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.
I like how people don’t hate it because its electric, they hate it because it’s objectively terrible. Maybe if it didn’t stink like a dead nazi, people would buy it.
It’s ugly, and it looks like it jumped off the screen from the Cyberpunk 2077 world. It’s poorly built and ineffective at the job it was designed to do. And then Elon did his thing, and now it’s irrevocably tied to a dead Mid-20th Century ideology that the entire world fought to dismantle. I’m glad it’s falling by the wayside. An object lesson – don’t build stupidly engineered items, and don’t tout murderous ideologies that get a majority of the world against you.
I agree completely. I mean back in the 80’s they were envisioning cool stuff like this:
… and instead Telsa decided to put out something that looks like some guy tried to turn his shed into a car.
It’s actually a decent little sci-fi from the Knight Rider/Airwolf era. It stares Desi Arnaz & Lucille Ball’s son.
Yes! It’s a fun show, and Chuck Wagner had charisma for days!
