Tesla showing off their lot of cybertrucks

The funny sub is still posting photos of stainless steel urinals and hurdurhhur because Cybertrucks are still rusting and on fire and have panel gaps, according to the hivemind. To each one’s own, I guess, but I love mine.

The Reddit hivemind seems to have a hate bonor for anything Tesla except Tesla drivers themselves.

People don’t need the hive mind to see that the trucks side profile is complete ass. Because of the poor design, it’s not a very useful truck. The front still looks good, but the back and sides are an abomination. Especially compared to the design of the other Tesla models.

[removed]

If you stare long enough at the picture, you can see Franz's face appear.

One can agree or disagree about the aesthetics, but what aspects make it not a very useful truck?

Lot of a lot of cybertrucks

The more people bitch about them, the more I wish I could afford one. It's got some issues but man it's cool.

[removed]

I want one so bad. And probably moreso that so many hate it

The bed design - it’s much tougher to reach over the wheel well to grab things from the back of a truck bed because of the slanted design and deep bed. I can’t speak to the bed door, but I don’t believe it’s as multi-functional as other pickups have become.

The hive mind of reality it's just reported here as well. If you want to ride the love boner why not try twitter instead of reality?

Aah the target market

I frequently park next to regular trucks, when parked, the highest point of the wall of the bed is still lower to the ground than many other trucks, since the ride height of the cybertruck is variable. If “ability to reach into the bed from the side” is how you define a useful truck, there are a lot of useless trucks out there.

People who ordered one and are waiting will love this picture. Seeing all those vehicles in a parking lot. /s

Need a poster of this.

I don’t own a real work truck, but this guy with an F-250 disagrees that the “bed height/design/shape for reaching in” is not a factor. https://x.com/coldavecrockett/status/1832057223020691931?s=46&t=DoVVkkNNzyjSQ6kKVjoB1w Conversely, I was happy to be able to fit 2 adult and 2 tween sized bicycles plus all our camping gear and STILL be able to close the rigid tonneau cover thanks to the design, but I also understand different folks have different needs.

Time to sell me one for $39,995.

There’s a reason the truck bed hasn’t changed in decades.

Have you ever used a cybertruck? Because this is most definitely not true at all. Sounds you’re just repeating made up talking points of Reddit…

[removed]

Price drop 1.99 coming.

Considering Tesla wants to make 150k/yr, that's ~17/hr.  So this photo would be about 2 hours production if we get to the target rate.  Not really a lot in the grand scheme.

There’s a “Tesla drivers suck” post in my local sub once a week.

🥸

The haters saying they can't sell them are truly unaware of the current build rate. Q3 numbers are going to impress.

[removed]

Q3 #s are going to show YoY decrease in overall sales or else there wouldn't be so much auto company-like incentives to push sales. We might see .99 or even 0% in Q4

I'm talking about the Cybertruck specifically since the post is showing Cybertrucks....

[removed]

Finally, I get it... the truck looks amazing from this angle, and situated in it's natural habitat... brothers and sisters in angular perfection.

But why care about him in the first place?

​ https://preview.redd.it/oc7zy2dxtkpd1.jpeg?width=275&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cb2fe993bc63efb66b407db56e7dc6c844512ab5

Funny considering FSD does a good job letting people in my lane. Even get “the wave” from people who don’t realize a computer did it.

What an odd question. Why wouldn't I care about the CEO of a company I may support? Especially one who injects himself into the limelight every day with positions I vehemently disagree with?

These trucks belong to other people who ordered one. Just because you’re waiting for one doesn’t mean it’s just sitting in a lot somewhere. Go to any big city with a service center and you’ll see 15-20 CT in the parking lot waiting to be picked up. There’s CT everywhere now. I see one twice a day. I used to see one every 3-4 weeks.

Fair enough - he’s just not on my mind as much I guess when I see a Tesla. If anything I think they’re a net positive to the world even with him.

Haha. I shared some info with my friends I probably shouldn't have. If you are having trouble getting over into another lane, wait until you see a Tesla, put on your blinker, and then merge. If they are using fsd, it will let you over.

Well, you don't care about all the asshole CEOs of other companies that are smart enough to keep themselves out of the limelight. You're punishing a great product built by great people just because of the one f*ing idiot at the top who can't keep his mouth shut. (Note, I'm a big fan of the work that Musk's *companies* are doing. I'm also a big fan of his technical and leadership abilities. But his (flip-flopping) politics and social stances are incredibly out-of-touch.)

Wow, you mean FSD isn't a typical asshole?

I mean isn't it obvious that I would care less about those that don't publicize their own personal things? Elon not only does this, but does it to such an extreme that it makes headlines constantly. I don't just disagree with him, I think he's become a bad person. Why would I support someone I have that knowledge of?

I do when I’m a shareholder.

Not desirable according to who? To you?

Yea. It tends to be very considerate of people. However, one thing to look out for is when 2 cars are merging into the same lane. The car doesn't see blinkers well from the side and won't recognize that the other car is getting over. If will avoid an accident and back off if the other car continues to move over, but it doesn't care about when the other person turned on their blinker. To not be an ahole on the road, it's best to let the person who used their blinker first be the first one to move over.

Except these are still $20k markup trucks that are all sold lol We are all waiting for the price drop... that won't come for a long while though

Yeah its only outselling ALL EV trucks combined at the current sell rate

The haters say they should not sell them be due to the extreme quality shortage and safety risks

It's been almost a year and tens of thousands of trucks sold for a +$20,000 mark up over retail, outselling all EV trucks combined at that price, and morons are still out there thinking CT was a failure Not sure how people breathe on their own

I prefer my CEO to purposefully drag his feet on EV transition for short-term profit, killing people with air pollution. And to settle for objectively less safe cars. Good people.

Non foundation series coming soon.

Same with the blinker stalk delete. On Reddit it means the worst car ever designed. In the real world people get used to it in 5 minutes and don't think about it again.

Honestly a car/truck that triggers fake woke people would be a great seller for conservative America. Cybertruck might end up being the spearhead for EVs making it into middle America.

Meanwhile Kia's literally trying to buy Tesla owners by paying them $1.5 k.

Those things are so ugly lol

I know someone driving an S for the past week who can’t get over the stalk-less design, so it’s not a non-issue

I mean most people I know in a trade with a pickup truck see zero utility in a cybertruck. They’re also not stupid enough to spend $100k on one, either. To each his own, but the big 3 know a lot more about utility than Tesla.

yea hes actually in the picture…

[deleted]

A big lot full of cybertrucks is the same telling tale of dealerships being full of new cars (which they're not nowadays)

I'm still waiting for my 50k$ launch price dumpster, might have to cancel and get my hundo back

I saw my first one up close and it had the most egregious gap I've ever seen. Whatever the long metal part is that runs along the glass and then that connects to the top left of the hood you could fit two quarters through. I don't know how anyone could say that is acceptable. You can't blame the hivemind for the fact that a large number of incredibly expensive vehicles are put together very poorly.

0.99 financing coming soon?

It's really going to depend on the person. I'd say most people can get use to it, but there likely people who can't or will take a lot longer. I personally had no issues with it when I drove my coworkers cyber truck.

Will likely land around 25,000+ trucks in 2024, but the ramp has gotten steep and 4680 batteries are no longer a bottleneck for CT so the numbers could get sneaky. They could technically double production right now and still have the batteries, which are also ramping along side of CT

> I mean most people I know in a trade with a pickup truck see zero utility in a cybertruck. This is such shit logic. Because I can't see how there might be utility in something, that must mean there is zero utility. People spend 100k on trucks all the time (in most cases very stupidly). [For the Month of July, The Cybertruck was just under half of all EV Trucks registered, clearly people like it.](https://www.theverge.com/2024/9/18/24247985/tesla-cybertruck-july-2024-sales-deliveries-match-all-ev-trucks) The business world looked at the first iPhone and thought, wow no physical keyboard, that's shit, you'll never get any work done on that.

How are the sales? So they justify these numbers ?

I’d pee in one of they didn’t have cams all over em.

When there was the recall for the pedal issue shortly after it launched, I believe it was around 3-5k sold and the numbers seemed very low. In July alone, it looks like there was 5k registered across the USA, so it seems like sales and production are ramping up. Tesla does not break out how many Cybertrucks they have sold in their reports it seems. https://www.theverge.com/2024/9/18/24247985/tesla-cybertruck-july-2024-sales-deliveries-match-all-ev-trucks

So Cal? So many of them here.

[deleted]

They're only selling 40k/yr. Q2 of 2024, they only sold 8755 units. The two million reservations? Those evaporated, and TSLA has announced that there's no longer a waiting list. What are they going to do with the additional 110k a year? They might make a good option for reef development in regions where coastal corals have been hit hard by climate change.

[removed]

Considering they are still only selling Foundation Series nearly a year later, sales seem to be doing just fine.

I have not driven a stalkless 3 or S, but with the steer by wire on the truck, it’s extremely convenient to have the thumb buttons right there.

So from what you said… People who bought these found out they sucked real bad and then just left them in the lot because of elon and won’t collect? /s!

I don’t know if it’s a failure or not. I don’t know if Tesla is making profit from the cyber truck or not. What I do know is if they had made a truck that was a bit more normal looking they surely would have sold a lot more. I will never believe that this design was the best way to make money on a Tesla truck.

2 million reservations haven’t “evaporated”, most just aren’t going to spend the extra 20-30k for foundation. Deferring.

Are you kidding? Even Musk thought they were going to have to stop the foundation series sooner. They may sell some internationally to keep the high margin, but after that the price drops $20,000 and makes it eligible for $7,500 credit so they'll sell as many as they can make. They're already selling about as much as all the other EV trucks combined and also as many as the entire Rivian sales.

What this its peak design we all have to drool over? https://www.ramtruck.ca/en

They irrationally hate it, nothing you say will dissuade that

Exactly, it’s another one of their talking points.

Is your point that other cars are ugly too? Literally nobody has said otherwise.

Not fair to compare Cybertruck to a real truck.

What an original comment. Never heard that before.

I don’t think this the flex they think it is…

Did it take all your brain power to come up with such an unoriginal comment?

I completely disagree and feel the market also disagrees. It was the highest demanded vehicle release in the history of the the automotive world. To say it would have done "better" if they made it more normal looking is a stretch and speculation at the least. Rivians look normal. F 150s look normal. They don't sell because they are boring next to the CT. People want a CT because it's different. It's ballsy. Its controversial. It's an attention getter like we have literally never seen, even among supercars. And most of all, whether people lose sleep over it or not, it does "truck stuff" better than the other EV trucks and most trucks on the road, outside of long distance towing.

Why would they leave money on the table? They're selling everything they make.

They don't sell because they don't have a charging network and no FSD.

You also subscribe to r/electricvehicles?

They’ve sold every one they’ve made at a big markup. How would a cosmetic change have boosted that?

> It was the highest demanded vehicle release in the history of the the automotive world. What does that mean?

Never claimed to be original. The fact that it isn’t is not surprising haha

I would wonder whether the difficulty is causing the attitude, or if the attitude is causing the difficulty.

Teslalation?

>It was the highest demanded vehicle release in the history of the the automotive world. What? Other vehicles don’t require years of pre-ordering and waitlist so there’s hardly any comparison anywhere.

By not turning off so many people from it. If you walk up to any Joe blow on the street and ask them their opinion of the cyber truck, chances are they say it looks horrendous.

[removed]

I mean, we cannot name any car that had as many pre-orders and sold as many with a $20k markup in the first year. There is literally no vehicle that was even close. If other cars would have taken "years" then they likely would have sales suffer, its not some bonus that it took that long. It's more of a testament that people actually waited the ridiculous extension and still bought them. The proof is reality, so it needs no explanation.

They literally aren’t

This is likely a photo from the gigafactory, not a dealership.

It means more people wanted to buy it and were willing to order one than any other car that has even been released. Can you think of a vehicle that had more sold at a huge markup in the first year? It doesn't exist

That's one opinion... but I've NEVER heard of a CT owner say that was why they didn't buy a Rivian or F150. People love how the truck drives, the tech and how it looks different.

They basically will. Inflation adjusted, that's 50k. With tax incentive, you'll be paying 52,250.

To each their own dude I would easily get one if I could afford it Edit: lol downvoted for saying you like the way the cybertruck look on a tesla subreddit you know you are on reddit when....

Re-read what they said. They are production constrained. They have sold as many as they can possibly make at a huge markup. You are not using your brain at the moment.

I mean hey if you like it go for it

Unsold Cybertrucks.

People monitor the production and registrations. They're at 2k per week. You can see the outbound shipping lot [cleared out](https://youtu.be/We-SFC_VF-Y?t=1022) for yourself. So yes, they are all sold and shipped. Given that they're still only selling Foundation you should be smart enough to figure that out yourself, but I guess not.

They literally are. Their production capacity and registrations are public knowledge

lol you really don't know how any of this works

Looks like art

Turning off people but also attracting others. The world’s opinion is greater than Reddit and obviously the haters are always the loudest, as is the rule with anything. They’re selling every single truck they make? Right now demand is outpacing supply still and they’re selling at crazy markup. The people saying it’s horrendous are likely those that can’t afford it anyways. Why please people who aren’t your prospective customers when you clearly are pleasing the ones that are?

Fine, just offer the damn configuration already. More than a few YT channels supposedly in the know recently started to reference the Cybertruck as a low volume vehicle which makes me wonder if another vehicle more important will debut in October along with robotaxi demos; I do not expect robotaxi to be a major focus for awhile but it sounds cool

Uhhh the f150 and rivian are both adapting nacs so they do? And fsd is literally a feature of a Tesla. So you’re saying they don’t sell because they aren’t a Tesla basically… that’s precisely the point everyone is making as you disagree with it by unknowingly also agreeing with it.

They will offer the configuration as soon as supply catches up with demand. Sorry, that's just the way it is. Anyone would do the same in their position.

[deleted]

Not until the current iteration at its current prices has demand that outpaces supply. They’d be stupid to.

In your opinion. It seems buyers think differently. And here you are commenting on a post about something you seemingly hate so even you can’t help but give it attention. Guess it’s something you just can’t seem to stay away from :)

Also I don't think it will end up being low volume. I think it will end up outselling F150 in 6ish years.

This is about as in your face of an EV that can exist and while the design doesn't knock it out of park for me their existence is such a media success that its hard for anyone who does see one not to know that it is an EV and for those who don't they likely will ask

You forgot to add “imo” because that’s exactly what it is. The hive mind is buying them, not sitting on social media being a keyboard warrior. That’s all that matters

This I actually agree with though. Turn signal stalk delete is objectively less safe. When it takes zero thought to hit a turn signal stalk, to even have to take a split second to figure out where the turn signal is, is an actual concern. You may not see the difference day to day but when a split second decision or a mistake can be the difference between a crash or everything arriving at their destination safely.

You must also think people buying sports cars or fast cars all race them too?

Production and registration numbers are public knowledge. Even a moron can see they’re selling everything they’re making at a 25-30% markup.

Bears - look at all those unsold Cybertrucks

Those are sold Cybertrucks, they're just not delivered yet.

If it was a problem it would be illegal.

And apparently no one there can park for shit.

Clearly not. Most pickup users don’t actually need a pickup, hence why I wish the cybertruck wasn’t a massive beast and was a more moderately sized pickup that wasn’t ugly.

How do you know how many want to buy the Cybertruck in its current form? If you order one now, you'll get it in a few weeks. That doesn't sound like there is that much demand.

With a supposed backlog of 2 million pre-orders, it seems odd that anyone can go to the Cybertruck order page and get something with an estimated delivery of "SEP - OCT 2024" for the AWD or "OCT - DEC 2024" for the Cyberbeast. How much pent-up demand is there if anyone with the means can get one that quickly? Seems like there must have been a lot of cancellations or deferments, probably because the price is waaaaay higher than the orignal bargain announcements.

Oh for sure. I'm sure 50% or more dropped off. 2mm trucks would be like 5 years of production haha Even then, it's still selling for $20k over the price that's even more than originally stated Just insane considering how many "experts" called it to flop. Literally the opposite in the most intense way haha

If you order a truck **with a $20k mark up for basically nothing,** then you'll get it in a few weeks or months. That's a huge detail you left out haha We have yet to see what the actual demand is for a retail priced CT, but lots of vultures await that day, who didn't want to waste $20k just to have one of the first ones.

i believe i answered that with my "if I could afford it" but thanks for sending encouraging words my way

That’s a pretty fair representation. They haven’t scaled to planned capacity yet and sell what the ramping production can support

Let alone walking and chewing gum

Enough that I now see one almost every time I drive somewhere in Cumming (yes), Georgia. If I'm seeing them that often here, I have to imagine they are getting pretty common in places like California.

Cells and packs haven’t been a bottleneck in 2024 fwiw

Rivian and Ford have had access to the Tesla Supercharger network for months, and the CyberTruck doesn't have FSD, as it hasn't been released yet for the CyberTruck.

Tesla uses dynamic pricing to adapt to market conditions. When the foundation series demand dries up, it’ll be switched to the regular version. And eventually, the lower margin short range This has been the playbook with all of their launches. Subsidize the start up costs by charging early adopters / influencers more then adjust for the masses

The frame snapping issue when the hitch is under load

Said as you defend the very unique, American-made cybertruck

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😣

Are they though? There's plenty of inventory already. Not to mention the warranty costs have to be through the roof

It’s legal to drive vehicles without airbags, but using that logic to imply that they’re not less safe would be stupidity.

Once the foundation series is removed, that time estimate will likely extend far out. If you are not on the waiting list for a cybertruck and want one new, now is likely your last chance to get one without waiting. Even if over half the list does not order, you’re still going to be waiting behind hundreds of thousands of customers.

[removed]

Just about 2700 in Texas, just since January. Growing by 400-500 a month. (Data per [https://www.dfwcleancities.org/evsintexas](https://www.dfwcleancities.org/evsintexas) ) `Jan '24 Feb '24 Mar '24` `.....34.....116.....338` `Apr '24 May '24 Jun '24` `....617.....901....1279` `Jul '24 Aug '24 Sep '24 (as of Sept 17)` `...1905....2454....2669`

They’re being sold under MSRP now used

Wait what? People are getting rid of these at alarming rates, taking a $30k-$50k loss. You’ll find them all day long on FB marketplace and other sites for just under $100k.

If 99% of the population agrees that a car is ugly, then it’s not a good car.. The production quality is also catastrophic with zero quality control and to top it all of, it is a rolling safety hazard for everyone involved. You can’t get that thing registered anywhere outside the US because of how dangerous it is. Also, the „most demanded car“ argument is BS. This is taken from the fact that this car had a bunch of non-binding preorders(with Tesla being one of the only car manufacturers to actually have preordering in that sense), most of which had been canceled. This car is a catastrophe

Tesla never published sales data, so you are making up BS numbers

It’s a commercial success, sure, but calling the CT anything but a failure is a stretch. And I mean that in a mechanical sense. These things are failing left and right. I’ve seen just a handful of these things on the road and already have seen them stuck on the side of the road or on a flatbed lol. I mean c’mon… there’s a huge risk you break it by taking it through a car wash 🤣

You believe a lot of media BS apparently Can't believe people actually think they will break in a car wash. Just amazing what people allow themselves to believe if they want to bad enough I'm sure you actually believed they were "rusting" too That shit was EVERYWHERE and like most other media BS, was a total lie.

Great point. I gave very conservative numbers that we can be sure of based on minimum run rates You are right in that it's surely wrong and on the low end.

I believe what I’ve seen with my own eyes. I thought the media were exaggerating, but to actually see it for myself actually blew my mind. Even in my neck of the woods I’ve seen a couple stranded. That’s not supposed to happen with brand new cars. I have a Model 3 with over 50k miles on it and not once has it had any mechanical issues, let alone stranded me. These things are stainless steel lemons. I honestly feel bad for the people that bought them and are going to be stuck with them, as no one will buy it from them.

There have been 0 CTs sold at "retail" so far. Its just the foundation prices Retail will be $80k and $100k

The AWD is $100k new. Thats selling it for the foundation price, not even retail How is that a $50k loss? LOL

Me too. I live in San Diego and know 2 people who have them and they both won't shut up about awesome they are. I see them everywhere. Don't feel bad, 99.99% of owners fucking love them. People thinking that introducing an entirely new truck platform from scratch, after 50 years of the same shit, and it just magically works perfectly with zero issues have never worked in manufacturing before, thats for sure

Well shit, I’ve just seen the markdowns. 50k might be off, but there are definitely some willing to take a huge loss to get rid of these lemons

A "catastrophe" that every single OEM wished they had their name on Outselling all EV trucks combined right now... literally. Think about how Ford and Rivian feel. Not good i promise. Opinions are welcome though. Just not shared sometimes. In this case the market clearly disagrees with you. I have no opinion, just reality.

Well, only time will tell. There are gonna be much larger sample sizes, but from what I’ve seen from personal experience, reddit, marketplaces, and other sites, we’re off to a rough start with these things. It’s gonna be an entertaining next few months though, that’s for sure 🤣

This is so ironically true

Keep in mind that 99% of reviews are usually people with problems. People who love their CT are out enjoying it, not posting on Reddit. Model 3 was literally the same way. Is it a bad car? No, just media propaganda and first owners of an entirely new platform of automobile that will inevitably have a few issues to start.

Is that a lot? I mean that doesn't sound like a lot to me

Compared to all other EV Trucks, it's a lot. Compared to the Ford F150 line, it's a tiny amount Really depends on how you define a lot.

They've hardly ramped production. My guess is that 1. they're ironing out bugs. 2. the demand aint really there. The execs know if they ramp too quickly they'll soon only be able to sell the cheaper one. At the moment they can sell all the $100k Foundation ones.

There are other autopilots on the market, but they are not as good. And yes, I do own two Teslas myself. Exactly because of those reasons. Not because of the "innovative design".

No, you're confused. What you're seeing are markdowns from "market price", because cybertrucks used to be hard to acquire so used cybertrucks would sell for more than retail. Now they've nearly caught up with pre-orders for foundation series, so the used price has settled to just below new foundation series price, where it should be. They still sell for above retail price.

I know that They are getting access. But this won't be reflected in the sales numbers for a long time.

I wish the price would drop so I could afford one but $80-$100,000 is too much

It's about as much as all other EV trucks combined.

third row up second from right is triggering my OCD - damn you Elon!

Confirmed, I’m down in Savannah. See one almost every time I charge

I would like to know what situations you’ve encountered where turning on or off your turn signal was a split second decision that meant the difference between life and death. Insert some joke about BMW drivers here.

Ha

I think the real bottleneck in the grand scheme for Cybertruck selling for less than the Foundation Series price is ramping the dry cathode cells. Probably why they're trying to keep FS alive as long as possible. https://www.techspot.com/news/104119-tesla-rolls-out-first-ever-cybertruck-dry-cathode.html

[deleted]

Yes they are. They already own 50% of the BEV truck market.

That’s a lot of Cyber Trucks

I guarantee you that they will stop producing this car in a year max because not enough people are stupidly enough to buy it

[deleted]

Lot of unsold Cybertrucks

The Cybertrucks fit together better than their panels do.

Looks like a solar panel field.

🤣🤣

Yes they are selling everything they make. But they are a long way from making 150k a year. Keep in mind that their goal is global sales. 150k spread over the entire world is not that many in each of the big markets. We will know they need to ramp up sales when they lower prices. And that isn’t a sign of panic when they do that. It is expected and planned that they will lower prices to increase sales. The somewhat surprising thing is that we haven’t seen those lower prices yet.

You can change your own car. But it's illegal to manufacture a car without an airbag.

[removed]

That’s certainly a lot of CyberTrucks

A year in, and they still haven’t sold thru the ones that cost $20k extra lol You sound like the Model 3 doubters from 2018

The frame snapping issue when the hitch is ~~under load~~ dropped onto concrete from a great height.

It wasn’t much height at all, and it doesn’t happen to other trucks. It also has caused trailers to be disconnected on highways. Trucks shouldn’t have aluminum frames

Again that just sounds like your opinion because the market proves that to be incorrect

I have an early reservation that I will never use. You want it? No one else wants it. I'm going to cancel otherwise.

Yep, it is shame that we had to do that. The mods on that sub are the same mods here.

I have told the mods to turn off DMs and chats. Only one of those messages we got a TEMP ban was given.... TEMP ban, not even a full reddit ban. The others didn't get anything. The sub is going to stay private for a bit but it will change to [restricted mode](https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/360060416112-What-are-public-restricted-private-and-premium-only-communities). This will be some time. The users that do follow me understand what that means. Back to why you will get banned for a comment like this. What you are doing is called [concern trolling](https://www.dictionary.com/e/slang/concern-troll/) you are doing this just to get a rise out of others and to get a response like this. You are hoping that others will jump on the bandwagon to help you. You are hoping to get that kick of hateful toxic upvotes. I'm really sick of the harassment that is going on towards the mods on all the Tesla subs. It has gotten to a new level. It might be because the toxic/hateful Cyber***** sub has nothing to do because the /r/cybertruck sub is now private. I have made two comments like this in the past 24 hours on two different subs. The sad part is you are going to be banned from all those subs because of the "Health and Safety" rule which on this sub is rule 1d. By making a comment like this you would have never gotten approved to join the /r/cybertruck because you are participating in bad faith. You are part of the problem.

Doesn’t work like that. Just cancel and let the next people in line get theirs earlier

Nothing you said makes sense. Lemons should be replaced with a new one, not given away at a 50% loss. Back to the psych ward…

Well I signed up for preorder about 6 months before it actually came out and within 3 weeks had a welcome to your Tesla order your foundation series now. It’s still in my account. When I signed up I figured I had a 2 year wait minimum not three months. So I’ve waited for the early adoption issues to iron out. So I wouldn’t say demand is high if they already offered me a ride. I do own a Tesla already though. Just checked account again. Says order now delivery sept. 99k. 119 for cyber beast.

The VINs are already in the high 30,000’s.

Hope they don’t need a car wash.

No one is going to by Elon's brand anymore. That's the nonsense.

I will cancel. Ugliest crap I've ever seen, and I've been a multiple car Tesla owner since 2014.

That’s a lot of unmoving inventory

[deleted]

Could be totally right! 25k is very conservative

No offense but literally no one cares These things are selling like mad

From a stockholder perspective, it would be a lot more impressive if the lot were almost empty.

Post some pics of your Cybertruck! I've seen some interesting wraps that offset the angles...

I don’t comment for your approval. It was a relevant opinion. If you disagree that’s okay.

I don’t comment for your approval. It was a relevant opinion. If you disagree that’s okay.

Indeed you did! Even though i disagree I respect your opinion, take care

Correct, this is my opinion. I assumed that was fairly obvious. I don’t hate, hate it a strong word, I simply find it ugly. I’m here because I love Tesla cars, but find this one ugly. I don’t understand the issue here?

I preordered the mid-tier one. I bet a lot of other people did too.

The owners are hoping to sucker in a buyer that’s completely ignorant to the trash heap that is the CT. They want to sell them before the inevitable failures happen. Lemons.

I can't get enough of these. Sad I haven't seen one on the road in a couple weeks.

> taking a $30k-$50k loss. Only if they bought at a premium from flippers.

Indeed. I don't know the number of people that have passed on the Foundation series. I ordered in September 2023 and I got the offer a month ago and passed on it. Now a $45-$50k RWD Cybertruck. I would consider selling the MY for that.

I don't know if they're a failure, but I judge the hell out of anyone who drives one. Biggest douchemobile to hit the market in decades.

I think the hate is a big part of why they are so successful. Without outspoken opinions like yours, they probably wouldn’t sell nearly as well Can’t imagine how fun it must be to leave other trucks operated by haters completely in the dust People get mad as it is when my 3P embarrasses their V8s haha can’t imagine a CT that runs 10s. Just insane

I need this as a wallpaper

They look like metallic coffins

That looks like some 90’s shitty computer art. And god damn that’s an ugly ass truck.

Hopefully in line at their new home at the local transfer station, where no one has to look at them

[deleted]

You have to cross your eyes and say "Franz von Holzhausen" three times fast without messing up tho....

It does remind me of one of those magic eye puzzles from my childhood

Why would the warranty costs be higher than a model X?

Why wouldn't they be? It's a new and more abusive self argument

Because they took $100M in deposits on a broken promise

I think gullwing doors are more of a warranty liability than anything on a cybertruck. And most backbone components of the cybertruck are improved versions that they've learned upon from previous models.

Really?

[deleted]

We shall see. I think it is going to be wildly popular once people realize what it is.

Waiting to be recycled into LG refrigerators.

If only they were built indestructible and not like toys.

Pos

Penrose tiling.

Well I think a $45k Cybertruck will never happen. We just had too much inflation in 2022 and 2023, so a price like that is gone. But maybe someday not too far from now there will be a $60k Cybertruck.

Really, you think less than 1 year of sales is indicative of success? Do you know how trends work? Have you heard of the H2 Hummer? DeLorean? Sent huge waves... but not successful. You're also forgetting how 80%+ have cancelled their pre-orders, and a years long backlog turned into anyone can buy one today.

They'll be back on that lot for servicing soon enough lok

They'll be back on that lot for servicing soon enough lok

Zero carbon emissions... but the libs hate him.

Please take your meds

The edit to your comment just shows that you are here to be a rule 1.

Just go somewhere else. You are adding absolutely nothing to this discussion. Tesla is still selling millions of cars.

> Fine, just offer the damn configuration already. I see you don't understand how running a business profitably works.

And you left out that the Cybertruck only had "reservations" (not actual pre-orders) for $100 that required no commitment and were for a $40k truck, not a $100k truck. There is no way to gauge the actual demand based on those reservations.

This is what the local Tesla service place looks like lol

That’s a lot of trash, reminds me of the Pacific Ocean plastic patch.

It's a tranzit zone. They wouldn't have built them if they didn't already have the buyers lined up.

I got mine 9/5 276xx and the same week Sara video with vin 34 k could be 40k plus

Elaborate. Why not?

You're kidding, right?

Looks like a Jean Michelle Jarre album cover.

You're comparing the entire year of 2023 (25k F150 Lightnings) to just the month of July (5k Cybertrucks). As for source, the Verge was cited in the parent comment.

Typical internet. You have no idea. Absolutely none.

We‘ll see

Where did you come up with "80%+ have cancelled their pre-orders"? Because I'm going to go out on a limb and say you completely made that bullsh!t number up because you wanted a number that supported your narrative.

> all the things people— who actually need a truck day to day— use them for And the majority of truck buyers don't actually need a truck. So.... Do you laugh at the people driving big trucks to buy groceries? Or do you assume they pull skid steers the rest of the week?

Same reason we've been driving gas vehicles for a century? So why does Tesla exist?

Did you know that motorcycles don't have turn signal stalks? When is it EVER a split second decision to turn on a turn signal? Seriously. What in the hell are you talking about.

Just give it time. Unless Elon removes himself from Twitter, stops alienating his core customer base, or worse, gets himself jailed, TSLA is going to continue to hemorrhage customers, its sales will continue to slump, and the TSLA board will have no one but themselves to blame. If he doesn't cut himself off from social media, the board should replace him soon. The window is closing.

Typical stupidity of Reddit. Make crazy claims with zero repercussions. And if something even remotely close actually happens, then claim "see, I saw it coming!" But then concurrently never make mention of all the other times you're wildly wrong in your prediction.

Or how many they can’t sell…

80% have not canceled their preorders. You literally just made that up. Most of Tesla’s nearly 2m preorders are still in play. We’re just waiting for the non-foundation series to land.

Making up numbers doesn't help your opinion

I don’t laugh, because the implications aren’t funny. But also I’m specifically talking about where I live, a place in which far fewer trucks are purchased for vanity alone. This ain’t the suburbs.

This is an outbound logistics lot. It’s just a field; there aren’t pavement markings. Who tf cares if they aren’t in picture-perfect grids. They did a reasonably good enough job to be pack in vehicles, which is the only thing that matters for them

Lmao by mentioning motorcycles you literally helped me prove my point about turn signals being safer when their position doesn’t change relative to where you’re steering and hand position. But you’re also too dense to know that you’re doing that r/confidentlyincorrect is gonna love this

>Where did you come up with "80%+ have cancelled their pre-orders"? This thing called reality. Leave your little bubble of /r/TeslaMotors and realize people everywhere have been cancelling orders since they announced new range and pricing. > Because I'm going to go out on a limb and say you completely made that bullsh!t number up because you wanted a number that supported your narrative. What narrative? What do I have to gain? Look at the numbers dude.

Way to show investors that inventory isn't moving. "i'M A gEnIus."

If you look you can see painted lines on pavement.

ugly ass truck lol

What do you mean? EVs inherently are faster at launch because they are EVs (not some crazy CT feature). But that diminishes quickly after the first 1/8th mile. I love EVs, but it’s a bold claim that you are leaving anybody in the dust. And who cares anyway? Don’t be the douche nozzle who keeps racing random people at stop lights because you think you are special - Teslas are extremely common nowadays. Nobody cares.

I track my 3P. Its plenty quick to \~120 Dyno'd over 500 whp so way understated power from Tesla Have nothing to prove to you and certainly don't care what anyone's opinions are who have probably never driven a 3P. I own the car and know the results.

the pre-orders were for better specs too. Not only are the released versions significantly more expensive than the original announcement, they are also dramatically lower range. Even if one orders the not-available-yet range extender battery, the range will not match the announcement, and that would be at an even higher premium. The original CT was a value proposition. Even taking inflation and the foundation premium into account, this is a no longer the case.

I inherently started looking for differences and/or Waldo.

Ah I get what you’re saying now by “$20k markup.” I thought you meant they were still very inflated on the used market as compared to new when in reality they’re going for less than purchase price. I usually check carsandbids for easy data on this sort of thing.  https://carsandbids.com/search/tesla/cybertruck

What an ugly sight

The CyberTruck has had 4 recalls total. A recall for windshield wiper motor driver. A recall for loose trim pieces. A recall for accelerator pedal problems. A recall for incorrect icon size on warning lights The accelerator pedal problem was fixed with a rivet when there were few trucks to fix. The lose trim was easily fixed at the service centers. The incorrect icon size was fixed with an OTA. I don't know if they replace the windshield wiper motor or just the PCB module that drives it. To date it is the only recall of financial significance. I am not saying it will be the last being a new vehicle. On the other had BMW is recalling 1.5 million cars for brake issues. BMW estimates the cost of addressing this recall to be in the "high three-digit million euro amount" for the third quarter of 2024. This is due to using a new braking system from Continental. Various BMW models produced between June 2022 and August 2024 are impacted, including select X series (excluding X3 and X4), 5 and 7 Series, as well as some Rolls-Royce and Mini models.

A piece of shit?

Demand is definitely lower than they originally anticipated, its clear from the reservations that many people are waiting to see what happens because of various feelings from "too expensive", "not enough range" and "I dont want to beta test this". In another 3 years I would imagine it will be a very high selling vehicle as long as they fix some of the big failure to deliver items.

Definitely a LOT of people passed on the Foundation series. Even if they drop the price $20k, I dont want the care with the current range and the condition of production. If they fix that, I would pay the price of a foundation series. But I need over 400 mile range for towing.

Every auto has recalls, usually at the cost of the supplier. However warranty and recalls are two entirely different things.

True, while I dont agree with the poster you responded to... there is also truth that very few ordered a 330 range Truck. All the information I found was overwhelmingly people ordered the 400 or 500 mile range Truck. Which does not exist right now. And the current plan to achieve it is to take away 1/3-1/4 of the truck bed. I think we can all agree we cannot assume we know what will happen with preorders. I know I am waiting until they give me 450+ range vehicle. Thats what the GMC Sierra EV is and theres no reason Tesla cant match that.

Maybe. If there never is a cheaper Cybertruck, I won't ever buy one. People said the same thing about Model Y and I got mine for $35k.

[deleted]

I understand that, but thats why I specifically mentioned other trucks already have that range. Its not a big ask to provide an option that matches their competition. Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra and the Rivian all have 400+ range ev truck options.

And there is mine... more than a week without even moving from Austin

[deleted]

No need to get defensive. I think Tesla could probably get away with 400+ miles better than other manufacturers. Is it really bad to want that? Is it bad to want something close to what they originally teased when we know its possible?

[deleted]

I do the same without FSD :)

Because they can’t sell them??

That’s a bunch of ugly right there.

The Delorean father and Aztec mother are very proud of their offspring.

If only all this hoopla can make standard vehicles much cheaper.

Excuse me sir, you're parked behind me

big mistake, now there will be the news "unsold cybertrucks pilling up, bad news for tesla"

I've driven with hand controls all my life, with various solutions for button-based indicators as well as normal OEM stalks. Indicating with both right and left hand depending on the install, even though i have left hand on the wheel and right hand on the throttle/brake. Then I drove with a yoke for 1.5 years and to me the position-argument is pointless. There are HUGE differences between the tactile zones for the right and left indicators - i genuinely do not understand how people have a problem with it. I found it easier than many widely used disability adaptions. Granted it's a small sample size; but *every* person who drove that car (a 2023 Model S) got used to it within five minutes.

Id say there’s a 1% chance of that ever happening

Maybe not globally but in the US I think it is much higher than 1%.

Thanks for making my point?

It’s the Edsel of Tesla. They will pull it by 12 months’ time

I don't think so. The design is a deal breaker for way too many potential buyers. Elon is an idiot for pushing for a N64 video game design instead of something refined that looks like a Tesla like Rivian did.

This picture is actually terrifying to me

That’s a whole recall!

Trend buying is one hell of a disease.

Think this is a trend? Just wait until they start dropping prices to retail

It looks even more like pixelated bukkake.

You know how stupid the Cybertruck is right? Every single part has an issue, and it fell short on almost every promise that was made. The only one it didn’t fall short at was acceleration, which is *totally* what truck owners need for work.

Actually I am well versed with the engineering in the truck. If you don’t like it you’ll hate cars in the future once other makers figure out 48v Ethernet and steer by wire etc. Also, apparently you don’t know anyone who owns them It replaced my friends F250 for work and he won’t shut up about how awesome it is, best car he’s ever owned etc

Parking lot of garbage.

I feel like if you made a reservation then you clearly liked or didnt care. I am the former, I dont like the look of the Cybertruck, but knowing tesla software which is the best around and the perfromance they originally sold, I really dont care what my car looks like. If they get the vehicle closer to what they sold me on in 2018 or whenever that was... I will buy it even though I think its ugly as sin.

But it's not just about looks and performance and software, is it? Or is it? I mean, I'd have thought most people spending this sort of money on a vehicle would have an unspoken list of requirements, along the lines of: * trim doesn't fall off * towing hitch doesn't break when you stand on it * windscreen wiper motor doesn't burn out * ~~doors don't fall apart when you slam them~~ (OK, this one is a bit of an exaggeration) * accelerator pedal doesn't break off * body panels don't have big gaps between them * flatbed cover doesn't leak * windscreen doesn't spontaneously break * occupants aren't trapped inside after a crash I could probably come up with more by scrolling through the posts here, but I'm sure you get the idea. This vehicle needs a lot of re-engineering before it can meet most people's basic requirements. If Tesla do that, it could be an amazing vehicle for all the right reasons instead of, as is the case currently, all the wrong reasons.

I don't get it. Zero emissions? How do you make the batteries? Where does the electricity the truck uses come from? Just because we don't see the emissions doesn't mean they're not happening.

Is the friend in the room with us right now?

These packed up for the Russian meat waves?

All I see is cyber junk

"Emit" = produce or discharge.

Not at 100k it won’t…

That picture would indicate otherwise no?

Are you not reading the thread or something?

Swiss Army Knife of trucks. I want to be able to go into the back country without getting "AZ pinstripes." No, I won't be wrapping. Waiting for the $79,990 non-FS AWD.

Yeah, I get that. But, why does it matter? I mean... When you store energy you always lose a little bit of it and most energy (at least in my country) comes from coal burning, that plus the weight of the batteries which makes the vehicle heavier. I just don't get EVs while the energy use to power them doesn't come from renovable sources.

Cause no one is buying them

No, they make 2,000 a week. This is the parking lot at the end of the assembly line which is constantly being cleared out.

I live in San Diego 3 people I know have them already You’re really going to hate how many CT are on the road soon bud. Enjoy that

I'd say the hate has more common sense and evidence than the people that love these dangerous impractical POS vehicles

the aesthetics are nice, it's too bad they're dangerous and poorly made

no software is going to save the underwhelming realistic range it came with, and in about 3 years we're gonna see how well the metal exoskeleton is gonna hold up with oxidation.

Yeah not as cool as… baseball cards i guess

When you park them this way (“block stowed” in industry parlance), it’s usually because you have way more invent than demand, or they are being held for some type of campaign. In the case of the CT, it could be both.

It’s not gonna last long certainly, they’re gonna disappear within 15 years.

yeah , I'm not hip. I consider resale value, reliability, and safety when purchasing vehicles but I guess you CT fans aren't into those things

Not really sure that's a selling point for most people. I know Americans love stupidly big trucks and all that but they have their utility

Yeah thank God for those giant hulking slabs of rare-Earth metals that are incredibly environmentally destructive to mine for solving the issue of carbon emissions

If you need this explained, the point is that a large chunk of the public is wildly ignorant of the fact that it is not in any way a piece of shit.

This is not the flex they think it is.

So exactly what people said about Model S, Model 3 and Model Y? Cool

Remind me again, how long did it take for the Cybertruck to launch after it was initially shown off?

looks like they could be the ones behind Rivian’s lot fire.

Shouldn’t those be with their buyers?

Depreciating assets.

Bunch of trash at a dump

I agree and so does the rest of my family. I like Tesla and would have ordered the truck had it not looked like something my 6 year old designed in Minecraft!

They're a lot harder to make than they thought.

Unsold ones heading for the crusher

I have one and have started seeing two or more others per day herein Austin. Sometimes more.

Can’t sell them? Good

You just watched whistling diesel's video to come up with all those faults. None of that is the normal issues people will have. I do believe they'll have to come up with a fix for the trailer hitch issue, but not sure how or when. No one slams their doors as hard as that....

And that’s just a small sampling of the ones with flaws that will eventually force a million teslas to be recalled for being pieces of shit.

Waiting patiently…

Where is the cyber truck song when we need it 🤣

Agreed, they need to fix the vehicle, looks to me dont matter, the range definitely does.

I would consider most of that under my comment of "perfromance they originally sold". I expect all of that to be fixed before I am interested.

Still fugly.

What an awesome sight!

Elon expects us to believe that this is NOT computer generated. It looks so awesome that it doesn't look real.

I’m seeing a lot of stranded capital.

Dystopia

You sure that's not the Dempster Dumpster factory?

Maybe once they are at 20000 I will buy one

Has anyone priced out insurance for a Cyber Truck for Toronto?

All of them heading to russian SMO forces

It's not just battery hopium. The Silverado EV 3WT has an MSRP of around $70K and an EPA range of 393. The Silverado RST has an MSRP of around 96.5K and an EPA range of 440. Sure, they've got larger batteries and lower MPGe, but they are available today.

Don't know how I missed your reply, but your claim is not even remotely true. I mentioned a motorcycle because it's a button press with a thumb - exactly like the stalk delete is in a car. Hold your hands at 9&3 like you're supposed to on a steering wheel and your thumb easily reaches the buttons. No different than a motorcycle, except that you're forced to have your hands in the proper position on a motorcycle as opposed to a car where people develop all manner of bad driving behaviors.

What do you call 5 recalls within the year if not failure?

Damn, only 5?! For a brand new truck platform made from scratch? Including over the air "recalls"? Impressive to engineers and manufacturers - fuel for out-of-industry haters

Okay wrong foot. All I’m saying is 5 seems like a lot. And my biggest concern is that platform you mentioned isn’t even secured to the tow hitch that well. If you’re sure it’s safe to tow, risk your family not mine.

I watched it tow a 35,000 lb sled further than an F-250 super duty could with no signs of stress at all. So from what we know, under normal towing conditions, it’ll stand up to anything the 2nd most powerful truck you can buy would be able to throw at it. I doubt people even need to tow 10k very much but it’ll handle over 3x that much to you want Now, I don’t recommend bottoming your hitch out from a 6’ drop onto a slab of concrete because that will break any truck

Dear Tesla, can I have one so I can promote it in my city? Thanks. -Tesla fan
