But almost six years later, the truck’s surreal design, awkward size, high price, and late delivery have turned it into a niche curiosity, not a mass-market hit.
How the fuck do you write an article about the failed Cybertruck and not acknowledge Elon’s political bullshit impacting Tesla sales?!?
Dishonest shit.
Biggest takeaway; the media is still in denial.
The media is still ~~in denial~~ receiving money from the right.
The media used to invent positive stories about Tesla, but now they are only looking for negative stories. For a stock whose entire value is based on a stock price supported by smoke and PR, that's a death sentence. Now that the bubble has popped, it will never re-inflate. Now Tesla has to fly based on the actual performance of its products, it's company, and it's leadership, which is abysmal on all counts. It will never return to its former glory, and will continue to slide as each quarterly earnings report gets worse and worse.
I give Tesla 2 years before it declares bankruptcy.
I don't think anyone credible sincerely thought the cyber truck was going to do well
Cybertruck sales not even nein thousand?!
I think Musk drew this thing on the back of an envelope and forced it through to production against the protests and objections of everybody in Tesla. It sucks as a truck, it sucks as an EV, it costs way too much money, it's so dangerous that it is banned in most of the world, it's impractical, costly to repair, uninsurable and it falls to bits. It's no wonder the thing failed.
Go Nazi Go Bust
They go from Zero to 1939 faster than one can ask Grok what time it is.
9:00am
Hey, Grok, what time is it?
NEIN
I wonder, when they hit 88 Mph, does on transport back in time to apartheid South Africa?
"We're gonna see some serious shit. ...Wait, this is a bit too serious."
If they go faster than 60 the wheels fall off
It’s a fair question. The whole 88 mph thing from back to the future was a joke because no one thought a delorian could go that fast.
I flip them off now. I'm doing my part!
I feel like 4306 units sold in one quarter is still quite a lot all things considered.
The market comparison is important. It outsold the EV Silverado by about 1000 and was outsold by the F150 EV by about 1000 units. The market cooled on all electric trucks, probably due to price and current economic conditions.
