The best job in the world

It’s worth noting that the “decrease in demand” is just a journalist’s guess, because the internal message doesn’t actually make it clear why employees are being instructed to stay at home. But it is clear that the company is ready to pay the price. According to the news of 24 Kanal based on Business Insider, it probably wants to avoid dissatisfaction and possible lawsuits that may arise due to compulsory leaves and salary cuts.

However, according to the source, the news points to the possibility that, despite good sales figures in the third quarter of this year, overall demand has begun to slow down significantly as production of the car increases. This situation may contribute to the inexorable deterioration of the reputation of Cybertruck, which is faced with constant breakdowns, and the decrease in the number of die-hard fans of the brand.

According to the source, some employees of the Cybertruck line have faced unstable work schedules since the end of October. Some reported being sent home or asked to clean instead of performing their direct duties.

When I start working at Tesla, you can expect to receive overtime pay. Now I’ll be lucky if I work 40 hours
– said one of the workers.

While overall sales of electric vehicles are growing rapidly, Tesla sold fewer cars this year than last year, marking a significant decline. Speaking of the Cybertruck, the vehicle has been recalled a total of six times this year due to a series of glaring technical issues and confusing design decisions. This likely meant that collection of new samples could be stopped pending the investigation.

The car also became a red rag for the bull due to its close relationship with Elon Musk, who is increasingly disliked by many for his behavior and statements.

As Futurism previously reported, the cost of used Cybertrucks is also dropping rapidly. This shows that fewer and fewer people want to have a Tesla pickup in their garage.
