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 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.
Even amateur designers can start from the cyber truck design and make something a lot better with a few tweaks. The current design is just a great visualization of what happens when the boss purposefully ignores any suggestion and criticism from the employees. I mean, this not only happens with cars. There are many projects going that way. This is just a very visual high level example.
He didn’t just ignore them. He fired anyone who spoke up about it.
That’s how you get the best ideas. /S
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!
Yeah when I think of a car that’s actually cyberpunk it’s some civic with mods.
Is that a countach with led strips?
Basically. It’s a special effect done with reflective tape, I think? It’s from the 80’s TV show called “Automan.”
Ah, reflective tape makes sense. Everything had to look like Tron for a while.
I’d say it looks more like a futuristic barn
