Did not realize Cybertruck sales were this shitty
Poast new message in this thread
Date: April 16th, 2025 10:23 PM Author: snowy keepsake machete Grok, how many Cybertrucks has Tesla sold and how many did it expect to sell?
Tesla Cybertruck Sales vs. Expectations Actual Sales: • Tesla sold approximately 38,965 Cybertrucks in 2024, according to Cox Automotive estimates. • A March 2025 recall notice indicated 46,096 Cybertrucks had been sold since deliveries began in November 2023, covering all 2024 and 2025 model year vehicles produced up to February 27, 2025. Expected Sales: • Wall Street analysts (Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, UBS, Bernstein, Wedbush) forecasted an average of 48,500 Cybertruck sales for 2024. • Elon Musk initially projected 250,000 units annually, with a production capacity at Tesla’s Austin Gigafactory to support this figure. He later suggested sales could reach 150,000–250,000 units per year by 2025. • Tesla reported over 1 million reservations (later claimed to be 2 million), though the $100 refundable deposit raised doubts about conversion rates. Comparison: • In 2024, Tesla fell short of Wall Street’s 48,500-unit expectation by about 9,535 units (38,965 sold). • Compared to Musk’s 250,000 annual target, the 2024 sales of ~38,965 represent a significant shortfall, achieving only 15.6% of the goal. • The 46,096 units sold by February 2025 (over ~14 months) are far below the annualized 250,000-unit target, equating to roughly 18.4% of one year’s expected sales. • Despite over 1 million reservations, only a small fraction (estimated 2.3%–4.6% based on 46,096 sales from 1–2 million reservations) converted to purchases, reflecting weaker demand than anticipated. Context and Challenges: • High pricing (starting at ~$82,235, with average transaction prices ~$100,000–$111,018) and quality issues (multiple recalls) likely dampened demand. • Sales peaked in Q3 2024 at 16,692 units but dropped 22% to 12,991 in Q4, with further declines in Q1 2025 (estimated 5,000–8,000 units), indicating fading hype. • Tesla’s inventory of unsold Cybertrucks reached ~$200 million (~2,400 units) by April 2025, prompting production cuts. Conclusion: Tesla sold ~38,965–46,096 Cybertrucks by early 2025, significantly underperforming Wall Street’s 48,500-unit forecast for 2024 and Musk’s ambitious 250,000-unit annual target. Weak demand, high costs, and quality concerns have hindered sales despite early reservation hype.

Date: April 16th, 2025 10:26 PM Author: arousing stock car There are seriously like 5 of them in my neighborhood. I actually really like them, but they're absolutely huge in person. I had a reservation that I ended up cancelling and getting a Model X Plaid and in hindsight I'm not sure I have to space to pull it out (I live on a small street near the ocean and when it is busy there is very little space to manuever).

Except that didn't happen. Maybe V2 of the cybertruck will be that and as a result we'll see some of the benefits being touted.

Date: April 16th, 2025 10:35 PM Author: arousing stock car Wtf are you talking about, that isn't Tesla's niche at all. They are expensive cars made for UMC and wealthy people. They are not cheap workhorses. However, the Cybertruck was just too expensive and had too many problems. It was built like the Model 3/Y and not like the X/S which made justifying the $100-120k cost difficult. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5712065&forum_id=2Elisa#48855598) |

Date: April 16th, 2025 10:42 PM Author: arousing stock car Ok, link to an electric pickup truck that is functional and selling for $20k. The Ford electric F-150 costs roughly around the Cybertruck. Same with the Rivian. I can also name concrete advantages of the Cybertruck over both. If you're so much smarter than all of us go start a car company and become a billionaire.
You're spouting pie in the sky bullshit on what things "should" cost without considering how much stuff actually costs to make. |

And ljl at comparing to a Hilux and Chinese cars. Those aren't the comparables. |

They just have to do some basic business management and engineering work. Of course the cars are incredibly cheap. Meanwhile, we'll give our companies a tax break or a subsidy to build a factory in the US or whatever. You can't compare the levels of support.

They're not really what you would think of as normal Mercedes/BMW vehicles. If Tesla mass produces ATVs it will be a similar footnote.
