So then they have $0 worth of cybertrucks.

[-] [email protected] 26 points 1 month ago

I wish the article would tell us how many units instead, for this very reason.

[-] [email protected] 23 points 1 month ago

Last I remember they sold for $80k, plus that makes the math trivial, so... 10000 vehicles?

[-] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago

Wow that has so much more impact to me, I can really visualise the endless parking lots full of them.

[-] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

That's literally in the second sentence of the article.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago

Just looked again and you're right lmao. I did read it, but somehow missed it.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

No, we don't want the article to make us read. We want the article to grab our heads, pull our ears out and talk the information directly into our faces. You know, "tell us."

-$800 million those weren’t free to build.

$0 worth

I'd be willing to pay that for a cyberdump. Wouldn't mind the pubic lovingly trashing it either. It even traps passengers while burning like a complimentary self-cleaning oven feature. The disposal fee might be a bitch.

On further thought, it might not be worth it.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Id strip it for parts and convert a classic car with one if the price was right. (Free)

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Just keep the windows down at all times. Then you can jump out and laugh at it when it's on fire.

Came here just to upvote you.

If no one wants them, they're not worth anything.

[-] [email protected] 21 points 1 month ago

Cut to the Trump administration buying them all for $250,000 each.

[-] [email protected] 19 points 1 month ago

There's always scrap metal and selling the batteries for other purposes!

And entire production lines configured to produce shit nobody wants.

[-] [email protected] 24 points 1 month ago

Then why the hell is the stock back over $300?!?

[-] [email protected] 24 points 1 month ago

Because modern stock market is not controlled by buying and selling but rather by derivative markets esp off the book derivatives

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

The Boring Company is propping up the price with the sales of NotAFlameThrowers to DOGE.

waiting for someone to officially label them the DeLorean of the 21st century.

Please, nobody insult the DeLorean this way.

[-] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago

Tbh I'd take one for free. It might look kinda cool in my garden with plants growing out of it.

[-] [email protected] 19 points 1 month ago

i would keep the battery, buy some solar panels, an inverter for my house, and sell the chassis as scrap metal

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Ehhhh, that would require a cybertruck to look cool though.

Yet their stock went up 20% past week...

[-] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

The stock price isn't an accurate representation of the worth of the company. It's an accurate representation of the amount of bullshit the company CEO is filled with.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

The economy is based on vibes and not the true value. However that doesn't mean they aren't allowed to borrow against those vibes, to avoid taxes.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

So did other stocks. The Dotard flip-flopped on tariffs again.

[-] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago

Sell them to ocean shipping companies .... they can tie a chain around them and use them as boat anchors

[-] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

They'd probably (definitely) suck at that too.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Watch them rust quickly in salty water

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

But sharks.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago

if nobody wants them, they're not worth $800million

[-] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago

i flipped off two of these nazi dumpsters today

[-] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

All those preorders cancelled bc they lied about the price and the quality doesn’t match. Tesla was doing fine until the CEO got involved. Idk why those assholes wanted to give him billions of dollars as a bonus. Just absurd.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

they probably want his name to be still have some recognition, because Xitter is a very useful tool for the right to control the supporters, that is more valuable than tesla.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Mobile dumpsters? Port o potties for the homeless? The possibilities are endless.

There’s probably a tax write off in there somewhere for Elon. Nice silver lining.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

No wonder they're begging police departments to buy them.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

A part of me wants the police to have them so they can be a cluster fuck for them to maintain.

Unfortunately, they'll maintain it with my tax dollars.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

…so almost enough trucks to supply the people affected by the recalls?

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago
[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

I'd pay five thousand dollars for one. Round off the sharp corners and put a Honda sign on it and BOOM I beat capitalism.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

They're hideous, the places with a population that could afford them mostly view them as a social black mark, and in terms of utility - they're worse than just about any truck out there. It's not about max towing weight. It's about not being able to stack and strap a shit ton of stuff in there

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Holy shit I forgot Vice was still a thing.
