The curious case of the unloved Tesla Cybertrucks

Facing slow sales, Elon Musk is making his other companies purchase the unsold inventory.

Dreadful design + Musk. Seems like a pretty simple explanation to me. Not to mention, what about the guy that got into a car crash and basically got cremated in this steel trap.

I'd say, a major factor in the sales failure is the litany of broken promises:
- Lower towing ability
- Lower carrying capacity
- Lower range
- Higher price

Add to that, the litany of woes for owners:
- Rusting
- Failing adhesives
- Target for vandalism

Lucky Lopez, a YouTuber, created a video explaining all these and then some more.

The sales are way worse than they look. Nearly 40% of the sales were to Tesla itself, SpaceX and XAI, with a bunch more at huge discounts to their employees.

Tesla stopped selling the rear while drive version of the Cybertruck weeks ago. It is no longer an option. I don't know how we are supposed to trust this article when it can't even get extremely well-known obvious facts straight....

Not just the strange design: it was driven by Musk's childish desire rather than a real market need (it can't even be sold in most of the world because it doesn't satisfy safety requirements), and as is his way he massively over-promised and under-delivered. Its abject failure is entirely down to him, something that in any normal company would have resulted in him being ejected.
