I was outside shoveling up the last of the snow and what drives by when I lift my head up to see? A fucking cyberstuck. Wow these things look just awful up close. Really does look like a early 90's vhs player on wheels.

Tesla sold 20,237 Cybertrucks in 2025, down from 38,965 the previous year, according to figures from Kelley Blue Book's annual electric vehicle (EV) sales reports.

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

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"
