Cybertruck declared dead as the 'Aggressively Stupid Era' fades

A Wired obituary for the Tesla Cybertruck, calling it 'unloved, unwanted and utterly absurd', is prompting debate over whether an era of deliberately outrageous, impractical tech products is ending. Critics say the truck's troubled production and weak demand mark a broader backlash against hype-driven designs, while supporters still defend its engineering ambition.
Why now: A widely shared Wired piece marking the Cybertruck's failure has reignited discussion about Elon Musk's product strategy and the end of shock-value tech design.
