Tesla's 0% APR Cybertruck financing: Genius marketing or desperate move?
Tesla's dangling a 0% APR carrot for Cybertruck buyers, but there's a Full Self-Driving shaped catch. Is this a clever tactic to boost sales figures amidst a reported surplus of unsold units, or a sign of deeper concerns about the Cybertruck's market appeal? The requirement to purchase FSD, especially now that basic Autopilot features are locked behind it, adds a significant cost. Is this pushing the boundaries of reasonable upselling?
Consider this: with reported production slowdowns and weaker than anticipated sales, is Tesla trying to artificially inflate demand? Does bundling FSD with financing mask the true cost and potentially overvalue the Cybertruck? What does this move signal about Tesla’s confidence in the Cybertruck's ability to stand on its own merits?
Furthermore, tying essential driver-assist features like Autosteer to FSD raises questions. Is this a legitimate value proposition or a strategic maneuver to boost FSD adoption rates? How do current and prospective Cybertruck owners feel about this shift? Is Tesla prioritizing profit over customer experience?
Let's discuss the implications of this financing offer. Is it a game-changer or a desperate attempt to salvage a flagging launch? Share your thoughts and predictions.
