Ispot him from across the parking lot at the indian Meadow Service Plaza in West Unity, Ohio. In the oppressive heat, his Tesla Cybertruck blends into the scenery, its shiny wrap shimmering in the sun like an oil slick. Clad in a bright-yellow T-shirt reading "DUCATI," he appears to be genuflecting to his vehicle, as if pledging it fealty. When I look again, I realize he is doing squats in front of the Cybertruck's windshield camera.

In 2023, Tesla CEO Elon Musk promised that his EV maker's upcoming Cybertruck would sell like hotcakes, delivering between 250,000 and 500,000 units per year once the company hit its stride. But over two years later, Tesla hasn't even gotten close, in yet another instance of Musk vastly overpromising while severely underdelivering. In reality, the carmaker's pickup truck has flopped hard, not even selling 20,000 units this year.

The Tesla Cybertruck has lost the top spot on the list of best-selling electric pickup trucks in the United States.
