Tesla is offering new Cybertruck discounts. Is there a demand problem?
Published On Jan 16, 2025, 11:40 AM
Tesla is offering discounts on select Cybertrucks, indicating potential weakness in demand. The discounts, totaling up to $2,600, come after reports of a lull in production activity and a reduction in workforce on the Cybertruck line. Despite sales of nearly 40,000 units making it a popular EV, analysts are concerned about the long-term strategy and resource allocation associated with the Cybertruck's development, suggesting it may be a misstep for Tesla.
