Next week: US Department of Defence announces purchase of fleet of Cybertrucks.
Can’t wait to meet the successor to M1 Abrams: the M2 Sad Tin Can.
You know, by stock market logic, this would mean they aren’t actually worth $800m
Stock market logic, sell one cybertruck for $1m and your whole inventory is now worth 10x
If the stock market had anythign to do with logic Tesla wouldn’t be worth more than all other car manufacturers combined
Stock market logic, sell one cybertruck for $1m and your whole inventory is now worth 10x
Time to bury them in the desert right beside the ET Atari cartridges.
If nobody wants them, then they are worth $0.
Jokes on you, I’d pay $1 for the lot.
They’re worth something as scrap, I’m sure.
You could definitely sell those for more then $0. The batteries alone aren’t cheap.
I was debating if I’d be willing to take a free cybertruck, your comment reminded me i could take it straight to the scrap yard
So somewhere inbetween as the article says “more than 10,000 units” and “$800m” so they appear to be valuing them at ~$80k/unit which is ridiculously optimistic.
My guess is closer to 1/3rd of that value but nobody likes to lose half a billion in the blink of an eye
I’ll pay one thousand dollars cold hard cash for a new cybertruck
To salvage the materials and resell them or build something else from it?
Just be sure you have enough savings for the inevitable repairs, tows, etc.
You couldn’t pay me enough to take one those monstrosities.
If they came with the software tools and keys necessary to rip out all their bullshit and install my own OS then I’d consider takin one for free.
Even removing the software, you’d still have something most of the world considers not fit for the road. You’d have to replace almost all of it and at that point you’re just building a new car from scratch.
I’ll give 'em tree fiddy
I want to drive one into a brick wall. Not with me in it or anything. I figure I could do it just by setting it to auto-drive into a painting of a tunnel Looney Tunes style.
I could do the auto-drive I wouldn’t mind
$800 Million Worth of Cybertrucks
Cybertrucks aren’t worth the glass of the molotovs that ignite them.
Worth and cost are not synonyms.
It’s funny. They target people who burned the trucks, but insurance claims are probably their best chance to get paid for the trucks.
except the insurance might not even cover these, or they make the coverage cost extremely high.
Until insurers decide they’re too expensive to cover.
Light em up!
Actually saw a Tesla with a Trump/Vance sticker on it today. I was already at 92% hate for Tesla. Thanks for making that 100% today stranger.
I actually saw the opposite last week. It was a Tesla but on the back was a sticker that looked like this:
They are really going to have to slash prices to move those trucks. 50%,60%75%? Even then will anyone want them?
The photograph that says it all. Let’s remember Elon Musk for the Nazi that he is.
he doesnt look commited to it though, because hes doing the lip sucking thing that children do when they are unsure if they will get a bad reaction from it.
This photo is taken out of context, though. I mean, he slapped his chest before the salute, and he did it twice in a row… Ah shit nevermind, he’s a Nazi.
The hand on his heart really does make you think twice about the meaning though, just like it did with that other guy.
Wow. I had no doubt it was a salute, but seeing them side-by-side is chilling
That cadence…
You had me for a second there bud.
“$800 million worth”?
“Nobody wants”?Sounds like creative accounting…
They tried that in Canada and got caught. They’ll get a free handy for doing it in the US under Tump though.
That’s what Trump’s big legal battle with New York was about - lying about the value of a penthouse or something.
So much of these “rich” fuckers wealth is just bullshit on paper.
Gee, that’s too bad. I do Nazi the problem.
They have a lot of problems … they’re about this high … raises right hand up on the air palm down
Is that price at full retail price or cost of parts. Either way, sounds like someone misjudged the market by a lot and needs to be ejected from their CEO role.
…into the sun.
Finally, a SpaceX mission we can all get behind.
He needs to go pick up his roadster.
Just send them to Africa with the next batch of hats and t-shirts of whoever doesn’t win the NBA finals
You can’t run an African civil war with these. They’re not Toyotas.
