According to automotive experts, Tesla Cybertruck is the biggest flop in automotive history.

[surfered]

Sales of the recall-plagued vehicle have fallen below the 250K in annual sales Musk predicted and it has become the focal point of global protests. It's right up there with the Edsel (for those of us old enough to remember).

This comes after Musk's $20 million losing bet on the pro-Trump candidate for the Wisconsin Supreme Court and Tesla reported the biggest sales drop ever, falling 13% in the first quarter while its No 1 rival grew revenue by 60% for the same period.. Now there are rumors the White House may be giving Musk the boot.

1. Edsel was better looking than Musk's tank.

4. Besides it looks, what other things were wrong with it?

11. Aaahhh...the care with the famous "Toilet Seat" grill! /NT

13. It does look better.

I remember the guy who owned the gas station; where my parents always got gas, would tease my Dad that Ford stood for "found on Russian dump. " One of my Dad's water delivery trucks was a Ford, so that's why. In cars my dad always preferred Buicks.

2. 250K? They recalled all 40K of them according to the news reports.

7. That's what the story in the link says.

3. And the Edsel was actually a good car.

12. The Edsel failed because it got clobbered by an economic recession

Martha Stewart loves her Edsel, and in fact she ownes Edsel Fords's Maine estate.



Jay Leno likes it, too!

5. Musk was personally involved in the design. Here's footage...

6. the Pontiac Aztek says "hold my beer"

A giant flop, considered one of the greatest flops in history.

16. It does have a nice place in television history, though.

20. I had its corporate twin: Buick Rendezvous. Vary comfortable on long trips, could pack a lot in there

for traveling, camping, etc.

Too bad they stopped making them.

[BannonsLiver]

22. Yep. Still simping.

[WarGamer]

23. What does that mean? Can you clarify?

[surfered]

8. Any thoughts on the Delorean?

[randr]

9. Wish I had bought one when they were practically giving them away

[BlueKota]

15. Josh Gates and Christopher Lloyd

hunted down one and had it customized to look like the one in Back to The Future. They donated it to Michael J Fox to auction off for Parkinson's research.

10. And the most dangerous, surpassing the Corvair.

FuelArc Has Rated The Tesla Cybertrucks As Over 15x More Likely To Kill Their Passengers.

18. I had forgotten that one. My father almost bought a Corvair in 1964/65. His mechanic talked him out of it.

Thank goodness. He bought a Plymouth Valiant instead with 70,000 mil warranty included. It made it 125,000 mi.

[chouchou]

14. I remember the Edsel and I rather liked it. The Tesla Cybertruck looks like a dumpster with nice wheels.

[Tommy Carcetti]

17. The Cybertruck looks like...

...what filmmakers in 1982 imagined as the "car of the future" in movies that were set in 2013.

[hatrack]

19. Let's hear it for the TEDsel!!!

[Norrrm]

21. The Edsel became a collectible. Regular Fords were phonied up to become an Edsel.
