid tastes.
