Cybertruck sales figures

[Ombligo]

Tesla has issued a recall for its Cybertruck. The recall is for all Cybertrucks sold or en route to the customer. Since the recall covers all Cybertrucks manufactured, it is easy to extrapolate the total number on the road - 11,688. Sales in 2024 factor out to 10,525 or 1754 per month.

To put that in perspective, the Ford F150 sold an average of 62,500 trucks per month (or 14,000 per week) in 2023.

I "see" a decent number of Cybertrucks. To me, it's like people buying the 20th Anniversary Mac. It was basically a statement. I don't know if they actually plan to sell hoards of them.

I saw one and looked it over.

In a lot of ways it looks like a shed made of stainless. I think that people like the way they look on the exterior but to me they look very, very high school shop project at best.

And, yes, very DeLorean although the grade of stainless DMC used seems to be of higher quality.

It does have a post apocalyptic aesthetic. Like, after the Bomb you welded together scrap metal into a vehicle, now you're running around the Australian desert chasing Mel Gibson.

For sure. And not the sequel when they had money to burn, one of the originals where everything was scrapyard-level quality.

Yes, I'm sure they didn't want to sell very many.

They couldn't have expected to sell that many of them.

Precisely.

My friend’s son has one. He had it wrapped in a gloss black.
Now it looks like one of those stealth bombers, to me.
He has already had some issue with his rear seat AC, I think.
He is waiting for them to get the part in. I guess they can do this recall at the same time, maybe.
POS quality wise, I think. To each his own as far as styling, but I don’t fancy one.

That's cuz you don't need an armored personnel carrier. Yet.
