What do you call a bunch of Tesla Cybertrucks sitting under a tree?

There is a typical medium size "strip mall" just down the street from my neighborhood. One part was a small college years ago but has been closed up for 4 years at least. Recently there has been some remodeling going on and I found out Tesla is building something in the area. Not sure if it is a "Service Center" or what as they don't have dealerships. There is a service center about 2 miles south of this new center. It's always looked like a body shop repair site type thing. Pics are from both sites.

Lately lots of new cars and Cybertrucks have been sitting around both places. I took a few pics today. I'd guess 100 cars and 35 to 40 Cybertrucks are stored. Cybertrucks sitting under pine trees.... Is the boom over? It appears so to me. The pics with arrows are all denoting Cybertrucks.

I understand now why raccoons are mistaking Cybertrucks as dumpsters and try to break into the back trunk. From the back they do look like dumpsters.

Bizarre urgent warning for swanky $80K Tesla Cybertruck owners

Tesla Cybertruck owners may have the pleasure of driving one of trendiest new vehicles on the road, but it hasn't been all glitz and glamour, as they receive a bizarre warning about their trucks.

I think that award has to go to the Pontiac Aztek. I will give the Tesla #2.

The Cybertruck certainly missed the engineering low bar with their headlight performance in snowy conditions.

I just passed one on a hilly road, the only one within 40 miles of me in IL, it damn near blinded me, and they’re reportedly pieces of junk. I think they are Elon’s joke to the world to prove anything will sell if idiots with money think it’s a status symbol.

At least the Aztec was functional... it could take out two drug dealers at once!

Well, at least they’re all pointing in the right direction (slope of the back of them is all the same in the lot). Stainless steel didn’t work out so well for DeLorean, and I see a lot of them with vinyl wraps on (so camo, black, brown, and some other colors)- not too many of them by me but when I visited Colorado, they’re all over the place as well as Rivians (I’ve only seen one by me in SC). I think the whole thing was an exercise in ‘let’s see what we can make’ vs ‘let’s make what we should make’. Some people swear by EV’s but not me, although I would definitely consider a hybrid Toyota or Honda if in the market for one (and just a regular hybrid, not a plug in hybrid).
 
Tesla must have had a big push on the production of their truck. I had not see any on the roads here, not a one. All of sudden the last week or so I have seen several of them and the local Tesla dealer (Or whatever they are called) has a bunch of them.
 
I thought the first one I saw was a one off made as a movie prop. You couldn't let anything with those sharp rear corners on the highway.
looks like every panel can be made on an 8' box and pan brake and there are no stamped body parts.
Read some of motortrend review, pulls a 911 on a trailer faster than a 911, 800 odd hp 575 odd torque low elevens quarter mile drives itself, steer by wire no mechanical back up rear compartment cover can double as a guillotine [which I suppose isn't much worse than some power windows] apparently not crash test certified yet? How does that work. Bad visibility around the front pillars. I think the last place I'd want to see one is in my rear view mirror driving anything.

I just struggled with that last February. I gave my daughter my Ridgeline and was in the market for something smaller with better gas mileage. I didn't really need a truck anymore. I had rented both a 4 cyl gas Camry on one trip to the east coast and a hybrid Accord on another on the west coast. I enjoyed them both, although at first the hybrid was weird lol. I weighed the specs. I didn't really want a CVT trans car, and since I keep vehicles a long time, was worried about the hybrid battery down the road, so went with the 2024 4 cyl gas Camry with a regular gear trans. For 2025 all the Camry are hybrids with CVT transmissions.
