Elon Musk’s Tesla Cybertruck is turning into one of the biggest disasters in car history. Sales have crashed so hard they’re missing targets by 84%, and it’s clear this overpriced electric pickup is a flop. The Cybertruck was supposed to sell 250,000 a year, but in 2024, Tesla barely moved 34,000 units. Now, unsold trucks are piling up on lots, and used models are selling for half price.
The Cybertruck’s problems start with its messy design. The stainless steel body panels keep falling off, forcing a major recall. Build quality is so bad that even loyal Tesla fans are walking away. At over $80,000, the truck is too expensive for most buyers, especially when cheaper, better-made electric pickups from Ford and Chevrolet are available.
Elon Musk’s leadership isn’t helping. While he’s busy cutting federal jobs in Trump’s administration, his own company is falling apart. Protesters are vandalizing Tesla stores and charging stations, angry over Musk’s political moves. Instead of focusing on making reliable cars, Musk pushed a sci-fi vanity project that real truck buyers don’t want.
Conservatives know the market doesn’t lie. The Cybertruck’s failure shows what happens when companies chase woke trends instead of listening to customers. Taxpayer dollars wasted on electric vehicle subsidies would be better spent supporting American energy independence. The Cybertruck’s collapse proves that true innovation comes from freedom, not government mandates.
The Cybertruck can’t even do basic truck jobs. Its weird shape makes it hard to haul gear, and the “armor glass” famously broke during a demo. Meanwhile, Ford’s F-150 remains America’s favorite truck because it works. Musk’s obsession with being different backfired, leaving the Cybertruck as a symbol of elitist excess.
Tesla’s overall sales are tanking too, down 13% this year. In Europe, sales crashed 49%, and Chinese rivals like BYD are eating their lunch. The Cybertruck’s failure is dragging down the whole company. Even with federal tax credits, nobody wants this truck.
The Cybertruck is a warning. When companies put politics over practicality, disaster follows. Real Americans want trucks that work, not stainless steel ego trips. The free market has spoken—loud and clear.
