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.
for me, I wish there were a reasonable sized, 2 door EV pickup with an 8’ bed. I don’t want an SUV with a tiny bed but it seems that even in ICE vehicles, they only want to make gigantic 4 doors with small beds. You can find actual pickups but they’re kind of rare.
Yeah, I’m with you. I tend to agree with the idea that fuel economy and emissions regulations incentivize auto makers to manufacture the ridiculously huge trucks we have today. I’m super curious to see if smaller body styles become a thing again once this incentive starts to evaporate.
