Elon Musk estimated 250,000 Cybertruck sales per year, 3,878 delivered in first 6 months

Result: Every single driver who paid for a Cybertruck, all 3,878 of them, now has to haul their extremely angular EV to their local dealer in Tesla's biggest recall to date. And as with a lot of news these days, how you react to the recall likely depends on whether you're an obsessive fan of Elon Musk.

-------------------

The recall also revealed, inadvertently, how far short of Musk's ambition the Cybertruck has fallen thus far. The CEO estimated 250,000 Cybertruck sales per year in a recent earnings call. It's fair to say that 4,000 Cybertrucks delivered in the first 6 months is a little short of that goal. Not only is that 10 times less than the number of Rivian EV trucks sold so far — and just to be clear, Rivian is in trouble too — it's also less than half the total number of Deloreans sold in the U.S. in the 1980s.
