Every time I see one of those things I want to laugh. Then I wonder what kind of idiot would buy one.

It's even worse when you consider the number of buyers in the US car market.

Total number of cars sold in the US:
1958 5.5 Million
2024 15.8 Million

In 1958 the Esdel competed in a much smaller pool.

Well, I would think that it's not a negative to people who are proud fascists.
It seems we're getting more and more of those

United States ended 1958 with a population of 174,153,000 people, which represents an increase of 2,975,000 people compared to 1957.

So still 2025 market in USA about twice that of 1958 by population, yet in 2nd year Tesla sells about 1/2 of Ford's Edsel in its 2nd year.

The thing is, a bunch were sold. So are people just not driving them, or did they get sold to collectors who ... also never drive them? ]]>https://forum.fedi.dk/post/https://djsumdog.com/objects/6dfa0558-253c-4aea-b5b6-1ec0654d225bhttps://forum.fedi.dk/post/https://djsumdog.com/objects/6dfa0558-253c-4aea-b5b6-1ec0654d225bSat, 25 Jul 2026 20:45:41 GMT<![CDATA[Reply to Cybertruck confirmed as the biggest automotive flop in history. on Sat, 25 Jul 2026 20:39:53 GMT]]>@Kmachel @aburtch
United States ended 1955 with a population of 165,058,000 people, which represents an increase of 3,177,000 people compared to 1954.

United States in 2025. Total population: 347,275,819.

A ratio of 1 : 2.1

The Cybertruck is a poorer design than the Edsel and illegal in the UK and EU due to hazards to pedestrians and cyclists.

EDIT:
Sorry, I thought Edsel was 1955, it was 1958.

Arguably the Edsel could never compete with the cyber truck on appearance.

The cyber truck maximize his ugly
