Cybertruck Sales Halve in Q2, Trail Ford’s F‑150 Lightning

Industry data indicate weak demand in a market still dominated by combustion pickups.

Overview

  • Cox Automotive estimates show Cybertruck sales fell year over year to 4,306 vehicles last quarter.
  • Ford’s F‑150 Lightning recorded 5,842 sales in the same period, outpacing Tesla’s electric pickup despite its own decline.
  • Tesla does not disclose Cybertruck delivery figures, and the model is currently sold only in North America.
  • The lucrative North American pickup segment remains led by large gasoline models, and limited single‑charge range discourages some commercial buyers.
  • After a delayed late‑2023 debut and a polarizing design, the Cybertruck remains far from Elon Musk’s projection of up to 250,000 units annually.
