Sales of Tesla
’s flashy Cybertruck are a fraction of the more than 1 million reservations the company had a month before deliveries began rolling out in November 2023.
So far, U.S. sales total just over 52,000 units, according to Cox Automotive.
“It’s a really remarkable vehicle,” said Sean Tucker, executive editor of Cox Automotive. “I quite like the design, but then I tend to quite like anything that stands out. And it certainly stands out.”
The Cybertruck’s futuristic design caught attention but had limited appeal, especially with truck buyers.
The truck’s specifications also fell short of those Tesla advertised early on, and in some cases fell short of those offered by leading fuel-burning pickups. There have also been many quality and production problems, as the company has issued eight voluntary recalls in little more than a year.
With all those factors, plus a less-than-advertised towing and payload capacity and the disappointing battery range, many truck buyers have stayed on the sidelines.
