I know i would get made fun of for this but a good price is a good price. I would pay $15,000 for one. I think most people would.
Edit 2 min later - I thought better of it. No i still wouldn't want it. I wouldn't trust Tesla not to hack it at some point and take it over.
You could rip the batteries out of them and use them for a solar setup. The rest could be sold for scrap.

“$800 million worth”?
“Nobody wants”?
Sounds like creative accounting…
They tried that in Canada and got caught. They'll get a free handy for doing it in the US under Tump though.

The photograph that says it all. Let's remember Elon Musk for the Nazi that he is.
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.
The hand on his heart really does make you think twice about the meaning though, just like it did with that other guy.
Wow. I had no doubt it was a salute, but seeing them side-by-side is chilling

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?

Cybertrucks are just sitting around, waiting for someone to officially label them the DeLorean of the 21st century.
Hey! You take that back! DeLoreans were always cool cars. Their demise wasn't due to lack of popularity, the company just had problems getting established, and ultimately didn't survive its initial growth phase.
Nobody despised the DeLorean, or it's owner. They just ran out of money, and he tried a desperate Hail Mary play, that didn't work.

You know, by stock market logic, this would mean they aren't actually worth $800m
If the stock market had anythign to do with logic Tesla wouldn't be worth more than all other car manufacturers combined

$800 million worth is giving a lot of value to something they can barely give away. Maybe $800K worth of material after the cost of dismantling.
They really should use the number of units. If Musk cranks the price from 80k to 120k, they suddenly have $1.2B sitting there? It's the same 10,000 ugly-ass pieces of shit.

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

Can someone explain how the demographic of people who loved to park their gas guzzlers to purposefully block tesla charging stations are now Musk fanboys all of a sudden?

$800 Million Worth of Cybertrucks
Cybertrucks aren't worth the glass of the molotovs that ignite them.
Worth and cost are not synonyms.

If the talk about Cybertrucks actually rusting in the rain is true, they will be worth less and less and less...
Strip out the bad stuff and drop them in the ocean and they can become reefs for fishies and their buddies?

Time to play…”WHO DO YA BAIL OUT! HUBBA-HUBBA-HUBBA, MONEY-MONEY-MONEY…WHO DO YA BAIL OOOOOUUUUUUUUT?!”
Elon underestimated how willing people were to buy a truck from a nazi.
