For all we know lots of people want them but can't afford them.

Paints two completely different scenarios from the same objective base observation that there are X amount of unsold Cybertrucks.

    Why is that all you know and why are you lumping us in with you?

    They've got ~60% more inventory than sales (6k sold).

    For comparison Rivian has 400% more sales than inventory. (14k sold).

    This should be plenty of data to conclude how popular the Cybertruck actually is.

    Are you comparing the same time frames? Because Rivian's sales are down 36% for Q1 2025.

    I guess no one wants them either, or would a headline about Rivian invoke some other reason?

    That's my point.

    Rivian didn't over produce, and notably, didn't go all in with the new authoritarian regime. Also, a 36% decrease in sales is much less than having $800 million (in MSRP) sitting in lots. The R1T is a very successful vehicle if you compare it to the Swastitruck.
