Ford F-150 Lightning outsold Tesla Cybertruck and was then canceled for not selling enough
Key Points:
- Tesla Cybertruck production is operating at about 10% of planned capacity, with estimated global sales around 21,500 units for 2025, significantly underperforming expectations.
- Tesla groups Cybertruck sales within an “Other Models” category, making it difficult to track exact figures; estimates suggest Cybertruck sales have declined sharply despite price cuts and new trims.
- The Ford F-150 Lightning outsold the Cybertruck in 2025 with approximately 27,300 units sold in the US, even as Ford announced the Lightning’s production end to focus on new electric vehicle strategies.
- Tesla has attempted various measures to boost Cybertruck sales, including releasing a cheaper version and having SpaceX purchase over 1,000 units
