About 100 Tesla Cybertrucks were spotted in Farmington Hills near Detroit, Michigan.
This is becoming a bit of a recurring theme, with semi-abandoned parking lots packed with Teslas.
Some people are saying that’s because the EVs aren’t flying off the shelves anymore.
But the truth is a bit more nuanced than that.

This is the third time in the space of a month that Tesla made headlines for a situation like this.
A life weeks ago, somebody noticed a gaggle of Cybertrucks abandoned in a parking lot near Detroit.
Then, an old story about a similar situation in Missouri went viral again.
Probably because the Google algorithm did its job.
But jokes aside, the same thing happened again, and once again it happened in Michigan.
A few days ago, 100 Tesla Cybertrucks were spotted in a parking lot in Farmington Hills, a northwestern suburb of Detroit.
People are saying that’s because Teslas aren’t selling anymore, but that’s not entirely accurate.
It is true that Tesla is no longer dominating the electric vehicle market like it used to, having lost market share to automakers from China like BYD and Xiaomi.
But it’s also true that the best-selling EVs in the US are still the Tesla Model Y and Tesla Model 3.
As for the Cybertruck, the very thing that made it successful might be the reason why it’s not doing so well now: its styling.
The Tesla CEO’s polarizing political involvement certainly hasn’t helped, but the reality is that Cybertrucks are probably simply too out there to be considered a ‘normal’ vehicle.
The incredible buzz around it when it first came out faded away quite rapidly, and now people may have simply gotten over it.
