Tesla pulls out all the stops as Cybertruck sales grind to a halt (www.arenaev.com)

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.

And SpaceX had such good publicity, also notably one aesthetically the very opposite of sieg heil.

I mean, aesthetics of Tesla advertising and design and everything were pretty different from SpaceX from the very beginning. I wonder how could Musk be the founder of both. Maybe they'll find traces of a brain worm in him too. Can't be solely ketamine.

he's not a Tesla founder, he only bought it

OK. Then I'd guess it's him sabotaging the idea of EV's.

He has never founded or invented anything. Every business he owns, he bought from others. In some cases he forced them to refrain from claiming to be founders at all. He's pathetic scum.

Apparently he did really found SpaceX. I'm not saying he did everything necessary on C-level to make it a functional company, but that's not really required (though if we think of such companies as Sun, there one can really see Bill Joy's deep participation in a lot of different core projects).
