Bound to happen when you drive a Pontiac Aztek, KC.

The car brand that became synonymous with failure sold 116,000 cars.

So far, Cybertruck has sold about 46,000 trucks.

Could this be the new Edsel?

Factory wrap is no longer an option as it damages the stainless steel. Futurism quotes a study that independent automotive blog FuelArc suggests that fire fatalities are 17 times more likely in a Cybertruck than in the infamous Ford Pinto

I saw 3 of them in about 10 minutes today. I followed one of them. I also saw another one parked with 2 surfboards hanging out of the back. It was kind of cool, sort of a 21st century woody wagon.

I was just listening to the latest Spike's Car Radio while driving down from Monterey this afternoon and they were saying that the Cybertruck is a total, complete sales failure and that Tesla will not take them for a trade-in as they will all of the other models. Just an abject failure.

I guess if you want one, the opportunity to buy used should be stellar. Not my cup of tea, and the body panels peeling off is shocking. But the hatred for Musk makes the owner the object of irrational hatred to the current owners. Not for me. Be funny to put some Pontiac Aztek badges on it.

I pulled up beside one in my Tundra and it didn't look much bigger than it.

Perhaps your Tundra is a big one.

They look good next to Sanford & Sons' truck too ...

But I'd still drive it

Umm. Tesla may be a bit more dodgy than we had originally thought.

Look at the abysmal inner door panel fit in a X next time you ride in one, the plastic panels on the back of the seats… like a school bus. The newer Y is nice but still doesn’t hold a candle to a BYD.

You know, I kind of pegged KC as an Aztek kind of guy. They kind of guy who would convert an Aztek to battery power. With a wing on the back.

That might help a Cybertruck too .... can't hurt
