  I am expecting them to end up as ICE technicals, used to hunt down dissidents like…checks notes…American citizens, children, and the elderly.

    So your saying one will be able to avoid ICE by simply escaping on days when its raining?

  If nobody wants them, then they are worth $0.

  source

  • curiousaur@reddthat.com ⁨3⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Jokes on you, I’d pay $1 for the lot.

    source
  • tal@lemmy.today ⁨6⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    You could definitely sell those for more then $0. The batteries alone aren’t cheap.

    • NotJohnSmith@feddit.uk ⁨5⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      So somewhere inbetween as the article says “more than 10,000 units” and “$800m” so they appear to be valuing them at ~$80k/unit which is ridiculously optimistic.

      My guess is closer to 1/3rd of that value but nobody likes to lose half a billion in the blink of an eye

      I was debating if I’d be willing to take a free cybertruck, your comment reminded me i could take it straight to the scrap yard

      source
  • jonne@infosec.pub ⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    They’re worth something as scrap, I’m sure.

• ccunning@lemmy.world ⁨10⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  “$800 million worth”?
  “Nobody wants”?

  Sounds like creative accounting…

    I have $800M worth of lint in my belly button, apparently

    They tried that in Canada and got caught. They’ll get a free handy for doing it in the US under Tump though.

      That’s what Trump’s big legal battle with New York was about - lying about the value of a penthouse or something.

      So much of these “rich” fuckers wealth is on paper.

  The photograph that says it all. Let’s remember Elon Musk for the Nazi that he is.

  source

  • walden@sub.wetshaving.social ⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    This photo is taken out of context, though. I mean, he slapped his chest before the salute, and he did it twice in a row… Ah shit nevermind, he’s a Nazi.

    source

    • floofloof@lemmy.ca ⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      The hand on his heart really does make you think twice about the meaning though, just like it did with that other guy.

    he doesnt look commited to it though, because hes doing the lip sucking thing that children do when they are unsure if they will get a bad reaction from it.

• Feathercrown@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  You know, by stock market logic, this would mean they aren’t actually worth $800m

  source

  • Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Stock market logic, sell one cybertruck for $1m and your whole inventory is now worth 10x

  • kameecoding@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    If the stock market had anythign to do with logic Tesla wouldn’t be worth more than all other car manufacturers combined

    Simple economy actually. Supply exceeds demand, value on the market is lower.
    On the stock market, you can do all kinds of fuckery to gain from this.

  maybe they should try making their cars not ugly as sin

  source

  • Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world ⁨45⁩ ⁨minutes⁩ ago

    The main flaw of that thing is its bad engineering. The design was meant to be polarising and if it was actually a good car, it would work in its favour.

    • Simulation6@sopuli.xyz ⁨40⁩ ⁨minutes⁩ ago

      They are also larger then expected or needed. The one I see at work just barely fits in the parking spaces, width wise.

  $800 Million Worth of Cybertrucks

  Cybertrucks aren’t worth the glass of the molotovs that ignite them.

  Worth and cost are not synonyms.

  source

  • w3dd1e@lemm.ee ⁨6⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    It’s funny. They target people who burned the trucks, but insurance claims are probably their best chance to get paid for the trucks.

    source

    • Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world ⁨6⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Until insurers decide they’re too expensive to cover.

      Light em up!

      source
    • Ledericas@lemm.ee ⁨4⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      except the insurance might not even cover these, or they make the coverage cost extremely high.

  I want to drive one into a brick wall. Not with me in it or anything. I figure I could do it just by setting it to auto-drive into a painting of a tunnel Looney Tunes style.

    I could do the auto-drive I wouldn’t mind

  Wait, now it’s only $700 million. $400 million. $34 million… And it’s $6.50.

  Yeah, I guess there is someone out there who would buy a fleet of dumpster cares for $6.50.

    I actually saw the opposite last week. It was a Tesla but on the back was a sticker that looked like this:

  Is that price at full retail price or cost of parts. Either way, sounds like someone misjudged the market by a lot and needs to be ejected from their CEO role.

  If Chevy had released this truck it would have been ended up like the HHR but worse.

  It’s not even good at being a truck, aside from the other shit.
