>>The gamble with Cybertruck failed.

Has it? I really don't know but I see these every day in my major city and there was a closed mall parking lot filled with cybertrucks the local dealer used to park there which were quickly turned over.

Yes. It's a flop:

A flop is not a truck that was the best selling in the world two years ago and then 3/4 as many as Ford's EV truck and more than everyone else (according to your link).

And since when is HN just like Reddit when one is downvoted for asking a question for clarity?

		OK, not a flop. An failure that didn't live up to the hype that generated the initial sales volume in pre-orders. The idea of the Cybertruck sold well — at a time before Musk's Roman salutes, shadowing Trump, running DOGE, and further enshittifying what remains of Twitter. The actual Cybertruck, once the pre-orders ran out... did not. Nearly half of all Cybertrucks sold (about 75% of those sold in 2024) were pre-orders. That's to say, people stopped buying once they saw the Cybertruck for what it actually was (ditto for Elon).
