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.
Last time I checked, if you had bought an Edsel new, its value would have kept up with inflation. Some of the higher end trims do a little better than inflation. Which isn’t a particularly good investment either way, especially one that needs to be maintained with more money and effort. Tossing it in t-bonds would do just as well or better with almost zero effort.
An Edsel is a hell of an automobile compared to that non-sense.
