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.
I wonder, when they hit 88 Mph, does one transport back in time to apartheid South Africa?
If they go faster than 60 the wheels fall off
It’s a fair question. The whole 88 mph thing from back to the future was a joke because no one thought a delorian could go that fast.
Pretty sure the joke was 88 is a common Nazi code. Eight letter in the alphabet is alphabet is ‘h’ - it’s “HH” which stands for the obvious.
14 is another one. When MyPillow had a sale for $14.88, there was a reason for it…
I doubt the BttF writers were making a Hitler reference
But I figured the OP in the comment chain was.
I think OP was making a BttF reference.
Yup. It was only a Bttf reference. Nothing sinister here. Just goofing on Cybertruck b/c well, they just deserve all the ridicule. No codetalk here. I promise.
… By quoting the movie Back to the Future?
“We’re gonna see some serious shit. …Wait, this is a bit too serious.”
