      I was gonna say. Doesn’t seem right that they can just add up the MSRP like that and claim it’s millions worth of something if nobody’s buying. Plus, I’d wager the manufacturing cost of all that is significantly lower.

      I wish the article would tell us how many units instead, for this very reason.

        Last I remember they sold for $80k, plus that makes the math trivial, so… 10000 vehicles?

          Wow that has so much more impact to me, I can really visualise the endless parking lots full of them.

          No, we don’t want the article to make us read. We want the article to grab our heads, pull our ears out and talk the information directly into our faces. You know, “tell us.”

        I’d love to know how much it costs to build each cybertruck, and visualise the other revenue loss of storing these, designing the machinery to build this shit and anything other costs that were factored into sales.

      $0 worth

      I’d be willing to pay that for a cyberdump. Wouldn’t mind the pubic lovingly trashing it either. It even traps passengers while burning like a complimentary self-cleaning oven feature. The disposal fee might be a bitch.

      On further thought, it might not be worth it.
