Tesla, the DeLorean of the 21st century. Or maybe Edsel. Or Tucker.

The DeLorean was a beautiful car, though!

And they've actually gone up in value, by quite a bit. $90k-$190k used, $25k new. Which is curious, since a decade ago, they were quite cheap.

The 80s kids who grew up watching Back to the Future are entering the age where some of them have money and mid-life crises.

The electric conversion kit came out last year.
DeLorean was / is cool tho… failed for good reason but there’s one in my area and even non car people gather round it when it is around.
The Cybertruck is nothing like the Delorean. One was the vision of a man with admitted drug use to create a stainless steel vehicle that turned out to be very unreliable. Oh wait. Nevermind.
