how have you not seen one in all this time
Source: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/tesla-cybertruck-sales-elon-musk/
Apparently there's actually only about 60,000 of them that have been sold, so there's bound to be places that actually don't have them around
for comparison, F series ford trucks sell 700k per year
I see them SO often
The fact that they stand out definitely plays a role here, I never "notice" a Corolla the way I always "notice" a Cybertruck
i'm admittedly not much of a car person, but a large chunk of news i've seen of cybertrucks has been about them falling apart and shoddily built. are there any predictions of how many of that 60k will be on the road in five or ten years?
I'm not a car person either, but I'm not sure there are such formal predictions, since all the news is more so about how existing ones were failing to sell as expected. Tesla had wanted annual production at 250k+ and according to Forbes in May 2025, there were "over 10,000 unsold Cybertrucks sitting in lots around the U.S. that amount to around $800 million"
Dunno, maybe because I'm more rural where I live? I've seen some normal teslas though.
Naw that tracks.
Tbh I feel like I used to see a ton of them a year ago with the wraps and everything and now there's barely any. If you live out in the styx a lil bit you probably don't have early adopters and those things definitely aren't getting sold second hand because who else would buy that.
(I hope)
