I guess this means Tesla won't be losing money making Cybertrucks. Calls.

Belzebutt 2025-09-13 13:23

They still make Cybertrucks? Isn’t there a year supply sitting around on parking lots?

CRXCRZ 2025-09-13 13:40

It's strange how I see less of these things even though they continue production.

sunsetman120 2025-09-13 13:42

They can produce lots, it's elling them that's the problem.

About a billion dollars worth rotting in the sun. Buy one get one free coming soon.

RWD? A Prius would be a better car in the snow

Hey, Tesla employee reading this. It's not your fault.

0xCODEBABE 2025-09-13 14:30

it's their fault for not quitting

Just for fun, I logged into the Canadian Tesla site and do a dummy order for a CT. I couldn't get one built, I had to order from inventory only. It was the same 6 months ago.

Dang, their sales will skyrocket now.

WallabyInTraining 2025-09-13 14:48

They're still there, try to search among the other lawn ornaments.

Can't quit on a H1B visa.

Unrelated but I just ten minutes ago had the immense pleasure of watching my local rural small town cop pull over a CT towing a huge speedboat for going 50 in a 35mph zone on our rural two lane road. Made my morning. Take that crap back to the big city.

MonsieurReynard 2025-09-13 15:32

Aren’t they getting replaced by sexy robots anyway?

CartographerNo2717 2025-09-13 15:43

Boston Dynamics robots work at Tesla?

Footbag01 2025-09-13 15:51

Theyre going to discontinue the entire CT lineup soon. They aren’t selling enough to justify it. Repair bills are turning CT customers against Tesla.

MonsieurReynard 2025-09-13 17:01

Oh sorry I meant S3XY robots

mrbuttsavage 2025-09-13 17:16

The rate that get cyberstuck vs the rate of production is surely very close.

RightInThePeyronie 2025-09-13 17:37

Towing? So what, recharging every 100 miles or so? So stupid.

Belzebutt 2025-09-13 17:53

“Worth”

MonsieurReynard 2025-09-13 18:06

Yeah I wondered. Like a 20 foot speedboat with a big outboard engine out back, quite a large and heavy load. Took him half a mile to find a place large enough to pull over lol.

Apprehensive-Box-8 2025-09-13 18:27

Wasn’t that the version that supposedly would take CT sales to new heights because people were waiting for the cheaper option? Kind of like the Model Y sales were supposedly skyrocketing after the refresh…

Still currently dumb. Maybe once they get the high density solid state batteries figured out. Pointless pain in the ass, given other options.

ad-astra-specta 2025-09-13 20:28

That sounds more like a threat than an offer.

Electrik_Truk 2025-09-14 04:12

I have a Lightning and tow all the time, including a boat. But, majority of the time it's well less than 150 miles (especially a boat)

RightInThePeyronie 2025-09-14 04:27

Still sounds miserable. God forbid you have to charge mid trip, next thing you're dropping the trailer etc. Taking an hour plus out of your lake day to find a charger in a potentially rural area, unhook trailer, charge, rehook trailer etc. Also extremely limiting if you want to venture further out.

Electrik_Truk 2025-09-14 04:32

Maybe it's just me, but I don't see a scenario in my life for towing a boat 150 miles to use it. Now I have towed a nearly 10 ft tall Jayco 250 miles. Wasn't bad really. Camped at a state park for a night at about the half way mark. Truck was fully charged in the morning. I actually really enjoyed it, especially with kiddos that can't sit still for long.

sajnt 2025-09-14 05:31

When towing with electric the weight doesn’t matter much. The aerodynamics and rolling resistance are the major factors. I’d bet a boat is the ideal thing to tow and they are not that heavy.

dtyamada 2025-09-14 06:09

It's almost like everyone that wanted one got one and everyone else read the reviews and knew to avoid the CT at any price.

Ok-Patient583 2025-09-15 03:30

Rearranging deck chairs on the titanic.

StartersOrders 2025-09-18 09:05

Weight absolutely matters if you’re on any type of slope whatsoever. If an electric vehicle is towing a 100kg trailer, it only needs extra power to tow an extra 100kg. If you increase that weight to a tonne then you need extra power to keep that tonne going up the hill.

sajnt 2025-09-18 12:58

Yes of course but for the most part you get a lot back when you go back down.
