100% agree, no way it'll be $40k. Still crazy that as of 2021 there were 1.5M orders, which means they've been holding and most likely making interest on $150,000,000+
Pretty much, yeah. Assuming 5% interest for the 25 months they've had it, Tesla has made a little over $10 off my deposit so far. I hope they enjoy two happy meals with their gains. I'll be fine.
A quick google search shows that Tesla has anything from "more than 1 million" to "more than 1.25 million" deposits placed, so it's actually more like two million happy meals that Musk is enjoying.
As long as they don't realize the funds as income or use them for anything, they can hold deposits pretty much indefinitely. Accountants hate it though.
Cybertruck, Cybertruck,
Elon's pervy techno-fuck,
It can hum in your bum
It can make a rich man cum
Go suck! — Go suck a Cybertruck
Cybertruck (hey!) Cybertruck,
Haul a load of Cybertruck,
Smells like poop, Hyperloop,
But it's Elon's special poop
In soup! Eat up for Cybertruck!
In the heat of night
At the scene of a death
"Autopilot was right
When it crushed out your breath!"
Cybertruck, Cybertruck,
Friendly neighborhood Cybertruck,
Are you pissed? Here's the gist: Cybertruck does not exist.
Still pissed? Sign up on the list!

They've gotten so much money for the Cyber Truck "orders" without even delivering a product to the customers for yeaaarrs. How is that legal?

I'll get my $100 deposit back when their $40k electric pickup truck turns out to be $78k, just like Ford did. Not worried.

They probably spent it, though.

Did I hear "twitter"? (Just messing, I know that's not how it works, at least not how it should work)

Narrator: “that’s totally what they did”

So you gave them an interest free loan for a few years?

Why wait? Just go to their website and request it back now. That's what i did last year.

Beats the shit out of me. But now corporations are being treated as people so maybe it's a welfare subsidy? 😆

They don't even have exhaust ports. Where do I stick PP?

You can make it yourself, all you need is a ball bearing and a reasonably strong arm.

I used a random "fancy textifier" I googled. It's unicode/emojis used in the display name field.

Is the Cyber Truck going to be plagued with issues?

Ugly truck, but looking forward to seeing one soon

Thpppt, if I do buy an EV it'll probably be a Honda, Toyota, or Volvo.

That just means that it is going to be really, really great when it does come out though, right?
