    So damn wish for that company to collapse if it even brings us 1% closer to the US allowing God damned Chinese EVs.

    And it’s an interesting article but I wish they would’ve compared Cybertruck to other past, historic car flops to put it into perspective. I have no idea if it’s “historic” in the sense that it surpasses other failures or if it’s just something that happened in history.

        True, I could see that. I think they cut the tax credits for EVs, right? I wonder if that includes hybrids.

        I could see them using hybrids as the rationale for cutting down on EVs, saying pure EVs aren’t as efficient or something.

    A March recall—in which Cybertruck panels were literally falling off due to faulty glue—betrayed the number: 46,096 sold in the 14 months since deliveries began. That’s less than 3,300 per month.

    They didn’t just use glue to attach automotive panels. They used faulty glue.
