Fact of the day: the Ford Edsel ("a 1950s flop so notorious that it’s taught in business schools to this day") outsold the Cybertruck 2:1, "in a country with half the population."https://www.ebsco.com/research-starters/history/ford-introduces-edsel(h/t Luke Savage in the American Prospect, https://prospect.org/2026/01/30/teslas-wile-e-coyote-moment-is-here/)
