lmfao even!
I wonder if the cybertruck will be the Delorian of the future.
Well, the production of the cybertruck certianly smashed the delorean.
Like an iconic vehicle they make movies about?
A colossal failure that's only remembered as a joke.
Yes, let the hate flow through you, young Padawan.

Well, it is iconic and will be used as a metaphor years from now when people start making movies of this era.
They won't find a single one to film.
On the global scale the Cybertruck is an incredibly niche American thing.
It's only ever sold 40 something thousand units since 2023. That's ridiculously low.
For comparison, Toyota sells some 11 million vehicles a year globally. And just in the United States, Porsche yearly sells some 70k units. That 40k Cybertrucks is from three fiscal years
Yeah but it is famous loke the pinto, anf easy to recognize loke the delorean, and easy to make a prop version of.

Probably not, the Delorean was pretty cool even when it was new, I believe.
Also, a Cybertruck is massively complex, so keeping an old one running would be difficult.
Pretty sure there's probably a Killswitch built in so that it won't run past a certain date without giving Tesla more money, so once the company tanks they'll all be dead in the water.
Well no, it won't because people actually like the Delorian due to it being redeemed by one of the greatest time travel movies ever made.
We can make it happen with the Cyber truck!
BACK TO THE FÜHRER starring Kid Rock as Marty and Musk as the Doc and the truck doesn't make it.
Here me out. What if they remaster back to the future and the plutonium guys at the beginning drive a cybertruck instead of the white truck?
Was the delorian hated? Why?
it wasn't a good car, It just looked unique.
You misspelled Mandalorian
Mostly because it had a garbage engine. The one they used in the movies was modified with a much better engine.
The fact that the real Delorean couldn't do 88 miles per hour was part of the joke.
Ah okay.
I have no idea about cars or engines
Yeah, the reason why they chose 55 mph in the movie is that was the max speed of the car (if i remember right)
Also the way the doors opened were pretty inconvenient
It was 88 mph, which is a speed that the original engine for the DeLorean was not capable of.
The flux capacitor is activated when it reaches 88mph. They had to add a digital speedometer because the Delorian's only went to 85.
That was typical of cars made (for US market) in the early to mid 80s... Can't remember for sure if it was part of the whole national 55mph speed limit, but I'd bet it was.
