The CT sales are <10% of their capacity, per your wording. Do you think Model Y sales are down 90%?

No doubt Elon is destroying the profitability of his company by being a public asshole, but the Cybertruck is a fundamentally flawed vehicle (almost) nobody asked for, which is why it's a flop. By comparison, (refreshed) 3 and Y sales are not off by nearly as much, and some of that is just because they're just refreshes of existing vehicles people have been buying for many years, and there's a lot more competition in the EV market, and overall EV sales are slowing.

Not really sure what you're referring to by "per your wording", but Tesla sales were down YoY both Q1 and Q2 of 2025.

Q1 was handwaved away back in April as "oh people are waiting for the new models" but then Q2 was down as well.

Sorry, must have been another thread, not your wording.

Someone pointed out CT production is <10% of their planned capacity. So the CT is underperforming by 90%, but I'm sure 3/Y sales are _not_ down by 90%. Meaning the CT is an outsize failure, even if you take into account Elon tanking Tesla sales in general, and overall slowing or at least plateauing EV sales.
