The truck that was supposed to revolutionize everything is flopping fast.

The hype is dead. The Tesla Cybertruck, once billed as the future of electric vehicles, is now looking like a commercial bust.

In the second quarter of 2025, Tesla sold just 4,306 Cybertrucks, down a staggering 50.8% from the 8,755 units it delivered during the same period last year, according to new data from Kelley Blue Book. This plunge is a signal that America’s most hyped truck may already be out of gas.

    Delorean built his cars in Northern Ireland during the Troubles while also smuggling drugs to try to keep the company solvent, and he still managed to produce a better vehicle than Musk did. At least Delorean managed to pick a stainless steel alloy that was actually stainless!

      First of all, it’s stain less not stain never. Second of all, Musk would do all the drugs instead of smuggling them. Finally, the cybertruck as is an engineering failure and no amount of money can fix it.

        Most people think of the thing in <thing>less like the tank in a tankless water heater, rather than like less sodium in reduced sodium soy sauce.

        You made all my points for me, only one note: I can properly fix a cybertruck for $20USD. maybe less what have petrol prices been doing lately
