Tesla Only Has 10 Days of Cybertruck Order Backlog Before Being Forced to Halt the Production Line

Well I had a reservation but I was believing the price would come in under 60k to 65k. I currently own model 3 love tesla. Still 80k before taxes and I can imagine cost especially in NYC where Im from or insurance is too much for me unless I had a real need like work.

I feel, as I'm doing, waiting for tax credit ti kick in. Then I will immediately order it.
Musk and his minions should be able to force this, if he wants to keep the wheels turning.

But, but, it's the best selling truck of all time! Or so Tesla fan boys want you to believe.

In Paramus, NJ, there are large numbers of Cybertrucks sitting in overflow storage lots (in back of Fashion Center). Strange to see row after row of vehicles just sitting there seeing as they are supposed to be such hot sellers

Seriously, anyone who is around cars never says "VIN Number". It's a double entendre, like saying "ATM Machine". An ATM is an Automated Teller Machine.

VIN stands for "Vehicle Identification Number", so saying or typing VIN Number, you're saying "Vehicle Identification Number Number". Same goes for ATM Machine.

Either you are a car guy or you're a writer who reports on cars. I'd say you're the latter, with limited actual car knowledge.

This article about the Cybertruck is pretty one sided. You're pretty much just speculating, since Tesla doesn't regularly report on production numbers, sales or vehicle inventory supply. Nice try. Now write an article with actual proof of your claims WITHOUT showing your bias.

No surprise. The Ford Lightning met with the same fate. New model car preorders are only about 5% meaningful on a good day.

I would buy the Cyber Truck without any hesitation tomorrow if they sell it to me for the price that I originally signed up for of $39,900 for a single motor version. 60k and 70k is too steep for me to even consider. I'd rather get my deposit money back...

I work near an airport in San Bernardino CA. They are using empty lots to store excess Teslas. Everyday for the last month I see the same 10 Cybertrucks trucks sitting there among the others Teslas collecting dust. They are not flying off the shelf.

I wonder if they had a bunch already built and waiting for customers.

Not surprised. I cancelled my Cybertruck order and we didn’t buy a Y because of the Elon train wreck.

Did this article have a word count requirement? It's like the same thing was being said four times.

Not sure about anyone else, but I think they are as ugly as hell. They may be worth every penny, but just when you thought those Hummers were big enough they come out with something even bigger

'VIN number'
Means 'vehicle identification number number'.

Story fails to mention that all the bad publicity Tesla is receiving from nosediving resale value(cybertruck) and a variety of unreliability and manufacturers defects.
People jumped on the bandwagon from the start. 97.5% of the original orders are not accepted. These are the smart ones.

Another way to look at this: The ideal situation would be to sell as you build. Minimize inventory costs. Could they be that smart, or lucky?

What would help is for Tesla to offer "limited time offer" of 10% off sticker price or FSD at 1/2 price. That should bring in few more buyers.

No problem, they can just switch production to the roadster. 😂

Tesla has a huge dealership / storefront in northwest Houston, Texas that is stacked full of Cyber trucks (presumably unsold), which backs up the claims in this article. The dealership parking lot is full (of vehicle stock), and they're storing the excess on a grassy field adjacent to it. So many Cybertrucks that you could probably identify them from satellite images (assuming you're looking at current images). Makes sense that they can fulfill orders quickly.

Clearly demand has dried up after everyone discovered just how overhyped it is. If they stop producing it, hopefully that's a wakeup call to producing better quality products in the future.

You do understand they have a large number of pre-built trucks.
My brother in law works at the facility. They have rows in the lot that are done. Each row is built in a different configuration. You order one they take it from the appropriate row and ship it.
This will be more evident when a customer orders in Jan 25' and sees their truck was built Dec 24'. I do wonder how people can be so uninformed about how vehicles are manufactured.

That's what happens when you more than double the price point. To go from 35k to 80k is a ridiculous increase.

Goodbye Tesla!

I've never seen one on the road here in Florida... In fact this place ain't exactly busting down the EV doors either. Useless truck. Can't pull anything and it ain't exactly a "work" truck either.

I ordered a cyber truck on 10/13/24 and I have had a reservation for two years, and I have not got a vin number yet. Something does not seem to agree with the previous article.

Misplaced "only".

Should be:

Tesla Has Only 10 Days of Cybertruck Order Backlog Before Being Forced to Halt the Production Line

There is nothing "worrying" about the possibility of Tesla having to halt Cybertruck production. In fact, that would be highly desirable. The "truck" is a blight on the roadways - in both design and build quality. Bottomline, it is an absolute waste of resources.

I now have the money to buy, but Musk's politics prevent me from spending a dime. Sorry Elon - No Sale!

I have Tesla X. In NJ and an S,and 3 in Florida. Several years ago I put an order for two of the trucks and will be asking for refund of the $100 each. The new truck has significant engineering but the design is harsh and weird. The sharp edges seem dangerous and the back window covered by the deck lid is not good. The real drag is the finger print problem which leads to the expense and impracticality of wrapping The interior is also square and harsh.
I dont like Tesla switching to horizontal screen and wish they would offer an X model with sliding doors as an alternative to the flappers
