        The DeLorean was 95% of the way to a brilliant car. The last 5% killed it with a combination of bad market timing and a few questionable parts selections. Most of those issues had been worked out after the first 3000 units, but the company’s reputation was in the shitter by then.

        The FBI sting was a complete hoax.

        There is no saving the Cybertruck. It’s poorly built, ugly, and comes from a company run by a narcissist.

        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
