Ford killed the F-150 Lightning because nobody wanted it. Tesla's Cybertruck is selling even worse—but Elon Musk refuses to let it die. In this documentary, we uncover the hidden truth behind the spectacular collapse of the Tesla Cybertruck, how a promised $39,900 revolution turned into a depreciating six-figure nightmare, and how Musk is quietly using his own private rocket company to buy up unsold inventory just to keep the numbers from cratering.

Yep. And yet they only sold ~25k of them, with sales dropping off incredibly quickly toward the end. Even the hybrid sold ~85k units. I would never buy one but I know 2 people who have them, and I have done a couple of road trips in it. It is really really nice. The infotainment is the best I've seen in any modern vehicle. It still has physical buttons!
