    Yep ALL 173 cars sold!!
    There’s a reason the Cybertruck sales aren’t public.

      That’s only the rear wheel drive ones. There are still plenty of other idiots who were dumb enough to put down even more money for the prior more expensive variants.

        Of course it’s only the rear wheel drive ones, that’s what this is all about?!
        Still it’s lame to only sell 173 of a cheaper version, the sales on day 1 should have been higher than that.

        Not so much, sales of Cybertruck have been plummeting, already last year they dropped 48%. And this year will probably be worse.

        https://www.cbsnews.com/news/tesla-cybertruck-sales-elon-musk/

        That 48% loss is allegedly the biggest drop of any EV in 2025. And that is despite Musk bought up Cybertrucks himself through SpaceX. Boosting sales by more than 1300 Cybertrucks in the 4th quarter alone!
        Meaning that Musk bought 20% of the Cybertrucks sold in Q4 2025 himself. 🤣 🤣 🤣

          The fact that they are selling any of those hideous looking, terrible vehicles is kind of impressive in a very sad way.

            Yes it’s an all around horrible car, it’s kind of impressive it has stayed in the market for as long as it has. But I wouldn’t be surprised if it is discontinued soon.

        Yes kind of, but that’s not the same as being public, but a report based on 3rd party information.

        The official Tesla Cybertruck numbers are bunched together with Model S and Model X.
        Which is also why the very poor sales of the cheaper model is news.

          Didn’t they also run some giant sales scam in Canada to fraudulently claim tax credits for fake EV sales? Where they were claiming dealerships were selling like 200 cars a day?

            Yes indeed they did, and Tesla came under investigation and the tax deductions were withdrawn as fraudulent.
            I am not aware of the result of the investigation, but I bet Tesla would have advertised it if they were cleared.

              i could be mistaken but wasn’t this one of several investigations into Musk owned companies which was halted after the inauguration?

              There were so many investigations against tech bros stopped in 2025, it’s hard to keep it all straight.

                There were allegedly investigations into Tesla in USA too, that were stopped by Trump and the Musk DOGE program.
                But this has nothing to do with the obvious fraud they did in Canada.
