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.

No social media is a green flag IMO.

You're literally using social media right now.

Edit: Downvote me all you want, but the fact of the matter is that Lemmy is social media. There's media on here, and we discuss it in a social setting. Literally the definition of "social media".

Yes, if you're too young to remember what a forum is, i guess you can call it social media

Anonymous social media like this is not what people think of when someone says "social media".

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 hours ago

All social media can be anonymous if you want it to be ;)

This is more akin to forums of old and less like your facebooks, snaps, etc

I like the term that was applied to reddit, antisocial media.

Both can be true. I’m reducing my usage of the REALLY BAD social media and trying to make THIS social media better.
