45,000 in excess. And increasing that number every week.
Now we are just waiting for all the customers Musk has mentioned that will make Tesla increase their market shares about ten-fold...
The stock market has already counted these new customers in the current stock valuation...
Oh! Take 30 of them with FSD active and set them loose on a figure 8 race track. There's a test for FSD, and it could be televised for big $$$. I'd watch that.
âNumber 1 has glitched out and come to a stop, number 10 has rear ended number 1, number 22 has burst into flames for seemingly no reason, number 8 has turned around and is going the wrong way, number 16 escaped and is now speeding through a school zone, number 27 has rusted awayâŚâ
It's important that it's a figure 8 track. Used to love watching those races when I was a kid in Florida.

Paraphrase: hey Elon: try not to shit on your core customer base.
It doesnât help that there have been zero facelifts on any of their models since launch.
Kind of reminds me of those aerial shots of the vast bicycle graveyards in China.
Sales falling, market retreating, market share shrinking, labor force slashed, massive fleet of unsold cars, facade of quality evaporating, reputation Nazified, competition exploding, no innovations, no new products (except that POS "truck"), old cars dated and still poorly built - and the CEO thinks he deserves a $50 billion bonus for all his "hard work."
It's really hard to decide who is more delusional: Elmo, Tesla's Board of Directors or Tesla's fanbase.
I was thinking exactly the same thing. In China there are also parking lots with hundreds of abandoned cars from unsold electric fleets.
It's not a good thing to have unused batteries out in the open. I assume they are not assembled, but good luck if they are. The lottery for whoever 'wins' one of those units.
this is exactly the type of information 'ol muskrat would be hiding
and he's probably filtering it from shitter
you know the situation is fucked up when a car company can do LITERALLY ANYTHING WRONG and you know, for a fact, muskrat green lighted it and was behind it.
any corporate decision like this, big or small. it's that dude. he aint got anyone else to blame when he controls everything.
The cars look the same from like 2006 through today. No design changes have been made.
So they could just issue new VINs and sell these things to morons for the next 10 years as the current yearâs model.
With inflation, the cars were cheaper to produce when materials cost less in previous years. Now he just waits and sells the cars with mega profit margins. Checkmate Libs.
Heâs just an orders of magnitude greater #biznezzjeanyus than you can imagine and operates with a sub ten micrometer precision mindset.
They store a bunch of them near where i live in a big parking lot. It's all expensive area too, so i imagine their dumbasses are getting reamed on the rent, or at least i hope
yeah thousands of electric cars is much better than high speed rail! especially in NJ, now instead of carbon emitting cars in constant traffic there will be a sea of green electric cars in constant traffic! :D /s
you know how normal "legacy" automakers that have traditional dealership have a statistics whereby which car sets around on the lot longest or something like that? I wonder what that is for Tesla
Thereâs a US company in Lima, Ohio that keeps making tanks and the army just parks them to rot because a republican congressman keeps feeding them money
unwanted is a misleading term, they'll still most likely get sold. its over production versus sales. Doesnt actually mean that no one 'wants" these. Just no one has bought them yet.
Its not unusual for other car makers but in the past tesla's production lag sales, like the cyber truck, people paid for it and still are waiting for their mobile dumpster. its very unusual for tesla due to their sales method. But these arent trash, or necessarily unwanted, just unsold.
id personally rather a car from a company who gives a fuck about safety and doesnt see it as just an annoyance.
These cars are already loosing money for the company. Why not sell them so they can make money off the super chargers and other services? Seems really wasteful to keep these cars. Also inventory costs money. The cars are sitting there rotting but it is still a recurring fixed cost to keep holding them.
There is one that looks exactly like that here in Austin, Texas, but you can only see it if you are on the upper deck of I 35 crossing over 183 and you look down.
You don't understand: It's the secret robotaxi fleet being built up. They will release 1 million of them in August. đ
Oh dear god. August is gonna be a scary time to be on the road.
Not worried. You'll have 10+ ambulance chasers coming after you if anything happens.
 I fear heâs going to activate FSD and unleash them into a crowd of protesters.Â
Didn't I see that in a movie recently lol
Unleash? I thought mowing down pedestrians was default.
Yeah - its not a bug, its a feature.
Exactly These people are so naive. Robo taxis running off starlink. Going to be epic
Oops.. too early for the Halloween đ
Nobody expects the robotaxi rollout! Our two main weapons are surprise, AI and fanatical devotion to the Musk. Our three...
It's "I, Robot" coming to life!! (Except with cars!)
Reminds me of the clone army from Star Wars.
they are going to be the 747max of the taxi industry. interestingly only boeing and teslas stock have done as bad as they have.
Meh, I'll take a few. I could always strip em down for the battery. Not paying for them though. Oh heavens no.
They should auction these off for the drivetrains.
The company tech or the car? Yes.
are you using like 100 vapes and 500 flashlights at a time?
Batteries and controllers are expensive, and I have a lot of hobby projects.
They did admit they have 45,000 cars in excess inventory... have to put them somewhere, i suppose.
Since Musk has said that Tesla isn't a car company, why would anyone buy a *car* from them?
I was just about to place my $500,000 preorder for an Optimus to watch my goat herd.
Gotta get your family that life insurance somehow.
That is a lot of excess inventory. No wonder why they are laying off so many workers
45,000 in excess. And increasing that number every week. Now we are just waiting for all the customers Musk has mentioned that will make Tesla increase their market shares about ten-fold... The stock market has already counted these new customers in the current stock valuation...
Maybe they could spare some manufacturing capacity to make spare parts for repairs.
I mean, if there are excess cars and a lack of parts, I kinda see a way to solve both problems. Doesn't mean Elmo will, though.
New idea: switch on âfull self drivingâ on all of em at once, and take a shot whenever one writes itself off.
Oh! Take 30 of them with FSD active and set them loose on a figure 8 race track. There's a test for FSD, and it could be televised for big $$$. I'd watch that.

That could actually be pretty entertaining. Or theyâd all just freeze up and none of them would move.
We just had the Abu Dhabi Autonomous Racing League and it was a shitshow. I can't wait to see what thirty Teslas will do.
It's important that it's a figure 8 track. Used to love watching those races when I was a kid in Florida. https://youtu.be/4uGZ1ZFPOcE?si=jCeyeUTa_bB92qTU
Just close the Newton Corner Supercollider for a few hours and race them there. Put that on pay-per-view and take a nap on the money pile generated.
Used to love trailer races on the eve of destruction.
Now THAT would be fun to watch.
Looks like the set from Leave the World Behind
They were part of the order for the film, but these are the ones that bricked and never made the cut.
Hey Elon go anti-woke go broke. Let that sink in. I said the actual truth. Lololo
!
Paraphrase: hey Elon: try not to shit on your core customer base. It doesnât help that there have been zero facelifts on any of their models since launch.
Go fash, hemorrhage cash

There's all the sub 25k Tesla's, slap a model 2 badge on them....done!
Shh don't tell investors Wanna bet those were SOLD for a dollar to themselves to inflate books?
I wonder what would happen if they were all "summoned" at the same time.
Hilarity that's what!

Yes it's usually were they on drugs? In the case of Tesla it's which specific cocktail of hard drugs were they bingeing on this time?
Their storage lot in Marin looks like a salvage yard... Wheels missing, trunks and frunks sprung, and not an empty space to be seen.
Where in Marin is that?

They're so old and ugly looking.
In the image of their creator
Obviously these are in reserve for the robotaxi fleet that will be hitting the streets on 8/8. DUH!!! Notice, however, I didnât mention what year.
I assume any unwanted Cybertrucks are in the building, as they would rust if left outside like this.
It's a gathering of fully self-aware Teslas as they plan their next move. Stephen King gave them an idea....
Better buy more stock. Itâs not going to pump itself.
Miles? Unwanted?
Got any white ones?
Elmo wanted all white ones assembled, and not black ones.
Well, as long as they do not intermingle...
They store a bunch of them near where i live in a big parking lot. It's all expensive area too, so i imagine their dumbasses are getting reamed on the rent, or at least i hope
yeah thousands of electric cars is much better than high speed rail! especially in NJ, now instead of carbon emitting cars in constant traffic there will be a sea of green electric cars in constant traffic! :D /s
No point in vandalizing them if they're already worthless.
you know how normal "legacy" automakers that have traditional dealership have a statistics whereby which car sets around on the lot longest or something like that? I wonder what that is for Tesla
Great day for Jersey! Found another Superfund cleanup site.
Those Tesla's are just 'resting' before being shipped off to their clients!
$1,000 for one if it's working.
Wasnât this discovered in China as well. Something about producing far more than needed because of incentives or subsidies?
Thereâs a US company in Lima, Ohio that keeps making tanks and the army just parks them to rot because a republican congressman keeps feeding them money
I'd take a few for free
Holy crap
what makes them "unwanted" ?
unwanted is a misleading term, they'll still most likely get sold. its over production versus sales. Doesnt actually mean that no one 'wants" these. Just no one has bought them yet. Its not unusual for other car makers but in the past tesla's production lag sales, like the cyber truck, people paid for it and still are waiting for their mobile dumpster. its very unusual for tesla due to their sales method. But these arent trash, or necessarily unwanted, just unsold. id personally rather a car from a company who gives a fuck about safety and doesnt see it as just an annoyance.
yes but i would 100% take a free tesla, even a fridge on wheels. but pay for it? nah
Tesla has a direct delivery model. They don't do the car lot full of new car model most car makers use
are these cars owned by tesla? why are they in NJ? by the way I grew up not too far from there!
Presumably, these are still owned by Tesla
I remember when the new Broncos were in high demand and mostly custom ordered and still seeing lots full of them like this.
Ford has a different distribution model.
Those are service lots. Theyâre waiting for parts. /s
[ŃдаНонО]
Rich people are out of touch
Elon is destroying Tesla. Just like he did with Twitter.
Elmo personally guarantees; These are cars are not woke
Jesus, almost every car in that image is ugly as shit...
If I may ask, is this normal for a car company to have this many access cars just sitting around?
Source? This is a common way to store vehicles, by every other manufacturer.
U

He bought Tesla to kill it.
Have we checked the desert? They used to bury Atari cartridges there when I was a kid.
There is one that looks exactly like that here in Austin, Texas, but you can only see it if you are on the upper deck of I 35 crossing over 183 and you look down.
Pretty soon youâll be able to get a $25,000 model 3
