> Despite a production capacity of 250,000 units per year at Giga Texas, the Cybertruck is currently selling at a run rate of roughly 20,000 to 25,000 units annually.

How can such an overcapacity be possible ? Is that a massive failure of market analysis ?

On the other hand, is the factory building the cybertruck easy to modify to build other, most successful models ? I hear there is demand for billions of autonomous robotaxis.

Partially. Turns out that the cost, size, impracticality, and look turn off most people who would buy an EV.

But then there is also the active brand sabotage by the CEO, whose state of mind the Cybertruck seems to originate from and embody.
