People apparently don’t like their stupid trucks.

      Especially before the bubble pops. There are an extremely limited number of people who actually want one. And an even small group that will pay an inflated price.

    Is that a lot?
    How does that compare to other vehicles that have been out the same amount of time?

      Just for reference, Rivian has sold well over 20,0000 R1T pickup trucks since it went on sale a few years ago, and there are just 187 of those trucks for sale in the U.S. right now on Autotrader. That’s sort of high, but it’s a far more normal number for the Cybertruck’s chief competitor.

      From the article.

    Apparently the next version price is supposed to drop significantly which means virtually all founders edition versions will be upside down financing-wise. Its not like the special badging crap is going to hold value.

      Very little.

      Even people in Bellevue and Kirkland, WA only started getting theirs delivered about 3 months ago, and about 90% I have seen since have been within the last week and a half to two weeks.

      I have only seen about 40 so far, and 15 of them are possibly the same person just in different parts of town.

    I’m sure there are some flippers but it seems inevitable that many people will be disappointed with what they get after buying it on hype without even seeing one in real life
