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.

    It’s hard to find insurance for it, it’s objectively terrible at its job, that’s very few mechanics that can service it, It isn’t available in Europe, it has terrible quality control issues, It is made by a company with terrible customer service, and it is made by Nazi

    So many reasons not to buy it.
