Sale of Tesla Cybertruck has hit a bit of a wall since running through its entire booking backlog of just over a year. Now, in an effort to lower the overall price, the automaker is returning a limited edition Foundation Series trucks to ordinary Cyber ​​trucksaccording to a report from Electrek. Originally, Foundation Series trucks were intended for reservation holders onlysince they were the first to be produced. They all had a $20,000 price drop and a bundle of features and accessories, as well as laser-etched badging. Well, it looks like not enough reservation holders actually wanted the $120,000 truck.

Now Tesla is retiring some of these trucks to sell them as regular Cybertrucks, according to Electrek. It’s not clear if Tesla will get rid of the extra features and accessories these trucks originally received. Still, it will polish off the laser-etched badging on the Cybertruck’s stainless steel body and remove it from the interior. To do this, Tesla will reportedly send the trucks to service and collision centers around the United States. Once completed, they will be sold at a $20,000 discount.

Since things are so rocky too Cyber ​​truckthe Austin, Texas-based automaker also plans to modify over 800 Cybertrucks to homologate them for the Canadian market, according to Electek’s report. Apparently Tesla thinks it has a better chance of selling them to Canadians rather than Americans who demand here has pretty much dried up.

What a disaster. That’s really crazy Tesla was able to blow through over a million reservations in approximately one year with only 40,000-50,000 deliveries. I can’t wait to see where Cyber ​​truck sales figures will land in a year or two. I know it won’t be good. Well, maybe they will improve when first cheaper Cybertruck coming out the door, but who knows when that will actually happen?

I’m sorry, this is way too funny. What kind of serious car company would do such a thing – or put themselves in this position? In any case CEO Elon Musk eye on the ball right now. It’s not like he’s trying to run the federal government or anything.
