Indeed, “empirical” data doesn’t show sustained demand for the Cybertruck, but a sustained plunge down the toilet: Tesla sold just 5,385 Cybertrucks in the third quarter of 2025, which is a staggering 63 percent drop from the same period last year.

Let’s not forget buyers remorse. I have an extended family member who is an avowed Tesla fanboy and bought a Cybertruck when they first became available. He got rid of it after a year or so because of all the negative comments he was getting. He & his wife have two young kids, and from what I heard it sounds like they were all getting harassed at times…

He now drives a Rivian instead.

The section accuses “left-leaning outlets” like CBS News of unfairly emphasizing how the truck’s stainless steel exteriors quickly began to rust after being delivered to their owners

Ah yes anarchist/socialist darling CBS News.

I honestly find it hilarious that it took a rich idiot trying and failing to make a pickup truck out of uncoated stainless steel with the design language that a 4-year old could outdo to understand that it’s stainless - as in, stains not as much - not stainless - as in, impervious to stains.
