Tesla can't find buyers for the current backlog of nearly 2,400, or $200 million worth of Cybertrucks, despite claiming over a million orders were received.

    They won’t find a single one to film.

    On the global scale the Cybertruck is an incredibly niche American thing.

    It’s only ever sold 40 something thousand units since 2023. That’s ridiculously low.

    For comparison, Toyota sells some 11 million vehicles a year globally. And just in the United States, Porsche yearly sells some 70k units. That 40k Cybertrucks is from three fiscal years

        Sure slapping a few pizza boxes together and painting it silver would make a convincing enough replica, but why would anyone bother?

            No no. Why would anyone bother to put one in their movies in 20 years?

            That’s like saying they’d have people wearing Apple Vision Pro’s in 20 years. Why? Wasn’t a big product. Just an overhyped one which utterly failed.

            Perhaps as a meme to how shit it is but it’s definitely not “iconic to the era”.
