Remember those million pre-orders Tesla allegedly had for the Cybertruck, according to CEO Elon Musk? It’s getting tougher and tougher for the company to explain where all of them went.

After putting around 50,000 Cybertrucks on the road, according to a recent recall filing, the company appears to be out of pre-orders and desperately looking to juice demand. Case in point: It’s now offering up to $10,000 off certain Cybertrucks it has in inventory.

      I’d take it for free and sell it at a big discount to one of his fanboys.

        If someone offered me one for free or the option to pay them $10,000 for a Hummer EV, I’d have a new Hummer EV and a very unhappy partner.

      If I got one for free I’d spend an afternoon dismantling it with a crowbar separating the steel from the aluminum to sell it for scrap, and I’d be the first person to make a profit from a cyber truck.

      I’d take it. Wouldn’t drive it, but if they want to pay me to store their dumpster…
