Did any other company fall so thoroughly on their face with a useless, ugly, low quality, dangerous product to the point of being an international laughing stock?
The Ford Pinto is infamous for bursting into flames when rear-ended.
The DeLorean would be remembered as a Detroit executives coke-fueled fever nightmare if one didn't end up being the best movie prop of all time. Even their reputation for poor reliability makes it into the movie.
Last car this hated was the Edsel lolol, literally the historic failure that was still referenced, up until the cyberstuck took over the crown for worst piece of shit ever.

Do they want to sell even fewer?

A lot of us can’t afford an AI trash bin that can drive itself out to the curb!

Did any other company lower the prices for their cars in the same period of time?

In the automotive world...

So ... we've got three cars since the '50s.
Somehow that's not what I think the person I was responding to meant by it.

Yes, 90% of companies do that. Tesla is being discussed more just because Musk-this/Musk-that celebrity shit

And just like the Edsel there were die hard fanatics who claimed it was a "great car" with "the most advanced technology".

Guys I don't think I can afford a cybertruck. I guess I will keep driving my car that isn't hated by everyone.

I got an EV for 23k and it's probably five times more capable and 10 times cooler than this $75,000 abomination go figure.
