Tesla Can't Find Legal Places to Store All Its Unsold Cybertrucks Tesla's in hot water. Suburban Wasteland Tesla is seriously struggling to find enough room for all of its unsold Cybertrucks. In a particularly dramatic example, the increasingly unpopular pickups have been piling up in the parking lot of a shuttered Bed Bath & Beyond store in a Detroit suburb shopping center, Automotive News reports, in a violation of local code.

There was a semi on her right. Workers were in between the trucks, and there was no left shoulder. She slammed on the brakes and yelled.

Last month, Aurora Innovation became the first company to operate a fully driverless semi truck service on American highways. And by "fully driverless," we mean that no one — not a soul — was sitting in the driver's seat as the autonomous truck performed its first official delivery, barreling down a stretch of Texas's Interstate 45 with its 25,000 pound haul of frozen treats in tow. There was, in fact, zero human supervision. At least, not unless your idea of supervision is a man lounged in th

Recap: Although the Cybertruck began missing CEO Elon Musk's stated goals as soon as it launched in late 2023, the odd-looking electric pickup truck sold well out of the gate. However, the vehicle's commercial performance has tanked over the last few months. Musk's political activities have soured public opinion on the company and contributed to declining global sales. Multiple signs from the last two quarters indicate that sales of Tesla vehicles are declining more sharply than ever. The compa

With a reputation for breaking down constantly and drawing the ridicule of just about every other driver on the road, the stainless steel tanks aren't exactly a popular choice for car buyers. Ea

Prior to its release, Elon Musk touted Tesla's futuristic-looking Cybertruck as "apocalypse-proof" — but the reality, according to those who are prepping for the actual end times, falls far from that mark. As The Guardian reports, survivalist types have grown concerned that Musk's supposedly indestructible, fully electric truck is not only easy to damage, but also has become too negative a status symbol.

As Electrek reports, the automaker's inventory of unsold Cybertrucks has reached a record high of over 10,000 units — even as it reportedly slows down production of the disastrous vehicle. The figure is an estimate based on the number of Cybertruck listings in the US, tracked by Tesla-Info.com.
