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 read used EVs are selling well. Not so much current new models. People are probably holding on to their money.
There are two Tesla dealerships within 15 minutes of my house. Both lots are filled with cyber trucks. Nearby, there’s a mostly-empty office complex that has another 25+ cyber trucks in the parking lot, clearly being used for overflow. Crazy.
“Wait a minute, Doc: are you telling me you built a time machine - out of a Cybertruck?!”
“The way I see it, if you’re gonna build a time machine into a car why not make it look ugly as fuck?”
I will forever point and laugh like Nelson at the morons who bought these Swastikar piles of shit.
What, an ugly ass vehicle that looks like it came from an early 90’s video game is a flop? Whodathunkit?
Busted ass truck is busted.
Sadly, its numbers are comparable to Hyundai’s Ioniq 6, which might be the best EV on the market right now. Seems a lot of EVs are tanking in sales now.
The stupid thing is, it was so easy to see what needed to be done. Tesla needed to release a pickup that appealed to Red State America. Functional first, but high end and ultra manly. Kind of like the F-150 lightning but cool.
Tesla needed to appeal to traditional pickup owners. Then Musk’s run to the right would have actually fallen in line with that strategy. But the Cybertruck is the exact opposite of that. There are probably more techies who own cyber trucks than there are pickup owners, and that’s pathetic. That’s a failure to understand your target demographic. This really comes down to musks insane hubris.
Lol function first.
Most f150s are suburban grocery getters. They just needed to release a mall crawler and keep Elon out of politics
I think the F-150 has some really cool features for a serious work truck. The front with the low entry means you can put relatively heavy tools there. The power outlets add a ton of functionality. The only thing it really doesn’t have IMHO is the ability to do serious towing… But that’s a problem with all electric vehicles.
Now I’m not a serious pickup guy, but from what I’ve seen, the F-150 looks much more built for work than any other EV on the market (and most pickups).
The F-150 is very modular. You basically build whatever on the back for whatever job you need done. You can’t do that with the Cybertruck because it’s not built like that with a frame.
Maybe function first helps with cosplaying as rural. People get very up in arms about frame type. The twice yearly sedanfull of potting soil is incredibly serious.
This is the Zune of cars man. What an eyesore. Shows what Elon can make when he tries it on his own.
Excuse me but I loved my Zune.
The zunehd was a great media player. Microsoft really botched the launch and just like phones gave up when it didn’t immediately sell iPod numbers.
I point them out to my partner when we see one and we both laugh. It’s the ugliest piece of shit on the road.
Yesterday, we were returning from a road trip and saw a semi hauling three of them. It was completely full. Other semis on the trip had like eight cars. How inefficient and riduclous they looked. We laughed at that, too.
I’m so sad that the nazi asshole’s stupid truck is a failure. /s No I’m not. I love it.
Best clown car at a circus tho. Tho can’t fit that many in it
Jeez, Tesla could have been such an interesting part of america’s success story (now China’s) if they just had leadership that was worth half a shit.
Every time I see one I burst out laughing, they look so fucking stupid!
Cars in early PS1 games be like:
The cybertrucks been a bust since the metal ball broke the window.
me driving my shitbox around and I see a cybertruck
