I think its crazy that they made $800 mil worth of these cars. Who the hell thought they would sell well?

I always thought he was making them as a limited high-end run. It's neither of those things.

Oh its gonna be limited thats for sure. But yeah I had very similar thoughts as well. Theres one cyberfuck in my town and every time I see it I can’t help but think what a fucking goober one must be to buy it

That's 80,000 vehicles. The production capacity is 250k. Ford sold 460,000 F-150s last year.

Chrysler had an inventory of over 1 million last year, they've ran through that by March.

That's insane considering Chrysler hasn't made a decent vehicle in 20+ years and the majority of them are just as big piles of shit as the cybertruck.

They don't charge 100k

They had a ridiculous number of people putting in a deposit to reserve one, about two million reservations according to this: https://insideevs.com/news/687142/tesla-cybertruck-2-million-reservations-crowdsourced-data/

I guess they came to their senses.
