Tesla can't find buyers for the current backlog of nearly 2,400, or $200 million worth of Cybertrucks, despite claiming over a million orders were received.
Pretty sure there’s probably a Killswitch built in so that it won’t run past a certain date without giving Tesla more money, so once the company tanks they’ll all be dead in the water.
On the global scale the Cybertruck is an incredibly niche American thing.
It’s only ever sold 40 something thousand units since 2023. That’s ridiculously low.
For comparison, Toyota sells some 11 million vehicles a year globally. And just in the United States, Porsche yearly sells some 70k units. That 40k Cybertrucks is from three fiscal years
I wonder if the cybertruck will be the Delorian of the future.
Well no, it won’t because people actually like the Delorian due to it being redeemed by one of the greatest time travel movies ever made.
We can make it happen with the Cyber truck!
BACK TO THE FÜHRER starring Kid Rock as Marty and Musk as the Doc and the truck doesn’t make it.
Here me out. What if they remaster back to the future and the plutonium guys at the beginning drive a cybertruck instead of the white truck?
Looper, right? /s
Probably not, the Delorean was pretty cool even when it was new, I believe.
Also, a Cybertruck is massively complex, so keeping an old one running would be difficult.

Like an iconic vehicle they make movies about?
A colossal failure that’s only remembered as a joke.
Yes, let the hate flow through you, young Padawan.

Well, it is iconic and will be used as a metaphor years from now when people start making movies of this era.
They won’t find a single one to film.

Yeah but it is famous loke the pinto, anf easy to recognize loke the delorean, and easy to make a prop version of.
The fuck is a ‘loke’?
Like. I and o are next to each other on the keyboard
They can make replicas
Sure slapping a few pizza boxes together and painting it silver would make a convincing enough replica, but why would anyone bother?
To make a movie.
No no. Why would anyone bother to put one in their movies in 20 years?
That’s like saying they’d have people wearing Apple Vision Pro’s in 20 years. Why? Wasn’t a big product. Just an overhyped one which utterly failed.
Perhaps as a meme to how shit it is but it’s definitely not “iconic to the era”.
Yeah, it is. Just not in the way elmo wanted.

More probably the Edsel or Yugo, but with the quality of a Lada.
Well, the production of the cybertruck certianly smashed the delorean.
