FAQs
Tesla's much-hyped Cybertruck is hitting an unexpected roadblock, as declining sales have left thousands of the angular electric pickups sitting unsold and now parked in the lot of a disused shopping mall, as per a report.Less than 50,000 Cybertrucks have been sold since its launch in late 2023, which is way below the firm's yearly projection of 250,000 units at Gigafactory Texas, as per IBT. While Tesla CEO Elon Musk had said at that time that the EV giant could reach half a million trucks each year, as per the report.However, Tesla had trouble selling even 40,000 Cybertrucks in its first year, and its sales fell even more this year. The EV maker sold only 6,000 units during the first quarter of 2025, according to the report.Tesla had already started slowing down production earlier this year due to low demand and has now introduced massive discounts and introduced substantial price reductions of up to $10,000 on its angular pickup, reported IBT.Recently, the EV maker also unveiled its most substantial Cybertruck incentive of 0% APR financing for buyers who also purchase the truck's $8,000 Full Self-Driving Package, reported IBT. The company said that it would provide interest-free loans for Cybertruck until the end of the month, according to the report.As per data provided by inventory trackers, Tesla's Cybertruck stock in the US is currently more than 3,700 units, which is valued at over $300 million, as per IBT. Tesla's offer until 30 June could be the company's attempt to decrease its inventory before the quarter ends, reported IBT.Sales are much lower than expected, and now thousands of unsold trucks are just sitting in a mall parking lot.Only 6,000 units were sold in the first quarter of 2025, as per IBT.

Trump's mistrust of Vance grows day by day after Musk turns against him: Report
President Donald Trump is increasingly rattled after his fallout with Elon Musk, who recently turned against him and publicly pushed Vice President JD Vance as a possible replacement. Speaking on The Daily Beast Podcast, journalist and best-selling Trump biographer Michael Wolff painted a picture of a president feeling cornered by people within his own camp. One of those people is Vance, the Ohio senator-turned-vice president. Wolff pointed out that Trump never fully trusted Vance and viewed him as 'an unlikely Republican' with most of his grassroots energy coming not from traditional conservatives but from 'the tech bro community.' ALSO READ| How did things get from bad to worse between Donald Trump and Elon Musk? A step-by-step guide POTUS' decision to name Vance as his running mate was not entirely his own it came partly under pressure from Musk. Now, 'He will set up what we will see as a set of tests that Vance is going to have to endure and pass,' Wolff said. '(Vance has) got to profess his absolute loyalty to Trump, or he will just be marginalized within the administration.' Vance has already started trying to reassure Trump of his loyalty, saying during the Musk-Trump spat, 'I'm the vice president to President Trump. My loyalties are always going to be with the president,' before adding, 'I think it's a huge mistake for (Musk) to go after the president like that.' 'Trump demands flattery on a constant basis,' Wolff said, suggesting that Vance will need to walk a very fine line if he wants to maintain Trump's trust. Following a claim Musk made on X that Trump's name appeared in Jeffrey Epstein's files, Wolff called it another 'existential threat.' 'The Epstein stuff floats around Trump as a consistent threat, as a consistent silver bullet really,' Wolff said. 'Musk could always bring back the threat/' The White House Communications Director, Steven Chung, quickly hit back with, 'He (Wolff) is an imbecile of the highest order, and his Trump Derangement Syndrome-addled brain has caused him to lead a miserable existence devoid of reality,' per Daily Beast.

Kash Patel reacts to Tesla CEO's 'crazy' Trump claim 'Nothing he says is the truth and he resorts to outlandish falsehoods in order to stay relevant since Father Time has passed him by 20 years ago,' Chung added, calling Wolff 'a blithering idiot who has been widely discredited due to his blatant lies and fabrications.'

Best of BS Opinion: Fix the infection first, not just the surface symptoms
You can keep changing the bandage, but if the wound is festering, the rot spreads deeper. That's the thing about patchwork solutions, they cover up the mess, but they don't fix it. In policymaking, in industry, even in the stories we tell ourselves, surface-level corrections often distract from foundational decay. The balm of a scheme, a reform, a big bet, none of it works if the root cause stays untouched. You can't fast-forward progress while sidestepping the infection underneath. Let's dive in. Take India's celebrated decline in poverty, from 27.1 per cent in 2011-12 to 5.3 per cent today under the World Bank's updated benchmark. On the surface, this is a healing wound. But as our first editorial argues, the data hides gaps: rural-urban disparities, outdated metrics, and the government's continued reliance on global estimates. Without India defining its own poverty benchmarks and conducting regular evaluations, targeted policy becomes guesswork, just more gauze over a still-bleeding wound. Similarly, reforms in India's Special Economic Zones (SEZs) offer a modern dressing for a decades-old failure. As our second editorial explains, relaxing land and sourcing rules aims to attract semiconductor manufacturing, but the structural issues persist: fractured ecosystems, poor infrastructure, and policy inertia. Without fixing these systemic flaws or passing crucial legislation like the shelved DESH Bill, SEZs will keep limping along, all bandage, no cure. That same ecosystem blind spot haunts India's critical minerals strategy. Laveesh Bhandari highlights how mismatched timelines between mining, processing, and manufacturing create market failure. The solution? Not just easing regulations but syncing the entire value chain. Because speeding up one link while others lag doesn't heal the system, it just transfers the stress. In entertainment, too, deeper shifts are happening. Vanita Kohli-Khandekar tracks the rise of regional OTT platforms. While profitable, these players succeed not through cosmetic tweaks but by deeply understanding their local audiences, proof that sustainable growth demands tailored, embedded strategy, not surface-level scale chasing. And in Hubris Maximus: The Shattering of Elon Musk, Prosenjit Datta reviews Faiz Siddiqui's take on Elon Musk, a man constantly in crisis, yet always rebooting. But even Musk may find that without true introspection, you can only bandage over chaos for so long before it infects the empire you've built. Stay tuned!
