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/...

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.

They are kind of public:

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.

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?

No no it's been towed OUT OF the environment. It's not in an environment.

There is nothing out there except lithium batteries, stainless steel, and sea. And 173 Cybertrucks.

It's because they are screwed on, so after a certain amount of forwards driving, you're meant to do a bit of reversing to screw them back up. TIs design didn't work well in hindsight

Happened to my cousin in a Honda Prelude in the early 90s. But that car was pretty old and had a lot of miles by then.

Yes, Elon is a dick. But this is hardly novel. Car recalls related to wheel assembly issues are pretty common e.g. Mercedes and Toyota and plenty of others. In this case Tesla identified this strain based issue in preproduction testing but failed to apply the eco to production due to a management error and then discovered it in audits and then issued the recall. No accidents or even any definitive customer issues occurred from this. So now the customers just have to go in to the dealer for a fix, which is a pain but they still end up going in for service way less than with any ice. Hate Tesla all you want, but don't fabricate garbage engineering outrage.

Considering that every Cybertruck ever produced has been recalled, it's fair to point out that it has been a short, troubled history for this platform.

Also, 173 units is a devastating indictment, probably the wildest part of the article.

Most modern cars have a number recalls. My Kia telluride just had one about some bit of trim that might fall off and make a highway hazard. It's not like they have to replace the whole car, it's just a fix. I doubt there are many models that have zero recalls.
173 is a bit crazy for a car production line, but not so surprising considering how ugly and useless the thing is.
