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.

    Lol function first.

    Most f150s are suburban grocery getters. They just needed to release a mall crawler and keep Elon out of politics

      I think the F-150 has some really cool features for a serious work truck. The front with the low entry means you can put relatively heavy tools there. The power outlets add a ton of functionality. The only thing it really doesn’t have IMHO is the ability to do serious towing… But that’s a problem with all electric vehicles.

      Now I’m not a serious pickup guy, but from what I’ve seen, the F-150 looks much more built for work than any other EV on the market (and most pickups).

      Maybe function first helps with cosplaying as rural. People get very up in arms about frame type. The twice yearly sedanfull of potting soil is incredibly serious.
