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.

    Early reviews raised red flags over software glitches, poor fit and finish, and disappointing range for a vehicle of its size.

    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
