Summary
The Tesla Cybertruck is in crisis. The automaker is still sitting on a ton of old inventory, which it is now heavily discounting, and it is throttling down production.
Tesla is expected to currently be selling the Cybertruck at a rate of about 25,000 units a year – a tenth of what Musk predicted.
Tesla began the second quarter with 2,400 Cybertrucks in inventory, valued at over $200 million. Tesla is now offering deeper discounts on the new inventory of Cybertrucks.
The automaker has reduced its Cybertruck production teams and now operates at a fraction of its original capacity.
They’re also hiding them (my opinion) off of their main lot so people don’t see how many are sitting around. The dealership near me has a couple on the lot but down the road, across the street on a hidden side road I saw over a dozen of them sitting in a fenced in lot gathering pollen last week.
Do you have access to a super soaker and vinegar? Maybe you could help wash some of that pollen off.
The CIA of yesteryear approves this idea.

Some pickle brine seems like it would be particularly effective in creating a lovely rust patina.

Why vinegar?
The Cybertruck’s stainless steel body is susceptible to corrosion from acidic substances, including vinegar. Tesla’s own guidance advises against using acidic liquids or materials, including vinegar, on the vehicle’s exterior.

Now I’m conflicted about that news article I saw about Trump letting those 70 coal plants operate with emissions unchecked, because now the acid rain they cause will degrade the trucks faster.
