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.

I knew they should have built a real smoke and engine noise generator into the cyber truck. So that all those who insist on polluting, don’t have to be left out.

If you do not revolt against the government, you will receive a free cybertruck as a replacement for your house, which will be too expensive to live in.

Each immigrant willing to leave voluntarily will receive a free cybertruck.

The US military, firefighters, EMT’s and police force will get new vehicles! They will all start to use cybertrucks.
