  • Welcome to my exclusive first look at the highly anticipated Cybertruck. Explore every angle of the Cybertruck's bold exterior and cutting-edge features, from its stainless steel exoskeleton to its state-of-the-art interior.
    In this captivating video, witness over 500 Teslas gathered in an abandoned mall's parking lot located just outside of St. Louis Missouri, with a critical examination of what it might signify for the demand of Tesla vehicles. Could the abundance of Cybertrucks and Tesla vehicles hint at shifting consumer preferences or a new era in automotive design?

    The local Tesla Service Center in my area did the same with their inventory cars coming in. They didn’t have much room in their parking lot for them as they came in, so they parked them in the parking lot of a local mall that didn’t have many stores and customers. I was able to drive by the mall parking lot in my area and found my vehicle as I was waiting on my delivery pickup date.

      They were saying Tesla had a big problem with inventory this time last year. We bought my wife's Model Y in the Q3 last year and the sales center had a big parking lot with hundreds of Teslas on it. It turned out to be a nuthin's burger. .... edit; I just went to the Tesla order page to see how long I had to wait for delivery of the Model Y I own now. ----> It wouldn’t be delivered until June. All the Ys and 3s were either May-June or June. A Sales Center, or 2, piling up with Teslas means very little. In fact it sounds like the myths and half-truths haters of all EVs like to spread.

    I get what you are trying to do, but this is just a storage place until sold because of the overflow from a center. The Rivian is nice, and clearly you are pro Rivian. However, this video might not hold too much weight. The truth is, all other EV companies are playing catch up to Tesla. While I like all EVs, Tesla is just the standard. Your video is misleading, and way overhyped as you are trying to imply Teslas are not selling well, and people are not interested anymore. I do respect all opinions, and I like your stuff...but this video is far fetched and reaching just to kinda talk down on Tesla at this point. Again, I like your content...but the truth is...Tesla is the standard for EVs.

      While this is my opinion it is backed by facts and data. According to Cox, Tesla sales are down 13% since the first quarter of last year and Tesla market share his dropped over 10% (from 61.7% down to 51.3%) since last year. However, everyone else's EV sales are up and some in double digits (BMW).
      Almost every one of the predictions I have made about the auto industry have come to past. I'm just waiting to see who will pull out of the NACS deal first. I called GM a year ago.

    I own both Tesla and Rivian. I got my Model Y first. Agree, the looks of the Y have become very typical to people. I’ve gotten way more complements about the Rivian than I ever did with Y. However, There is no comparison between Rivian and Tesla when it comes to the operating system and user interface. Tesla is way ahead of the game. On the other hand, the build quality of the Rivian is much better. Let’s talk door gaskets. The Model Y only has a single gasket between the interior and the doors, so dust gets everywhere in the door sills, on the inner painted surfaces of the doors, all over the hinges. I was very pleased to see the double door on hood gaskets on the Rivian.

You should already know that Tesla don't have the typical car yard type of business so they need somewhere to put the cars until they are collected. They don't have a demand problem. How do you know how many of these are waiting to be picked up and how many are inventory. This really is a nothing burger by the news report and yourself. Ask yourself how many Toyota sales yards are in your state and then add up all the cars that are sitting in those lots. You wouldn't of seen this many cars when you picked up your Rivian cause there are stuff all orders for Rivian compared to Tesla

    Your speculation is incorrect. To clarify, this is a staging area prior to dealership receiving them for conditioning for delivery center. Each one of those Cybertrucks are spoken for by a person who pre-ordered back in 2019, or a longterm shareholder. A little research goes a long way.

    • @thedukeofmanville
      @thedukeofmanville  Před měsícem

      Yes, you correct. this is a staging area for the Tesla service center a couple of miles away from this site. However, it is also true that this is an excessive amount of inventory which is why it made the news in the first place. This Tesla service center has been open since 2013, and the have been using this lot since the fall of 2023.
      Also, "Tesla's deliveries declined by 8.5% in the first quarter to 386,810 vehicles from a year ago and the company produced 433,371 vehicles during the period. Wall Street had expected Tesla to deliver 454,200 vehicles (Reuters, April 2 ,2024)." Therefore, this along with the layoffs, and 10% loss in market share in the U.S. alone points to a demand issue.
      I know you may not be familiar with my content, but I conduct extensive research in order to provide a fair fact based analysis. If you have credible information to refute my claims I am happy to review it and provide a public correction. Also, I predicted this a year ago in this video: czcams.com/video/KlaIn7NGKKE/video.html

And I had no cameras to assist with parking. My son has no issue parking his Silverado. I don't mind the looks, but I can see why it turns many off. For me it's the features/tech in the Tesla that win me over. Add in the Super Charger Network and it's hard for me to go for any others. Honestly, I really want a van, so will be looking at Volvo's when it's available. But if it doesn't support NACS that's going to be a big negative.

    EV sales are slowing everywhere. In California, EV heaven, hybrids now outsell EVs. Rivian is not immune to the slowdown. Stock is tanking ($10 per share), they are giving away free PPF ($5000 value) to move inventory, laying off people and the Georgia plant has been shelved. If Tesla is catching a cold, Rivian will get double pneumonia.
    "Tesla style is not going to be appealing to a mass market of people". Say what, Holmes? The model Y is the best-selling vehicle on the planet. Is that not mass-market enough? Of course, their market share will decline as other players enter the market, but they are still the dominant player with the best software, performance and charging experience. Yes, far better than the R1T and I own one along with a Y Performance.
    Many vehicle purchasers are attracted primarily by design and styling as you appear to be, but other customers want performance, safety and reliability. They are looking for a reliable appliance not a vehicle with mystique or making a statement. The Tesla Model Y has the IIHS highest safety rating ever achieved. The R1T was rated "good". I would think that would be more important to a family man than curb appeal, perhaps not.

There are 72 Model Ys, 6 Model 3s, 16 Model Xs, and 15 Model Ss, for a total of 109 Teslas in inventory in my area. There are 5 stores/service centers in my area within 100 miles. That means each Tesla Center averages a little over 20 inventory cars per center. That doesn't strike me a bad at all. In fact, it strikes me as excellent.

      @@thedukeofmanville Me, counting my area, or anybody else counting their sales center is anecdotal. If there were hundreds of Teslas overflowing at most sales centers, the stories by Tesla haters and the fake news looking for views would be ubiquitous. I've seen only one or two isolated examples. . .... And you do know Tesla sales were down in the US largely because Fremont was having trouble ramping up the new Model 3, which caused Model 3 sales to crash. Who wants an old one? Everyone just waiting for the new one. The new Model 3 reviews have been universally extremely positive, comparing the Model 3 to the best sedans in this category. ... Hence, no Model 3 inventory in my area.

    The Cybertruck is not appealing to many. But it has some state-of-the-EV-art technology that will win over some purchasers. BTW, the Cybertruck outsold the Rivian R1T from November 2023 to April of 2024.... roughly 3500 vs 3800, and I'll bet you a Benny it doubles the sales of the R1T in Q2. Another thing, comparing a model 3 ($39K) to the cheapest BMW EV (I4) $54K before dealer mark-up.... makes no sense. The vehicles are in a different market segment and price bracket. As for Tesla's decline, consider this headline yesterday from Clean Technica and WSJ regarding Q1 sales ..."Tesla Still Sells More EVs In USA Than Ford, Chevrolet, Hyundai, Kia, Audi, BMW, Chevrolet, & Toyota Combined". Seems like a lot of people care about performance, software and charging over styling.

    • @thedukeofmanville

      Rivian has its own set of demand issues which I addressed in a previous video, but they are not the same as Teslas. The Rivian R1T and the Cybertruck are not mass market vehicles. Also where did you get a production breakdown for Rivian since they don't release that information?
      In addition, you are making the same mistake that many in the EV bubble make; comparing EVs against EVs when they should be compared to their ICE counterparts.
      The top 3 selling vehicles in 2023 in the U.S. are ICE trucks from Ford, Chevy, and Dodge, and none of these companies care about selling EVs because they make all of their profits off of big ICE trucks and SUVs. In other words, Tesla is still the only real EV car maker (Rivian makes trucks, vans, and SUVs) and poses no threat to the Big Three who BTW don't make any cars.
      I made a video a year ago explaining all of this. If you want a well research perspective watch this video: czcams.com/video/JpBw_5Mqj-s/video.html
      This is just part one.

    As some other comments, I assume the CT’s are for customer deliveries along with the S and X ones in general. Didn’t see many 3’s as you drove/walked by. I was trying to notice if any of those 3’s were the new ones. But, for the Y’s, yea, I think over producing vs demand given they have excess capacities for production on the Y.
    The vehicles have pros/cons like any other. Glad we have choices and each person can decide for themselves :-)

    I don't follow your channel, and it looks like you like saving money and believe in EVs because you drive a Rivian. But what do you get out of these when you try, and at least it seem like you are trying to put down a company that literally changed the entire auto industry the last 8 years to push for more EVs? I own 2 Tesla. I bought the TSLA stock the first time I've ever driven an EV because I was really impressed of the handling and comfort. I owned a lot cars, BMW M3, Porche 911, Toyota 4 Runners, BMW X3, but they all became nothing but maintenance hustles that cost me more money in the long run and gas prices is ridiculous. So traded the Toyota and Porsche for a Tesla. I got all the tax rebates and used the money I saved, not paying for gas to invest more into my stock portfolio. I figure investing in stocks is better in the long run than owning low depreciation cars like Porsche and Toyota 4Runner. So why the hate? You just hate Elon and think he is a narcissist ahole? Yeah, I respect that. I also don't like the things he say. You think the Tesla stock is way over valued for a car company. I get that. But i also don't like Apple, i have a Google phone, but Apple makes great products. So, I'm also heavily invested in Apple stock as well, and it's been great so far. Yeah this look bad for Tesla, but the fact that every news, sites, blogs, and YT, talks about Tesla, especially if it's a negative narrative, is mind-boggling. I am not a Tesla stock pumper, I just like the products and if you like something nothing wrong in investing in it. Just want to get the opinion of a level headed guy who likes EVs, except Tesla.
