Many projects in his companies seem to be more and more Musk's vanity projects than ideas/products one can take seriously. This is also how tesla ended up with a huge cybertruck stock that nobody wants to buy and thus had to be bought by his other companies. And it is becoming worse and worse, especially ever since he bought twitter and sped up his twitting rates.
FWIW it looks there’s now a demand surge with the introduction of the new cheap cybertruck variant. delivery dates pushed out to the fall of 2026.
That was an artificial boost created by setting a time-limit for a low price. There were ten days to buy at the price, then they put it back up. [1]

EDIT: grammar
What's an artificial boost? Sounds like you're describing a sale.

Look up what their production targets were and compare that to their sales. A small temporary demand surge isn't going to be enough to chew through their current inventory, let alone keep the production lines busy.
A push on delivery dates is as likely to mean production issues as it is an influx of interest.

Drivel. They’re selling just as well as Rivians.
