I'd argue that it is the culmination of Elon Musk's genius.
12yo genius.
Dropping by half isn't really a level I'd gasp at. From that click bait title I expected 80-90%
13,000 is also a dismal quarterly number for a vehicle.
Which explains a lot about the state of our planet.
As a newly introduced "next big thing" product it should be ramping up. Line go down is shocking for capitalists.
Ita a nearly 50% drop though. Pretty bad. Lets see if its a trend though
Even funnier is when you look up how long a set of tires lasts on a cybertruck.
Like when they are burning?
Or even just generally. I think it's only 7,000 miles (11,250 km), and they're about USD$500 each.
Yeah, I was kidding because of the fires, but you are correct. Teslas, when driven hard, eat through tires. All that torque needs grip, and so the tires are a grippy compound which typically equates to higher wear. A few friends bought them (before Elon showed his true colours), when they first got them and did the acceleration run with each eager passenger the tires were bald in no time.
Between them being pieces of shit, the stigma associated with them, and Elon alienating the target demographic, I'm surprised any are getting sold at all.
