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.

    Except it does still look cool. It’s just that the drivetrain sucked. If I even got one, I’d replace it with an EV drivetrain. There’s pretty good options now. You don’t even have to pull parts from a totaled Tesla anymore.

    John DeLorean also got acquitted on the drug trafficking charges when it was found he was entrapped.
