Has anyone actually seen a Tesla Cybertruck on the road? ......I know I haven't. All we heard, for months, was what a sales-success this vehicle was going to be, and how it was going to push the F-150 (and the electric F-150 Lightning) out of first place. Apparently there must be either a lack of orders, delays in production/deliveries, quality-issues in some of them preventing delivery, or maybe some people just having second thoughts and cancelling their orders. Of course, things could change, and it could end up being a success. We saw, for example, long delays in getting the Ford Bronco and Bronco Sport into production...but, once deliveries began, they have both been explosive successes.

 

Very few deliveries so far. They are still working through Founder's Series orders, and there are reportedly only 1000 or so of those. You're not going to see many Cybertrucks on the road until we get into the New Year and even then it's going to take time to ramp up.

 

I follow Tesla more closely than most I've never heard this. Can you show me the people that have said this?
There are over 2 million orders. There have been many delays that is highly documented to say the least. The truck has numerous technologies not seen before like steer by wire, proprietary stainless steel, 48 volt architecture. The doors are 100% stainless including the inner skin, no paint.
What Tesla model has not been successful?

 

I read some of your posts going back to 2019, and it seems you were pretty sure Tesla was going to fall straight on their faces. Doesn't seem to be the case, with Model Y (followed by the Model 3) being the number one selling car. I think the Cyber Truck will do quite well...I wouldn't put the cart before the horse, so to speak

 

For the most part, Apples and Oranges. 2019 is not really the issue here....the Cybertruck did not exist in 2019. What I may have said or implied back then (assuming you did not misunderstand it) has little bearing on the question I am bringing up today. Also, the Teslas of several years ago were more or less conventionally-styled, and did not have the polarizing and controversial Pyramid-looks of the Cybertruck.

And, if you saw my OP, I clearly said that this truck could yet turn out to be a success. Ford Broncos, for instance, suffered a long delay in getting into production, but, today, are crawling all over the roads like ants.

 

The Model X has not been successful.

Not sure what OP expects though. Tesla is still trying to ramp up and it just got released a month ago. Hoping to see one soon on the road.

 

According to swajames, there are only 1000 or so Cybertrucks to date, but a lot more may be coming shortly.

 

What I am more surprised about is no one who already has one has done any videos (as far as I know). Any owner right now will probably get hundreds of thousands of views if they did videos on their cybertruck.

 

I strongly disagree. Tesla has a record of success your thread strongly implies the opposite will happen which ignores history, hence the thread title.
Conventionally styled yes but not conventional. When the S hit the market it was mocked experts said no one will buy a car with laptop batteries and there is no where to charge it.
What are Ford Bronco sales numbers?
Again, who said the bold?

 

Well to be clear I was one of the ones that got the opportunity to order when the first 1000 or so invitations were reportedly being sent out to reservation holders but apparently there will be more foundation series vehicles offered. I don’t know if Tesla has yet opened up the opportunity to place an order for a non foundation series.

 

I saw a handful of shiny brand spanking new Broncos and one of the mini Broncos on my trip so far.

That's what I was wondering too.

I was expecting review videos dropped here after the release but just crickets and tumble weeds so far. Lol

implied, many times was my impression.

Good to see you back friend.

Getting any email updates or feedback on your reservation?

 

so what does one have to have done or be will to do to be able to order a 'foundation series' cybertruck?

perform some farcical aquatic ceremony with a moistened bint? (apologies to monty python lol)

 

With all due respect, it is not a debatable subject. You might as well say that air does not exist.

You can state your opinion of it, but I know what I said and meant.

In the U.S., for the last three years, around 100K a year.

 

I've seen 2; one was likely a corporate vehicle and I think the other one lives in my neighborhood.
And the one on display at the Santana Row store as a display.

I think I read they are all sold for the next 2 years. But it's early yet, and remember about Elon time...

 

With all due respect you don't decide for me what is debatable I have a very long memory I know exactly what you've said about Tesla over the years and I take that into consideration. I respectfully have disagreed with much of your views when it comes to Tesla.

On actual sales numbers, directly from Elon he said Tesla will make as many as needed perhaps 250,000 per year. After seeing various videos showing Cybertruck assembly and production I came away extremely optimistic that Tesla will work through growing pains of the new tech that goes into Cybertruck.
What were sales projections? That is lower than I thought it would be.
I follow a bunch of Tesla nuts on X as well as Tesla haters I've never seen anyone say Cybertruck will sell 1 million units/year. If anyone says that I think they are crazy I don't see that happening. Ford has 60 years of loyalty built in.
