They’ve gotten so much money for the Cyber Truck “orders” without even delivering a product to the customers for yeaaarrs. How is that legal?

I’ll get my $100 deposit back when their $40k electric pickup truck turns out to be $78k, just like Ford did. Not worried.

100% agree, no way it’ll be $40k. Still crazy that as of 2021 there were 1.5M orders, which means they’ve been holding and most likely making interest on $150,000,000+

They probably spent it, though.

So you gave them an interest free loan for a few years?

Pretty much, yeah. Assuming 5% interest for the 25 months they’ve had it, Tesla has made a little over $10 off my deposit so far. I hope they enjoy two happy meals with their gains. I’ll be fine.

Why wait? Just go to their website and request it back now. That’s what i did last year.

Beats the shit out of me. But now corporations are being treated as people so maybe it’s a welfare subsidy? 😆

As long as they don’t realize the funds as income or use them for anything, they can hold deposits pretty much indefinitely. Accountants hate it though.
