The model y I feel it lowered it a smidge and brought it closer to you. The cybertruck I’m not sure but I’ll take before and after measurements
no EV pickup is killing it
It is a VERY large number considering that it is a new supposedly in-demand model that is identical in most respects, only one real variant. With NO takers for that inventory after months on the lot, it says that demand for the CT has essentially dried up - and that its sales targets and production capacity have zero chance of ever being met. It would be significant if 100 CTs sat for six months, much less a couple thousand. There are OBVIOUSLY no buyers for those trucks at the asking price - unlike most other Tesla models in its history, which sold immediately when produced, or on order before manufacturing. This could not be more indicative of the issues with CT demand. Fanbois gotta fanboi, but try to be a little real.What also isn't hard is to put a $ sign in front of numbers that are supposed to represent currency.
Also not hard, is to realize 2,400 units is not a large number, like at all.
The difference is that Tesla never sold a SINGLE vehicle with a negative gross margin. Not one. They have average high-20% margins since the start. Rivian, on the other hand, has never sold a single vehicle with a positive sales margin. They over-engineered a vehicle that costs $125k to make but sells for $75k. That cannot be overcome, full stop. Accounting losses are after R&D and G&A, etc. All startups have accounting losses - but not all sell products for less than production cost. Rivian cannot be fixed.Why do people not take into account Tesla's early years and how close they were to not making it.
You and me are definitely not the same.
Being a Fanboy of Tesla has been a pretty good bet since, well, they ever existed.
Demand never picked up in the first place. I love my CT but recognize it will never attract main stream truck buyers. I am not a hater, have owned teslas since buying one in 2012, was a shareholder starting in 2008. It isn’t about what any other EV truck sales are doing. All of the competition has flaws. I had a Lightning, a complete disaster.
There was no recession when the CT launched. There was inflation but the economy was otherwise doing quite well and any Tesla CT buyer would not have been deterred by macro-economics. They weee deterred by the gap between promises made and actual results. You can have your own opinions but facts are sticky things.
We might not be so different afterall. I used to have two Yamaha Waverunners...forget the models, but they were the best/fastest 3-seaters at the time. I have also had all kinds of other water vehicles/boats over the years. That is amazing that the tiny Model Y towed all that so far (I know not on one charge...but how long does it go on a charge while towing all that?)
Yeah, so here's the thing. My opinion is, after owning and driving my Cyberbeast, is that I view it as the most sophisticated, most refined, consumer vehicle on the roads of planet earth.
It is just a matter of time until others start to recognize it's superiority.
I don't understand why my neighbors and friends keep calling me a Tesla fanboy. What does it even mean to be Tesla fanboy? Why not just call me a Tesla Superfan instead!?!
