The Mercedes-Benz EQS is one of the biggest flops in the company's history, and could compete for the worst flop of 21st Century. The over-production is so bad that they are still selling MY2023 stocks in China with almost 50% discount:

EQS450+ MSRP: ¥881k (US$122k) Lowest OTD Price: ¥451k (US$62k) Average Transaction Price over 6 months: ¥528k (US$73k)

Other EQ series products are also in deep trouble. Nobody wants soap bar cars and MB didn't realize it until it's too late.

I like how people gloss over how this went from "the body is the structure" to "we glued metal panels to a plastic truck".

A Tesla Cybertruck Owner Says Kids at his Son’s Baseball Practice Laughed at his Cybertruck After it was Towed – Adds, “28 kids Went From Thinking the Cybertruck Was Cool to Pointing & Laughing”​

A Cybertruck owner says that the 10-year-old kids at his son’s baseball practice initially thought the Cybertruck was the coolest vehicle. However, their excitement faded & they started to point & laugh after the Cybertruck had to be towed on a flatbed.

"I became a laughingstock because my divorcemobile got towed in front of a worthless children's baseball team" would be a great thing to have on your tombstone, which could just be a repurposed & engraved toilet since you put everything from your divorce into that truck.

This guy's entire writing career is the Cybertruck. God (who isn't real) bless.
