Summary

The Tesla Cybertruck is in crisis. The automaker is still sitting on a ton of old inventory, which it is now heavily discounting, and it is throttling down production.

Tesla is expected to currently be selling the Cybertruck at a rate of about 25,000 units a year – a tenth of what Musk predicted.

Tesla began the second quarter with 2,400 Cybertrucks in inventory, valued at over $200 million. Tesla is now offering deeper discounts on the new inventory of Cybertrucks.

The automaker has reduced its Cybertruck production teams and now operates at a fraction of its original capacity.

    Anytime my group and I see one in Fortnite we have to drop what we’re doing and kill whoever’s in it.

        Money. Tbf other automakers are in there too, but nothing screams “I’m an asshole” like driving a Cybertruck in-game.
