a vehicle that was supposed to be the culmination of Elon Musk's genius.

I'd argue that it is the culmination of Elon Musk's genius.

I didn't gasp. I cheered.

Tesla has managed to sell just 7,100 Cybertrucks in the US, according to registration data from S&P Global Mobility cited by the Wall Street Journal. It's an astounding and rapid plummet, when in the fourth quarter of 2024, Tesla sold close to double that amount, with roughly 13,000 Cybertrucks.

Dropping by half isn't really a level I'd gasp at. From that click bait title I expected 80-90%

Even funnier is when you look up how long a set of tires lasts on a cybertruck.

Between them being pieces of shit, the stigma associated with them, and Elon alienating the target demographic, I'm surprised any are getting sold at all.

I'll save you a click: 7,100 Cybertrucks sold in the US in the first quarter of 2025. Another 10,000 trucks remain unsold. Last year Tesla sold fewer than 40,000 of them. This is way below the 500,000 per year Musk predicted.

Only good for the batteries. Those will be reclaimed at some point.

But did they really gasp?

Huh. This is what the consequences of my actions taste like.

That's what Kaptain Ketamine should be saying, but won't.

The Pontiac Aztec was a flop vehicle. However comparing historical sales numbers side by side with present day Cybertruck sales, it looks like Aztec sold more for the same amount of time.

Aztec lifetime sales:

In the entire first quarter of 2025, Tesla has managed to sell just 7,100 Cybertrucks

That is VERY impressive!!
They actually managed to sell just over 5% of their 125000 target for 1 quarter.
Take THAT haters. Musk is a genius. 🤣🤣🤣
