PHYSIX OBSERVATION
Raising prices before production ends is essentially about clearing inventory, pressuring buyers to order, and protecting margins—not driven by demand. Cybertruck sales are sluggish, capacity utilization is only about 12%, and Tesla has abandoned the volume strategy. For buyers, the entry price has risen from the promised $39,900 to $92,500; this vehicle never found its positioning and has ultimately become a niche, high-priced product.
