Break even numbers are of course now skyrocketing towards the worst case scenario as Tesla continues to go deeper with the already significant discounts.

39k is pretty good for a $100k product.

they need to sell at least 75k of them to break even with a $15k-$20k gross margin. Some estimates have put it at 200k annual required to break even.

Note, again, the Aztec was only 8% off its break even goal and is attributed with ending the Pontiac brand.

But is it a bigger flop than the Cybertruck ICE version, the Pontiac Aztek?

It's much worse.

That Aztek was only 8% more sales short of breaking even. They sold almost 28k a year, they needed 30k to break even, they projected they would sell 75k annual.

Cybertruck deliveries were just under 39k for 2024, with a goal of 250k annual, they need to sell at least 75k of them to break even with a $15k-$20k gross margin. Some estimates have put it at 200k annual required to break even.

White people defending a car dealership.

Don't chase them.

Like a "French Riot", it's s a collection of a bunch of riots under 1 umbrella.

That broad brush is heavy.

Progressive love of Elon Musk before Covid set us up for long term disaster. They'll never own it though.

Visiting family in the wake of the regime change.

Nothing vibes harder than total inconsistency based on how you feel about the messenger.

When Elon Musk was still cool to Progressives, these laws were evil cronyism to them.

My my my how the turn tables.
