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.

    1. musk inflates numbers to match his ego.

    2. many, many, people canceled their preorder when they discovered he’s a fucking asshole.

    3. several orders of magnitude more got tired of waiting and canceled because it too long to come out (also the base price went up by 20k,)
