Tesla pulls out all the stops as Cybertruck sales grind to a halt (www.arenaev.com)

Tesla Cybertruck appears to be facing significant sales challenges. After initial hype faded, and over a million reservations turned out to be as real as unicorns, Tesla is now enabling leasing options and free upgrades to move its inventory of the futuristic pickup truck. The company's recent silence on the Cybertruck, even omitting it from their earnings call, speaks volumes about the situation.

Tesla initially projected sales of 500,000 Cybertrucks annually and established production capacity at the Giga Texas for 250,000 units per year. After working through the initial reservation backlog with fewer than 40,000 deliveries, the automaker is now struggling to sell the remaining vehicles.

Is this the one they let musk design? Feels like a Simpsons episode...

I guess if Hitler was allowed to design a car, Musk didn't want to be left behind.

To be fair to Hitler, his cars weren't trash

And he's the guy who killed Hitler, so there's that.

That's it! We need to retire that joke or at least give it a 8 year rest 🤣

Can't say that about anyone else. Dudes an absolute monster but there's a couple Silver linings
