Cybertruck Sales Are So Bad That We Gasped

futurism.com Unknown 2025-09-22 08:18:51

There's little left for us to say that can further embarrass the Tesla Cybertruck, a vehicle that was supposed to be the culmination of Elon Musk's genius. And maybe this is what Musk's genius looks like.

But somehow, its already dire sales are no

We've finally gotten a glimpse at one of Tesla's Robotaxis in action. But don't expect your socks to be blown off. As seen in a bystander's footage taken in Austin, Texas, that Elon Musk has proudly reshared, it's literally just a black Model Y with the word "Robotaxi" scrawled on the side in a painfully outdated graffiti font. The future is truly upon us. "Beautifully simple design," Musk tweeted, presumably through a pained grimace. BREAKING: First ever Tesla Model Y robotaxi with no-one in

If an application looks suspicious, it can be sent to the city’s investigations department—which could lead to a rejection, a request to correct paperwork errors, or a recommendation that the candidate receive less money. Investigations can also happen later, once benefits have been dispersed; the outcome may force recipients to pay back funds, and even push some
