Tesla pulls out all the stops as Cybertruck sales grind to a halt (www.arenaev.com)

Tesla Cybertruck appears to be facing significant sales challenges. After initial hype faded, and over a million reservations turned out to be as real as unicorns, Tesla is now enabling leasing options and free upgrades to move its inventory of the futuristic pickup truck. The company's recent silence on the Cybertruck, even omitting it from their earnings call, speaks volumes about the situation.

Tesla initially projected sales of 500,000 Cybertrucks annually and established production capacity at the Giga Texas for 250,000 units per year. After working through the initial reservation backlog with fewer than 40,000 deliveries, the automaker is now struggling to sell the remaining vehicles.

Is that "all stops", as in they will get rid of that guy who very definitely did a Nazi salute?

Best they can do is promote him.

What do you get for a guy whose dick gets sucked by the president?

Seriously, why the fuck is he still CEO of that company? He's actively undermining them in every way on a global scale. Tesla shareholders are idiots...

"pulling out all the stops" probably means removing the minorities and anti-fascists from the tesla payroll.

This just in: Tesla's new moniker "Arbeit Macht Frei" tracks poorly with most human beings.

I don't even think he even commented on his Nazi salute after he did it. Which is even more damning.
