I wonder if people don't want the truck because of its design or the association with Elon more.

I think its crazy that they made $800 mil worth of these cars. Who the hell thought they would sell well?

[–] Pilferjinx@lemmy.world 20 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I always thought he was making them as a limited high-end run. It's neither of those things.

That's 80,000 vehicles. The production capacity is 250k. Ford sold 460,000 F-150s last year.

Chrysler had an inventory of over 1 million last year, they've ran through that by March.

Tesla stock is up 21% in the last week. What is going on?!

Speculators/inside traders betting on (more) favourable rule changes or a fat govt supply contract perhaps

Elon underestimated how willing people were to buy a truck from a nazi.

If he drops the price to about $8k and includes lifetime fast charging, I'd consider one. Of course, for $8k, there are plenty of much nicer used trucks available on the market, though.

Idunno, they seem like they'd be perpetual rotten fruit magnets. Like you'd have to hose them down a lot

[–] moseschrute@lemmy.ml 11 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Hosing it down would just accelerate the rusting

How abut: The truck is just plain ugly.

It looks like a refuse bin. Square back, low opening front.

When I worked in a lime quarry, we used a bin something like that shape to put all the crap and garbage in The a-frame had a bar across the top and the kiln truck picked it up worth its hoist and loaded it on the back, and hauled away the load to the dump.
