Demand for the angular electric pickup has continued to falter in the first quarter, making room for a new king.

The Tesla Cybertruck has lost the top spot on the list of best-selling electric pickup trucks in the United States. After finishing 2024 as a best-seller, Tesla’s only pickup has fallen to second place in the first quarter of this year.

After the first three months, the Cybertruck had amassed 7,126 registrations. The Ford F-150 Lightning overtook it with 7,913 registrations, according to the most recent data from S&P Global Mobility. The Chevrolet Silverado EV finished the first quarter in third place, followed by the GMC Sierra EV, Rivian R1T and GMC Hummer EV.

Insane it's still the 2nd most sold in USA, when the Heil gestures were January 20th.
I bet many Americans don't even care about it, the failing sales are as much a result of how flawed Tesla cars are, both by design and in manufacturing.

Of course we don't have the stupid Cybertruck in Europe, but here Tesla sales are down 50% compared to last year. While USA only has managed a measly 13%!

Not many in USA are willing to do a lot to protect democracy?! 🙄

2nd most electric pickup. There's limited competition. Just based on history, the F150 Lightning isn't likely to reliquish the title now that it has it.

Obviously and also pickuptruck, I didn't think it was necessary to repeat that.

I could see Slate giving the F-150 Lightning a run for its money in 2027.

Nah, even if it's popular, there's no way for them to make enough to compete with Ford. It would be years before they can get the capital investment to spin up that kind of output.

I have a deposit on a Telo, and they're talking about a few thousand models in the first year. I'm around 6000 on the list, and I don't expect to get one until the second or third year of production. Ford sold over 7000 F150 Lightnings this past quarter, and their market is still growing.

77 million people voted for Trump.

I am not at all surprised people are buying cybertruck regardless of what shit Musk does.
