Despite Musks grand claims of selling 250,000 Cybertrucks annually, and a million reservations that may as well have been scribbled on crumpled cocktail napkins, Tesla barely eked out 6,400 Cybertruck sales in Q1 of 2025.
At this rate, theyd be lucky to hit 20,000 by years end. And thats assuming the accelerator doesnt glue itself to the floor again, or any number of the many, many shocking reasons Cybertrucks have been recalled in their brief existence......
Desperate to offload inventory, Tesla dropped a cheaper $69,990 Rear Wheel Drive version in April that comes with fewer features andone assumes a complimentary disclaimer, or maybe even a guarantee, that something on this thing will fall off within a few months.
It feels like white flags are being waved all over the place, especially as Tesla redirects workers from Cybertruck production back to the Model Y. While we cant yet write Cybertrucks obituary, the prognosis is grim.

The figure is an estimate based on the number of Cybertruck listings in the US, tracked by Tesla-Info.com. If accurate, it's an embarrassingly high amount of expensive vehicles out there about a staggering $800 million worth, per the reporting that have never even left the dealership lot.
In the entire first quarter of the year, for comparison, Tesla barely sold around 6,400 Cybertrucks, according to Cox Automotive.
Clearly, Musk's company is having trouble suckering people into buying the stainless steel behemoths, and it's not hard to understand why buyers are staying away. With complaints of it bricking after going through a car wash to breaking down after a single mile of driving, its reputation for being shoddily made is well earned.
It's also become a symbol of public outrage against Musk, as the automaker faces worldwide protests for its CEO's far-right politics and his role in the Trump administration.

Why doesn't NASCAR run FWD if they are so much better.

(2,772 posts)I started driving large 60s Impalas so it's just a natural control move.
I enjoyed snow driving and moved that experience to our NASCAR short track.
These days it's a BMW 328. Also RWD.
I had a Chevy Citation in the 80s. That was fwd.
Most cars are probably FWD these days so that's the new natural.

(114,385 posts)those things wouldn't have sold because the pool of buyers for clunky urban tanks that are poorly thought through, poorly constructed, and a pain in the ass every time it rains is vanishingly small.
I'm sure Musk is deeply shocked about this.

I don't think the BBQ would fit in a Tesla.

(2,917 posts)Mark my words. They are going to have to bury these in a desert landfill much like Atari had to bury thousands of E.T. Cartridges in the mid-80s.
