Edsel’s vertical ambition — a front-end icon of 1950s American automotive optimism, now resting quietly on Swedish soil. Chrome dreams faded but not forgotten.

A hard look at sales figures shows the #cybertruck to be a bigger flop than the #Edsel, a name synonymous with failure. It looks like a dumpster; it's had eight recalls in a year; and its sales are 84% lower than predicted. No genius, Musk is just a Nazi.

Elon’s Edsel: Tesla Cybertruck Is The Auto Industry’s Biggest Flop In Decades

Elon Musk’s polygonal pickup is a polarizing sales flop that's missed the billionaire’s volume goal by a staggering 84%. And there’s no sign that things are improving.

Here’s a rare sight - an Edsel. Edsel was a short-lived brand launched by Ford in 1956. Named after Henry Ford’s son Edsel, it was intended to occupy the market territory between mainstream Ford cars and the more up-market Lincolns. Ironically, one reason Edsel struggled and failed was that this gap was to a degree already covered by Mercury, a brand created by Edsel Ford himself in 1939.

So I hear #Edsel #Ford is holding a big celebration in honour of no longer being the namesake of the world's crappiest vehicle now that the #CyberFuckUp has taken the crown.
