No, we don’t want the article to make us read. We want the article to grab our heads, pull our ears out and talk the information directly into our faces. You know, “tell us.”
I’d love to know how much it costs to build each cybertruck, and visualise the other revenue loss of storing these, designing the machinery to build this shit and anything other costs that were factored into sales.
The big 3 used to need to sell something like 1/2 million cars before covering R&D costs. But that was also back in the 60-70s when they sold a million cars a year and designed it all on paper.
The cyber truck’s design was so stupid that it may have approached that level of r&d costs. Since bonding and forming such thick Stainless steel isn’t trivial.
I’d be willing to pay that for a cyberdump.
Wouldn’t mind the pubic lovingly trashing it either.
It even traps passengers while burning like a complimentary self-cleaning oven feature.
The disposal fee might be a bitch.
I was gonna say. Doesn’t seem right that they can just add up the MSRP like that and claim it’s millions worth of something if nobody’s buying. Plus, I’d wager the manufacturing cost of all that is significantly lower.
So then they have $0 worth of cybertrucks.
I wish the article would tell us how many units instead, for this very reason.
Last I remember they sold for $80k, plus that makes the math trivial, so… 10000 vehicles?
Wow that has so much more impact to me, I can really visualise the endless parking lots full of them.
That’s literally in the second sentence of the article.
Just looked again and you’re right lmao. I did read it, but somehow missed it.

Or report their value as the scrap value or cost of materials
-$800 million those weren’t free to build.

On further thought, it might not be worth it.
Id strip it for parts and convert a classic car with one if the price was right. (Free)
Just keep the windows down at all times. Then you can jump out and laugh at it when it’s on fire.
