3878 Cybertrucks were produced from November to April, that doesn't bode well for Tesla. Are there any recent numbers of the reservation holders for this abomination? I am curious to know how many have canceled their reservations.
I know nothing about the auto industry, but that doesn’t sound like a bad number for a brand new class of vehicles that costs close to $100k.
Legit, I can’t imagine anybody wanting to buy this thing for half that price.
Grand Wagoneer wishing they had numbers like that
It's really is not bad, considering it's a completely new design and manufacturing process that is using all new custom tooling and assembly lines. No other manufacturer in the world is building cars like the Cybertruck is being built.
Doesn't make the quality any better or even excusable though....
So glad no one else is making a vehicle like that. Oh, you mean different techniques, not ugly as fuck and designed by a preteen who loves minecraft?
I was viewing it from a manufacturing perspective, since that is my job and training- it is legitimately pretty interesting how theyve manufactured it. Its still a shit looking truck and I wouldn't ever buy a Tesla out of principle anyway. I think people completely misread my original comment as being a musk fan boy.
I didn't take it that way. From what I've heard, it's a very challenging process, and I'm not sure it's worth it for this use case. It also sucks that it's so damned ugly. And there's all the good will he burned, ki d of sad.
Allegedly there are 2 million in waitlist for this thing
Oof… I saw one in person the other day and was shocked at how ugly it is. I don’t get people.
