If you want to restrict the discussion to just the Cybertruck, it's more like the Edsel - an embarrassing failure from a dominant manufacturer. The Delorean similarities are largely skin-deep.

Also probably 99% of people here are familiar with Deloreans and stainless steel.



In what world is Tesla a dominant manufacturer? The company's market share peaked at 4.31% in 2023. That's behind GM, Toyota, Ford, Hyundai, Stellantis (Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep), Honda, and Nissan-Mitsubishi. Only VW, Subaru, and BMW had a smaller market share.


They sure as hell dominated EV sales for quite a few years. Their valuation is absolutely dominant compared to any of those brands.

Regardless, they're closer to Edsel-era Ford than DMC.
