I'd pay five thousand dollars for one. Round off the sharp corners and put a Honda sign on it and BOOM I beat capitalism.
So then they have $0 worth of cybertrucks.
I wish the article would tell us how many units instead, for this very reason.
Or report their value as the scrap value or cost of materials
Last I remember they sold for $80k, plus that makes the math trivial, so... 10000 vehicles?
Wow that has so much more impact to me, I can really visualise the endless parking lots full of them.
That's literally in the second sentence of the article.
Just looked again and you're right lmao. I did read it, but somehow missed it.
No, we don't want the article to make us read. We want the article to grab our heads, pull our ears out and talk the information directly into our faces. You know, "tell us."
I was gonna say. Doesn't seem right that they can just add up the MSRP like that and claim it's millions worth of something if nobody's buying. Plus, I'd wager the manufacturing cost of all that is significantly lower.
-$800 million those weren’t free to build.
I'd love to know how much it costs to build each cybertruck, and visualise the other revenue loss of storing these, designing the machinery to build this shit and anything other costs that were factored into sales.
The big 3 used to need to sell something like 1/2 million cars before covering R&D costs. But that was also back in the 60-70s when they sold a million cars a year and designed it all on paper.
The cyber truck’s design was so stupid that it may have approached that level of r&d costs. Since bonding and forming suck thick Stainless steel isn’t trivial.
Came here just to upvote you.
If no one wants them, they're not worth anything.
Cut to the Trump administration buying them all for $250,000 each.
There's always scrap metal and selling the batteries for other purposes!

i flipped off two of these nazi dumpsters today
Eat shit, nazi
he probably does eat shit too. there's probably some ultra rich bullshit delicacy that is like essence of baby turds or something that has stem cells and electrolytes.
fuck him and his digestibaby shit.
Civet coffee?
Yes and now the stock is back above 300. I really don't understand these meme stocks.
All those preorders cancelled bc they lied about the price and the quality doesn’t match. Tesla was doing fine until the CEO got involved. Idk why those assholes wanted to give him billions of dollars as a bonus. Just absurd.
they probably want his name to be still have some recognition, because Xitter is a very useful tool for the right to control the supporters, that is more valuable than tesla.
And entire production lines configured to produce shit nobody wants.
Then why the hell is the stock back over $300?!?
Because modern stock market is not controlled by buying and selling but rather by derivative markets esp off the book derivatives
The Boring Company is propping up the price with the sales of NotAFlameThrowers to DOGE.

Yet their stock went up 20% past week...
The stock price isn't an accurate representation of the worth of the company. It's an accurate representation of the amount of bullshit the company CEO is filled with.
The economy is based on vibes and not the true value. However that doesn't mean they aren't allowed to borrow against those vibes, to avoid taxes.
So did other stocks. The Dotard flip-flopped on tariffs again.
waiting for someone to officially label them the DeLorean of the 21st century.
Please, nobody insult the DeLorean this way.
Tbh I'd take one for free. It might look kinda cool in my garden with plants growing out of it.
i would keep the battery, buy some solar panels, an inverter for my house, and sell the chassis as scrap metal
Sell them to ocean shipping companies .... they can tie a chain around them and use them as boat anchors
They'd probably (definitely) suck at that too.
Watch them rust quickly in salty water

if nobody wants them, they're not worth $800million
No wonder they're begging police departments to buy them.
A part of me wants the police to have them so they can be a cluster fuck for them to maintain.
Unfortunately, they'll maintain it with my tax dollars.
Mobile dumpsters? Port o potties for the homeless? The possibilities are endless.
There’s probably a tax write off in there somewhere for Elon. Nice silver lining.
