Cybertrucks stranded at US mall expose Tesla’s sales and image crisis (Instagram @teslamotors)
Dozens of unsold Tesla Cybertrucks were spotted parked at an abandoned shopping mall in Michigan, USA, causing annoyance among residents and raising concerns from local authorities.
The space, located near a Tesla service center, is reportedly being used as a storage area, but this goes against the region’s zoning regulations. The city has already notified those responsible and launched an inspection process to address the issue.
The situation highlights the difficulties Tesla is facing in selling the Cybertruck. Despite Elon Musk’s optimistic projections, the automaker has delivered fewer than 50,000 units since launch, with around 10,000 vehicles still without buyers. Low demand has led the company to slow down production and reassign employees to other lines, such as the Model Y.
Additionally, Tesla is struggling with image and quality issues. The brand has lost appeal with part of the public due to Musk’s political involvement and the numerous recalls of the model—already totaling eight—including one that affected nearly all vehicles sold.
Despite a stock spike following Trump’s election, the company’s value has dropped significantly, reflecting the challenges Tesla faces both in the market and public opinion.
