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.
It was EVER? 🤔
News on car sales are always presented as monthly or by quarter.
That way, everyone gets a participation trophy by breaking the records in the period that they actually deliver a new model to the tarmac.
I don’t blame the news outlets. Reporting on record car sales is kind of boring when the 1966 Toyota Corolla is still the most sold car.
I have no doubt that Tesla actually managed to peak for a while in the category “American sales of electric pick-ups trucks”.
It wasn’t then, sure. But it also isn’t now.
