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.
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."
Or report their value as the scrap value or cost of materials

Came here just to upvote you.
If no one wants them, they're not worth anything.
Cut to the Trump administration buying them all for $250,000 each.
There's always scrap metal and selling the batteries for other purposes!

Eat shit, nazi
he probably does eat shit too. there's probably some ultra rich bullshit delicacy that is like essence of baby turds or something that has stem cells and electrolytes.

Two Elons, one truck.

And entire production lines configured to produce shit nobody wants.
Then why the hell is the stock back over $300?!?
Because modern stock market is not controlled by buying and selling but rather by derivative markets esp off the book derivatives
The Boring Company is propping up the price with the sales of NotAFlameThrowers to DOGE.

waiting for someone to officially label them the DeLorean of the 21st century.
Please, nobody insult the DeLorean this way.
Tbh I'd take one for free. It might look kinda cool in my garden with plants growing out of it.
i would keep the battery, buy some solar panels, an inverter for my house, and sell the chassis as scrap metal
Yet their stock went up 20% past week...
The stock price isn't an accurate representation of the worth of the company. It's an accurate representation of the amount of bullshit the company CEO is filled with.
The economy is based on vibes and not the true value. However that doesn't mean they aren't allowed to borrow against those vibes, to avoid taxes.
So did other stocks. The Dotard flip-flopped on tariffs again.
Sell them to ocean shipping companies .... they can tie a chain around them and use them as boat anchors
They'd probably (definitely) suck at that too.
Watch them rust quickly in salty water
But sharks.
if nobody wants them, they're not worth $800million
i flipped off two of these nazi dumpsters today
All those preorders cancelled bc they lied about the price and the quality doesn’t match. Tesla was doing fine until the CEO got involved. Idk why those assholes wanted to give him billions of dollars as a bonus. Just absurd.
they probably want his name to be still have some recognition, because Xitter is a very useful tool for the right to control the supporters, that is more valuable than tesla.
Mobile dumpsters? Port o potties for the homeless? The possibilities are endless.
There’s probably a tax write off in there somewhere for Elon. Nice silver lining.
…so almost enough trucks to supply the people affected by the recalls?
Good.
They're hideous, the places with a population that could afford them mostly view them as a social black mark, and in terms of utility - they're worse than just about any truck out there. It's not about max towing weight. It's about not being able to stack and strap a shit ton of stuff in there
I'd pay five thousand dollars for one. Round off the sharp corners and put a Honda sign on it and BOOM I beat capitalism.
No wonder they're begging police departments to buy them.
A part of me wants the police to have them so they can be a cluster fuck for them to maintain.
Unfortunately, they'll maintain it with my tax dollars.
Funny how "market rates" only mean "it will cost more for poor people" and never "our worthless product is worthless so we need to lower the price"
