The Cybertruck, a once massively hyped vehicle

It was never 'massively' hyped...no one I know thought this thing looked cool, would actually be usable as a truck or be worth the money they asked for it..hundreds of contractors, didn't give two shots about this..media hyped it, nothing more. Sure it was talked about, but mostly how stupid it looks. that's not hype.

"hype" is literally media attention

hype
1)
: publicity
especially : promotional publicity of an extravagant or contrived kind
all the hype before the boxing match
