  maybe they should try making their cars not ugly as sin

  • Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ 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.

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

  They are really going to have to slash prices to move those trucks. 50%,60%75%? Even then will anyone want them?

• Feathercrown@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

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

  source

  • Glytch@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    They’re only worth what someone would be willing to pay for them. What’s the scrap value on a cybertruck?

    source
  • PieMePlenty@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    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.

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

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

      That’s just ridiculous. To spend money to remove infrastructure, out of hidden spite.

      I hadn’t thought about it that much, but I might put in in the yard with that camper top thing and maybe use it for a backup electricity maybe get a rooftop solar panel I have no idea.

• BrianTheeBiscuiteer@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  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

• GlendatheGayWitch@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

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

  source

  • jonne@infosec.pub ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

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

    source
  • curiousaur@reddthat.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

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

      Prepare to pay a $200m fine for littering.

  • tal@lemmy.today ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

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

    • JennyLaFae@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      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

      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

      source
• DogPeePoo@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  I wouldn’t take one even if if was free

  source

  • Agent641@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    I would, you get $1.25per kilo of stainless steel and $3.15 for aluminium at the local scrap metal merchant

    source

    • Almacca@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Take the battery out and use it for home storage.

      source
    • pinball_wizard@lemmy.zip ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Sure. Same. I could just throw a tarp over it on my way to the scrap yard, to protect my reputation.

  $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 ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ 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

    • Ledericas@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

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

      source
    • Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Until insurers decide they’re too expensive to cover.

      Light em up!

  Actually saw a Tesla with a Trump/Vance sticker on it today. I was already at 92% hate for Tesla. Thanks for making that 100% today stranger.

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

    • LordWiggle@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      So you’re against Elon but still buys his dumpster car?

      It’s like you hate Belgium, so you go on holiday in Belgium but you put a “fuck Belgium” sticker on your suitcase. Why TF would you go there if you hate it. Why TF would you buy a nazi car when you’re against nazis.

      The sticker is just so they hope their swasticar isn’t vandalized. You’re a fucking nazi when you support nazis. This include buying their cars.

    I will get in on the bids. $3.25!

  How is that $800 million WORTH? Is it a figure of speech?

  • suicidaleggroll@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Yes it’s a common phrase. If an apple costs $2, and you have 10 apples, then you have $20 worth of apples.

    Who knows / cares- it’s a meme stock. Has about as much relation to Tesla’s ability to sell cars as the price of any cryptocurrency has to its ability to be used as actual currency.

  I mean, if they are gonna get rid of it, I will take one for free. Free EV is a free EV if it breaks down 5 days later then I am in the same situation I was before getting the truck.

    Just use it for the batteries and parts

      Battery would be grand for a household solar install. Seats would be nice on the porch. The frunk can hold a lot of chicken feed, and the cabin would make a fine henhouse for a small flock.

  • macaw_dean_settle@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Except it still cost you money. It still needs to be registered, titled, and plated. This means you will be in the negative after only having it for 5 days.
