A while back, I read an article by a guy who had inherited a SwastiKKKar from an uncle, including free life-time charging. He didn’t like the idea of driving a Tesla, but free was free.
It wasn’t the reactions of others that made him throw in the towel on it, it was the poor build quality. He thought it felt cheap and rattley so he traded it in for a smokin hot Mustang. He lost a fortune over what the car was bought for, but it was free to him, so he didn’t care.
So somewhere inbetween as the article says “more than 10,000 units” and “$800m” so they appear to be valuing them at ~$80k/unit which is ridiculously optimistic.
My guess is closer to 1/3rd of that value but nobody likes to lose half a billion in the blink of an eye
If nobody wants them, then they are worth $0.
Jokes on you, I’d pay $1 for the lot.
Prepare to pay a $200m fine for littering.
You could definitely sell those for more than $0. The batteries alone aren’t cheap.
I was debating if I’d be willing to take a free cybertruck, your comment reminded me i could take it straight to the scrap yard

i don’t have full confidence it will make it to the scrapyard

They’re worth something as scrap, I’m sure.
