Tesla is under pressure from Michigan authorities after the results of unsold cybertrucks were discovered parked in a closed shopping center at the Farmington Hills, causing concerns for violations of local zoning regulations.
Over the past few weeks, local residents and social media users have posted images and videos showing lines of cybertrucks lined up at the Square Hunter shopping center at Orchard Lake Road.
The site is adjacent to a Tesla service center in West Bloomfield, leading to speculation that the facility is using the lottery as an overflowing site to manage the unsold inventory. Reports estimate that more than 100 vehicles are collected in space.
Tesla employees collecting trucks told CBS Detroit that the property is owned by the same party that administers the nearby service center and that the vehicles were planned to distribute the client. However, the city of Farmington Hills has received a problem with this explanation.
“The city of Farmington Hills The Code Implementation Office has been in communication with the management of the Hunter Square Shopping Center to resolve the issue,” told CBS detox to Charmaine Kettler-Schmult, Director of Planning and Development of the City Community.
“They have been announced that vehicle storage is not a permissible use. The implementation process is being followed and it takes time.”
Tesla’s decision to store trucks on this site has highlighted the company’s battles in the sale of Cybertruck – a CEO of the Elon Musk model once protected as a basic entry into the electricity market.
According to data from Cox Automotive, Tesla sold just over 6,000 cybertrucks in the first quarter of 2025, bringing total shipments to less than 50,000 units since the vehicle’s debut.
Tesla had initially predicted annual sales could reach up to 250,000 units.
In 2024, Tesla gave about 40,000 cybertrucks – approximately 10,000 less than Wall Street analysts were expected.
The gap between forecasting and reality has led to a significant construction in inventory, with Electrek recently reporting that the company had about 10,000 rated online.
In response, Tesla has reduced truck production.
Automaker began to be re -set by workers from the production line in Cybertruck in its most successful Model Y operation since December 2024, according to employees who spoke about Business Insider.
Tesla’s sales have also fallen in the midst of a wide reaction to Musk’s active role as Doge chief in the Trump administration – which has sparked protests and acts of vandalism.
The Tesla brand, once synonymous with advanced innovation, has become more and more polarized as the company sails a series of public relations and logistical obstacles.
In December, the company’s shares benefited from a “Trump clash” in the November 5 election-joining a comprehensive height of approximately $ 480 per share.
Since then, however, tanned shares with more than 50% – though it has been recovered in recent weeks after Musk has shown that it would devote more time to running the company.
The situation is further complicated by a series of memories that have plagued the Internet since the first reached consumers.
Eight memories have been released so far, with problems ranging from the wrong glass wipers to the late rear camera screens.
The most recent memory touched about 46,000 vehicles – almost every cybertruck sold at that point – due to concerns that a stainless steel panel can be disconnected while the vehicle is in motion.
Representatives for Tesla were not immediately available for comment.
