Wheel Disaster
It’s Looking Like the Cybertruck Is the Biggest Flop in Automotive History
One for the history books.

The Cybertruck is a flop.

For all of Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s grandiose claims that the pickup would be an “apocalypse-proof” tank capable of winning its driver style points wherever they go, it’s instead earned a reputation for being incredibly unreliable and just about the opposite of “easy on the eyes” — probably because you can imagine the numerous sharp edges that define its low-poly design poking you in them as soon as you see it.

Most unforgivable in the capitalist society Musk champions, it hasn’t sold well. He once estimated that Tesla would sell up to 500,000 Cybertrucks annually, but it hasn’t even come close to that number in the nearly three years since it first started shipping, and at this point it probably won’t in its entire lifetime.

So, yes. It’s a flop. But could it also be the greatest flop in American automotive history?

A new piece from Bloomberg makes the case, comparing the Tesla vehicle to the misfortunes of Ford’s Edsel, which was first introduced in 1957 and discontinued just two years later. After spending years building up hype for the car, Ford predicted selling 200,000 units in its first year, but ended up selling less than a third of that.

That’s comparable to expectations versus reality of the Cybertruck. In fact, the Cybertruck is actually doing worse in key ways. Tesla’s annual sales target was 250,000 units, but it didn’t even crack 40,000 sales in its first year.

And like the Cybertruck, the Edsel’s unusual design was also widely mocked.

The Edsel is generally cited as the American automotive industry’s biggest disaster. But the projected annual sales target compared to actual sales is actually worse for the Cybertruck. It may be time to put a new car on this ignominious throne.

But will Tesla discontinue the Cybertruck the same way Ford dropped the Edsel? Maybe not. The Cybertruck is a point of pride for Musk and has become synonymous with his vision. Garrett Nelson, an equity analyst at CFRA Research, thinks it’s more likely the truck will “fade away.”

Now shortages for PCBs, the base part of most electronics, will have a shortage that extends into the new decade.

The developments come amid surging demand for data center processors driven by AI workloads, potentially signaling renewed confidence in Intel’s manufacturing and foundry ambitions.

Älypuhelinmarkkinat ovat ajautuneet jyrkkään laskuun muistipiirien ja tallennusmuistien kallistumisen vuoksi. Tutkimusyhtiö Omdian mukaan maailmanlaajuiset älypuhelintoimitukset supistuivat heinä–syyskuussa peräti 20 prosenttia vuodentakaisesta. Erityisen kovaa hintapaine iskee edullisiin puhelimiin, joiden valmistuksessa katteet ovat jo ennestään pieniä.

Tietokoneiden myyntikanaviin toimitetut määrät romahtivat kolmannella vuosineljänneksellä 22,4 prosenttia. Gartnerin mukaan syynä on ennen kaikkea muistien ja tallennuskomponenttien kallistuminen, joka on nostanut PC-koneiden hintoja. Apple selvisi markkinamyllerryksestä selvästi kilpailijoitaan paremmin.

Maailmanlaajuiset PC-toimitukset jäivät heinä–syyskuussa 55,4 miljoonaan koneeseen. Määrä on pienin sitten vuoden 2023 ensimmäisen neljänneksen. Vuotta aiemmin tietokoneita toimitettiin 71,3 miljoonaa.
