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.
Interesting, I didn’t realize that so many popular EVs in the US just look like normal cars.
The US is only 5% of worldwide EV sales, and things are very different outside the USA! Out of the top 20 EVs worldwide last year, only three are sold in the USA - the Tesla Model 3 and Y, and the VW ID.4.
There’s big differences in price, too. The BYD Seagull (#5 most popular) is $8k in China or AU$24k (US$17k) including tax in Australia.
