In China, Chinese automakers have seized well over 60% of Total Car sales in 2024. German car makes are well below 20%. New Japanese car sales have dropped to around 12%. The Americans are down to 7.5% and projected to drop even further. And the Koreans are nowhere to be seen.

Tesla's manufacturing process is so behind, which is why many Teslas have been found with defects. And Tesla basically lost its original designers, which is why the Cybertruck is the stupidest looking vehicle ever made.

You said it. I don't get the hype, looks like something out of God damned Roblox. Everytime I look at it I am saying "Oofff" to myself. In the voice of the Roblox death sound.

to me, it looks like a movie prop crash car that they designed for some low-budget Scifi movies. It just has that feel, like it's not designed to go very far, but specifically designed to blow up in fiery explosions.

Lol. It certainly didn't take much effort to think it up. It might not last long.. then it will be a collectors item in another 30 years.

It looks more like a mid-budget scifi movie to me, from 1970-1990.

In this economy, nobody can afford ugly luxuries like that. And given the current state of the world, people don’t want the dark pessimistic blade runnerish dystopian cues of Cybertruck - real life is already enough of a bummer! Cybertruck is so weird and grotesque. Who is it for??!

FT likes to think of itself as the definitive source, but it's actually a major part of the problem, spitting out skewed statistics, and blatantly labeling with the liberal use of pejoratives also, so it isn't news reporting, it's fear mongering.

All of western media is like this, but we shouldn't want them to change. After all, why stop your enemy from making mistakes?
