Tesla Reportedly Has $800 Million Worth of Cybertrucks That Nobody Wants

Regardless of the arguable monetary value, capitalism as a system to allocate and distribute resources is such a scam. What a waste.
-
I don't disagree, but I think it's worth acknowledging that the US government could very easily regulate things so that Tesla are responsible for the financial burden they're putting on the world when they inevitably scrap these vehicles.
That doesn't address a bunch of other problems, but changing the global system of resource allocation is a hard thing, and making companies have some semblance of financial responsibility for destroying the planet is an easy thing that any government could do tomorrow. Just like how capitalism will (and did) inevitably result in child labour, but that can be (and was) outlawed directly.
I'm not trying to undermine your point about capitalism btw, just make the case that even within the constraints capitalism has, companies are getting away with an outrageous amount of destructive behavior.

So that means they have $0 of cybertrucks nobody wants?
-
Well I'm sure the tires are worth a couple bucks at least.

So genuine question: are the parts like batteries/motors safe and otherwise good enough to be used in ICE conversions? Or is there some kind of software/network boobytrap to be circumvented? The car itself is a horribly flawed surveillance box, but it seems like the flaws I've seen are mostly a sort of problem by compilation, like the finished product is worse than the sum of it's parts. Is there a chance at least that this overproduction could help provide parts for conversion vehicles?
-
The real question is if those batteries were made by Tesla.
-
Tesla employees are not allowed into the Panasonic section of the factory

"worth"
-
Tesla could increase the list price by 25%, then they have cybertrucks in stock worth a billion dollar.

Article with basically zero content that overrides the back button? No bueno.
-
Look at this guy reading more than the headline. Let's get 'im!

Skill issue. The back gesture took me straight back to Voyager on my device.

-
Everything made by tesla is useless trash.
-
The reclycling plant probably wants it for scrap parts.
-
That's 800 million in value. I think the cost would be considerably less. Playing with numbers.
-
It’s not even real value if nobody is buying it for that price. I could claim my million dollar car is sitting in my driveway but if nobody buys it for that price…

-
I’d definitely consider one if they were cheaper and Elon leaves the company.
But otherwise, hell no.
-
How are you able to drive when you clearly have such poor eyesight?
-
What can I say? I have terrible taste.
-
-
I'm just curious, but taking Elon's ahem "politics" out of it, what kind of price would you start thinking about the cybertruck? Would you choose it over another electric pickup?
-
I don’t think I’d ever choose it over any cheaper truck.
