    Good. I sincerely hope Tesla disappears completely.

    Federal vehicle registration data compiled through May 2026 reveals that just 7,133 units have hit American roads this year.

    Industry experts reveal that SpaceX corporate fleet purchases are artificially padding these dismal delivery metrics to mask a severe, ongoing drop in organic consumer demand.

      And they’re all in Los Angeles County for some reason.

      Honestly, you don’t need big data for this. All you need to do is look at the resale values of used ones. And those resale values are plummeting.

    It’s too big and Musk is toxic, but I can’t hate them even half as much as everyone online wants me to. I wish they were the size of my S10. That would be so fun. Still wouldn’t buy though. It’s a sign of a company that’s been valued several orders of magnitude above what logic would suggest that they were able to put them into production. You think the bean counters and poindexters at GM or Ford would’ve ever okayed a Cybertruck? Only with several hundred billion dollars of unearned “investment” can a company get away with putting that thing into production.

    It was also supposed to be cheap. The base model was supposed to be around 39kUSD.

    It would almost be worth a truck with that many cut-corners for cheap, but it’s more expensive than more capable vehicles.
