alt Hacker NewsI know its been a few years, but the Cybertruck has been an epic disaster.
Cybertruck was announced first. Then Ford _released_ the F150 Lightning, including the ability to operate as a backup battery for a house. And a dozen or so months later, Cybertruck comes out at a much higher price than F150 Lightning ever was.

Has it? It was the R&D car and really cut the costs of developing the robotaxi that they're going all-in on. 48v wiring, ethernet hub, giant casting tech, and a lot more.
The price point on the Cybertruck and the Lightning were comparable, particularly if you price based on range.
> the Cybertruck has been an epic disaster
As has the F150 lightning. It lost so much money and demand was so low that Ford had to kill it to stop bleeding money.
I think they might be commenting on the fact that the f150 lightning has been cancelled for some time now
