The truck that was supposed to revolutionize everything is flopping fast.
The hype is dead. The Tesla Cybertruck, once billed as the future of electric vehicles, is now looking like a commercial bust.
In the second quarter of 2025, Tesla sold just 4,306 Cybertrucks, down a staggering 50.8% from the 8,755 units it delivered during the same period last year, according to new data from Kelley Blue Book. This plunge is a signal that America’s most hyped truck may already be out of gas.
That wasn’t the man who created the Segway though. The inventor & original owner is Dean Kamen. The company was sold to Jimi Heselden in 2009, and it’s Heselden who rode one off a cliff a year later.
Yes, that’s why I said the owner of the company and not the inventor. =)
