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.
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 denialreceiving money from the right.To be more generous, if you don’t have a legal team on your editorial staff in your section, just don’t mention the politics of billionaires.
Musk et al the 1%ers have lawyers on retainer whose only job is to litigate every mention of their name.
You can’t sue against truth though
you absolutely can. one might even say that’s the purpose of suing - to establish what is provably true
That’s the only sentence acknowledging the MANY mechanical failures, too.
The range was fine for a mall crawler. If it sold enough for Tesla to build that extended battery, it would have had by far the most towing range for those who need it.
I don’t think initial quality and range were a real problem. T was the delay, the looks, the price over what was announced. But definitely its fate was sealed by musks disastrous foray into politics
Eh. Even if Musk still had his Iron Man in real life image the cyber truck would still be a complete failure.
Saying it’s a shitty car and a failure by only looking at it as a car seems like good journalism. This isn’t a good product that failed because people don’t like Musk anymore.
