How do you suppose Cybertruck is a failure? I see just as many of them as Rivians, while releasing over 5 years later.

- NewJazz 8mo agoRivian is not making money on those trucks either... I wouldn't count that as a win.
- _ea1k 8mo agoIt was estimated at >200k/year, but in reality is well under 50k/year. I'd say that is a failure compared to their guidance.
- Slothrop99 8mo agoIgnoring who makes it, this kind of gimmickmobile usually sells well for about a year, and then everyone who wants one has one. It was never going to be a tentpole.
- haspok 8mo agoThey are so proud of the Cybertruck sales that they don't eevn dare to disclose sales figures. That's the sign of a market success.
- qingcharles 8mo agoI regularly see Rivians. I've never once seen a Cybertruck in real life. (Midwest USA)
- stetrain 8mo agoThey built production capacity for 125,000-250,000 units per year. They are selling around 20,000 units per year. It was supposed to cost $39k at the low end and have 500 miles of range at the high end. This drove the hype and high reservation numbers. In reality it costs $79k and offers up to 325 miles of range. Doubling the price is going to significantly limit the reach of the product.
- Natfan 8mo agoit isn't road legal in many countries outside of the united states
- The_President 8mo agoBeing able to slice barb wire fence is a feature.
- panopticon 8mo agoRivian isn't exactly selling well either. Perhaps more interesting is the F-150 Lightning outsold the Cybertruck in 2025 and Ford still canceled it as a failure.
