And Elon Musks recent antics in Washington, D.C. are only helping to further alienate customers.$7,500 Tax Credit Expected To Vanish SoonEven $6000 discounts aren't drawing buyers into showrooms.

Outside the factory, a sizable and expanding stock of unsold Cybertrucks is collecting dust, forcing Tesla to slap on further discounts. In fact, the Cybertruck's long-term sustainability is being called into question by these latest developments.The recently launched 2025 Cybertruck is now eligible for the $7,500 federal tax credit for electric vehicles, but not the 2024 model, which Tesla still has in inventory. Speaking of that tax credit, by the way, recent utterings from GOP senators suggest that the handy $7,500 incentive may be eliminated soon, as was promoted by President Trump on the campaign trail. So what is the EV company doing? Tesla has decided to discount its 2024 Cybertrucks by as much as $4,000 for the standard spec and $6,000 for its Foundations Series.Production Target Of 250,000 Is Not FeasibleThe challenges Tesla has had trying to sell its Cybertrucks are widely documented. Earlier this year, we heard that the company was using unusual strategies to sell vehicles like lowering prices and even removing the "Foundation Series" badges from higher spec models and selling them as regular models.The unconventional styling was polarizing.

Given the state of the industry, the companys lofty target of producing 250,000 Cybertrucks a year is arguably just not feasible. Some analysts have suggested that the EV company will need to prioritize production of a cheaper single-motor Cybertruck to boost demand.The Cybertruck Did Not Live Up To The HypeThe situation surrounding the Cybertruck emphasizes how difficult it is to introduce unusual vehicles to the market. Although there was a lot of initial hype around the trucks futuristic unconventional design and electric drivetrain, its high cost and initial limited supply prevented its wider adoption.Price cuts and discounts can work if theres a decent client base sitting on the fence considering a purchase. But with the standard all-wheel-drive model and its $4,000 discount, how many people are going to say, "Not at $66,990. But Ill take it as $62,990!? Only relevant in America as no other country will permit sales, the Cybertrucks shine seems to be fading more and more with each passing day.MORE FROM FORBES
