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.

      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…
