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.
It doesn’t look like it came out of Cyberpunk, literally every vehicle in that game looks way cooler and more advanced. The Cybertruck looks like it came from a “futuristic” wireframe video game from 1985. It’s obviously trying to play off DeLorean vibes, it’s made as nostalgia for a 40-year old vision of a future that never came. It’s like if someone made a 50s rocket-punk styled car in 1990, it’s just a botched anachronistic mess, more past than future.
Its from the movie Freejack, trashy sci fi action flick from 1992, Mick Jagger drives something like it
that looks more like an APC.
IIRC it’s a real amphibious APC used by the Royal Marines painted red.
From a PS1 game
It looks like it came from the launch version of Cyberpunk running on a PS4.
