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.

    (Ignoring your last line joke)

    No his opinion is absolutely correct. Its unsafe on just about every consumer aspect. It was cutting off fingers. It was rusting. In a crash its a nightmare. I also Wouldn’t take one if it was free (unless im ok selling it without ever having to drive it)

    Its a murderbox coffin on wheels.

      There are a lot of testimonials from people who own the bastard things declaring that they’re virtually unsellable, by the way.
