Demand for the angular electric pickup has continued to falter in the first quarter, making room for a new king.
The Tesla Cybertruck has lost the top spot on the list of best-selling electric pickup trucks in the United States. After finishing 2024 as a best-seller, Tesla’s only pickup has fallen to second place in the first quarter of this year.
After the first three months, the Cybertruck had amassed 7,126 registrations. The Ford F-150 Lightning overtook it with 7,913 registrations, according to the most recent data from S&P Global Mobility. The Chevrolet Silverado EV finished the first quarter in third place, followed by the GMC Sierra EV, Rivian R1T and GMC Hummer EV.
Have you sat in a Lightning before? I liked a lot of aspects of it, but after sitting in one, it is HUGE. My guess is that it’s at least as big or bigger than the EV Hummer. I wish they had one that was in similar size to the F150 of the nineties.
I see the Hummer EV once or twice each day I commute. When you spot it, other than it screaming that the owner is a huge douche, it gives you that “jesus, that’s a massive tank filling up that lane” feeling. The F150 does not. It looks like all the other large passenger trucks on the road. So, maybe the Ford is longer or something, but that Hummer is deffo bigger. And obscene. I do not like them.
They’re making the ranger, who knows when that will go electric though. I’ve been really happy with my Rivian, it’s an R1T and I only leased it because buying a Gen1 electric is insane but I think Rivian has what it takes to be a real contender and it is smaller than the lighting
No I haven’t, actually. I was stopped by the price-tag before I ever got near one. I didn’t realize they were that big.
It’s 1:1 size to an ice f150. I liked it on test drive, but wanted a much smaller truck, or at least cheaper
The Slate truck might be something you’re interested in, the reservation price is super low
Looks good but I’ll wait till I can test drive one.
