As someone in the market for a Cybertruck, this doesn't look like desperation to me. These are fairly standard perks. Now a low APR _and_ free FSD, that'd be a serious incentive. That's what I'm waiting for.
- bdangubic 2y agowait a bit more, it’ll be 0%, free FSD and free supercharging and under $80k

- baskinator 2y agoI've been shopping Ford Mavericks and they have no incentives other than a 3 year lease. They are hot because they are filling a market niche that is in-demand. Incentives are priced accordingly. Low demand, high incentives. High demand, low incentives.
- _ea1k 2y agoThey also have annual sales of ~140k globally. The Y is closer to 1.2M. Even in the US, the Y sells ~2x as many as Maverick.
- baskinator 2y agoFord can't make them fast enough, apparently
- surgical_fire 2y agoSomething tells me that the model Y wi be selling dramatically less in the coming years.
- ein0p 2y agoThat's why Tesla is releasing the cheaper Model Q later this year.
- jonstewart 2y agoThere's speculation that Ford doesn't make enough Mavericks because they don't want to erode F150 sales. The Maverick is a sweet little truck.
- nothercastle 2y agoThe maverick cuts into their f150 sales and they under priced it initially. They have been raising prices steadily and they the trucks still sell out
- courseofaction 2y agoSerious question: do you expect to have to field questions about buying a car from Musk post-seig heil and DOGE?
- ein0p 2y agoI support cutting government waste. So do the majority of Americans, BTW. And no one with any folds on their brain believes Musk is a "Nazi".
- bdangubic 2y agoanyone that supports cutting government waste and has an ounce brain would be smart to realize that that what government people in charge do not give a flying fuck about cutting government waste - do better
- otterley 2y agoI too support cutting government waste, provided it's done right. The problem is that currently it's being done with all the grace of a hippo in ice skates. A good manager does things methodically, not spastically. If he were advising well, we wouldn't have to keep calling important people back to work. You also don't have to believe Musk is an actual Nazi to believe he should be careful in how he presents himself. We don't make these sorts of gestures precisely because people might think you are one. If you don't believe me, make a trip to Tel Aviv or Jerusalem and try it yourself, and see whether you make it out without injuries. (And please have someone film you.) And the guy has more than enough money to hire a speaking coach. He probably ought to.
- ein0p 2y agoWe are broke. We're out of good options.
- otterley 2y agoYour opinion is inconsistent with the vast majority of economists and financial analysts. The government has the taxing power to remedy any shortfalls. If the country were truly in bad shape financially, we would have to pay much higher interest rates and our bond rating would below the highest grade there is. I don’t know who you’re listening to, but whomever they are, they’re not very well informed, or at the very least, they’re at odds with the smart money.
- s1artibartfast 2y agoI would snap up a Model Y if it had V2X charging. I can only imagine Tesla is worried about undercutting their powerwall business. Powerwall gives you 13 kwh for $10K. A model Y is 60kwh for $30k
- _ea1k 2y agoCT has v2x. I hope it comes to the other cars eventually.
- otterley 2y agoWhy do you want one?
- chneu 2y ago100% the only reason anyone would buy a cyber truck is ego and/or attention. They're bad at everything you'd want a truck for. They're impractical and have high upkeep costs.
- nothercastle 2y agoI think some people really love the hate it brings. It’s like driving around in a giant dumpster with a hate symbol on it except it won’t get you cancelled and fired from your job.
