That may well have been true -- but what were Cybertrucks selling for in Q3 2024? The only available options at that time were the Foundation Series AWD (starting at $99,990), and the Foundation Series Cyberbeast (starting at $119,990). So the average selling price for a Cybertruck in Q3 2024...

Over the next 5 years, the Cybertruck could see meaningful competition from smaller electric pickups, including the Slate, the Toyota Hilux EV, and a forthcoming small BEV pickup from Ford (possibly named the "Ranchero"). These vehicles won't match the CT on specs, but they should be much less...

In 2024, the Cybertruck was the best selling electric pickup in the world. In the US, it outsold its closest competitor, the Ford F-150 Lightning, by 39,965 to 33,510 (Cox numbers). I don't think electric pickup sales outside the US would have changed that ranking. In 2025, however, the...

Cybertruck sales numbers for the First Quarter of the year, according to Cox: 1Q 2024: 2,803 1Q 2025: 6,406 1Q 2026: 3,519 The low number for 1Q 2024 is understandable. The first CTs began to trickle out to the public at the end of 2023, and production was still ramping in 1Q 2024. Tesla...

Here's a thread started on September 12, 2025 by someone who purchased a CT out of inventory: New CT AWD Owner, First EV - 80XXX VIN So the VINs were already at 80,000+ in inventory in September 2025. Shortly afterwards, the NHTSA announced a parking light recall, which affected all Cybertrucks...

Estimates based on VINs will be too high, because Tesla doesn't use every VIN. Some VINs are discarded and never get issued. There was a recent recall that affected all Cybertrucks produced through October 11, 2025. The documentation listed the total number of affected CTs at 63,619. That was...

Looks like most of the used CTs are in Orlando, Florida -- but not all of them. If you search for used CTs in southern California, you will get a couple hits in Ontario. Just to be clear, that means the City of Ontario in the eastern suburbs of Los Angeles (apparently some place in Canada has a...

Yup. According to Sawyer Merritt: Used Foundation Series come with: - 3 months of free FSD (Supervised) - 3 months of free Premium Connectivity - 3 months of free Supercharging Used non-Foundation series come with: - 1 month of free FSD (Supervised) - 1 month of free Premium Connectivity - no...

I believe that's true; the NHTSA can only mandate recalls for safety issues. Recalls have to be fixed at no cost to the customer. If you think your vehicle has a safety issue, you can report it to the NHTSA. This is supposed to trigger an investigation and maybe eventually a recall. If...

Like it or not, the odds of the AM radio mandate taking effect have just risen significantly. In the House, the "AM Radio in Every Vehicle Act" got folded into the "Motor Vehicle Modernization Act of 2026", which in turn is likely to be folded into the "BUILD America 250 Act" for funding surface...

This claim is long out of date. Historically yes, Cox reports did break out the numbers for pure EVs vs. Mild Hybrids/PHEVs. But they stopped doing that in 3Q 2022. One click will confirm that their latest 1Q 2026 report does not include any hybrids. They don't have hydrogen tanks or fuel...

It will be interesting to see how industry analysts handle this issue. For example, Cox Automotive publishes a quarterly EV sales report that gets a lot of attention (including here). Will the Ram 1500 REV qualify as an “EV” for purposes of their sales report? I suspect that it might, but we...

You're right, it's still a hybrid. But it's closer to a pure EV than existing mild hybrid and PHEV designs. Existing hybrids are basically ICE designs supplemented by electric. The 1500 REV is more like an EV design supplemented by ICE. If Ram ever opts to make a pure EV, it should be...

The Ram 1500 REV is still scheduled for 2026 availability, so within the next 6 months or so. Test vehicles with manufacturer's plates have recently been spotted in public. Styling is obviously conventional, like the F-150 Lightning. Two ports on the driver's side, one for charging (I think it...

My wild guess was wrong. Apparently there is a rule that manufacturers don't use certain characters for model year identification, and one of those characters is "U'. So the 2027 model year should skip ahead to "V".

Also, for the record: - VIN digits 1 to 5 are 7G2CE for all known Cybertrucks (= Cybertruck made by Tesla) - VIN digit 11 is A for all known Cybertrucks (= made in Austin) So if you know the model year and # of motors on a Cybertruck, you automatically know 10 of the 17 VIN digits. Only 7 of...

OK, thanks. So now we know that Cybertruck versions are coded in VIN digits 6, 7, and 8 as follows: GEC = RWD single-motor HED = AWD dual-motor (both Standard and Premium) HEE = Cyberbeast tri-motor It seemed possible that the new Standard AWD would be GED (like the "GEC" of an RWD, but ending...

Congrats! And hey, could you share digits 6, 7, and 8 of the VIN? Those are used to indicate the Cybertruck version, but it's not clear how Tesla defined the Base AWD. There are currently three options; the Base AWD may (or may not) be a new fourth option. At this moment, you may be the only...

Yeah, wish we had that level of detail for EV sales nationally. Cox estimated 20,237 Cybertruck sales in the US in 2025. Add a few thousand more for international sales. The California database shows 6,134 Cybertrucks were registered statewide in 2025. The implication is that somewhere around...

The Model Y and Model 3 have been the #1 and #2 EVs in California for years. If a new EV design is challenging the Model 3 for the #2 spot, that's noteworthy, regardless of vehicle type.
