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).
