They could already out range everyone if they wanted. It would cost more and they would produce less trucks because of 4680 supply but they could.

There will be a crazy leap in energy density one day, it could be 2 years or 40 though.

I'm not surprised that the Cybertruck would outsell its established competitors from Ford and Rivian. Since the 70s image has become a bigger factor in truck sales than actual utility, and in the minds of most pickup buyers EVs have the wrong image. With the Cybertruck, Tesla has created a new image that is tough and futuristic and will appeal to buyers in a way that the F-150 Lightning will never appeal. It may not be my cup of tea, but I understand why people want this.
Sports car ish type handling, very tight turning radius, very tough truck, super acceleration, 6' Bed, and eventually FSD not far off at all. As with Tesla always, gonna keep getting better and better
few complaints about build quality. there were a few mistakes, e.g., front door latch put on rear door, preventing the rear door from opening to almost 90 degrees. The door gap problem was also isolated to only a few CTs
The Chevy Silverado just killed the Cybertruck in towing capabilities in "Out of Spec" recent 500 mile test along with the F150 Lighting and Rivian and Cybertruck recently all towing Model 3's!
Both are imposible to get to a normal customer. Chevy Silverado was pushed back 1 full year. Tesla CT has a very long waiting list, so none of them can be purchased by a new customer for an EV truck.
Tesla honestly is surprised me with how fast they ramped up the cybertruck. I wasn’t expecting to see them often for at least 1 to 1.5 years, but I’m already seeing multiple here in Phoenix
800 week is about 10,000/quarter. The ramp must continue up to the expected 300+ per day. It is possible that the Cybertruck passes Rivian's *total* deliveries with just Cybertruck 2024 production. Tesla is sucking up the oxygen in the EV truck market. Ford has such bad software and due to botched management, they cannot efficiently update the software. I've watched videos and the navigation to chargers is a fail. Counter-productive
Cybertruck assembly problems? Other than a loose door latch, easily fixed by torquing a few bolts, I've only heard praise for how well built Cybertrucks are made.
Love the teeny Aptera sticker in the background, Drew! This is a useful analysis, though I live in a different market (UK) so these pickups are not really intended for us. I've got to say, though, that a Cybertruck as an IT service vehicle is equal parts brilliant and overkill - it'll definitely get noticed, but there have to be better uses of space for that job! I've been in R1T and F150 Lightning (yes, they're over this side of the pond) - the Ford makes the Rivian look small! I know someone who had a reservation down for Cybertruck, before they yoinked it from UK (along with RHD S/X), so I've never been in one. With the Ford and Rivian, the space inside seemed similar, though the outside wasn't, and I thought the R1T gave better visibility from the driver's seat - YMMV, I'm 6'2" / 240-ish lbs. Do you or anyone here have a relative experience between them and the Cybertruck? Anyway, thanks for the content, it's always useful to watch 😎👍
Out of spec just charged a CT at 330 kw at a non Tesla charger. That proves the CTs capability and I’m sure that the Tesla V4 cabinets (when they arrive) will allow for these kind of charging speeds.
The steer-by-wire and 4-wheel steering makes CT incredible just with those features. Range? Similar to everyone else in various capacities... FSD is absolutely stunning right now... When that happens as far as the proper press and maybe 6 months out, watch out! I can only imagine using FSD for the first time on a significant drive and then never wanting to not use it going forward on any significant drive. If Tesla's semis get start getting massive adoption WITH FSD... gonna be a game changer
Silverado EV looks like a beast and I'm all for it. It just seems like it has too much for my needs. I don't need the beefiest/strongest/best towing/etc. I just want one that I can take off roading and hunting. Cybertruck fits that
@@TroySavary I don't really need to tow very often so that's not an issue. The range on the Cybertruck is more than enough for my needs. Plus, I imagine by the time I actually get mine they will have worked out some issues and it might have more range. Just speculation on my part
With the amount of automation they have on the line, and minimal number of parts, I suspect they could end up back near the original price after scaling, and still have plenty of profit
True, but at least is in production. For the GM , it was pushed back a full year. By that time its software will be obsolete. Ford will have FSD at thatv time.
Hundreds (thousands?) of reservation holders like me have passed on the Foundation Series e-mail invites and are waiting on the “normal” $79,990 AWD Cybertruck’s to start production.
Id say when the rich found out they could jump the line with the foundation they offset any normal reserve cancellations. It probably be a good year before "Normal" reservations get started and a good 5 years to work through those.
@@TailosiveEV& Elon literally said it wasn’t a panel gap issue but a door sticker being lose and the door literally wasn’t closing all the way extremely easy fix
@@TailosiveEV yes, its pretty pathetic to even have that problem and the fact that Boeing can't keep their doors on and Toyota tried to fix wheels falling off, and didn't get it right first time, doesn't excuse that this was a silly problem to have. What interests me is how do they know it was those 15 trucks? If true, that implies that their records tell them what torque was used on those, and it was wrong for some reason, and they can track it, which is wild. We know that their vehicles display what has and hasn't been done on the screen while they're building it, which is insanely clever (its not, but it is if you compare it to legacy autos complete lack of innovation). Perhaps the tools they use automatically record their data as you use them - that might be perfectly possible with a mounted tool at a particular work station - my guess would be they'd use air powered tools that are probably cabled. Or he could have been fibbing of course. If you'd told me in the 80s that cars would be able to display tyre pressure, live, while you're driving I'd have told you you were taking the Michael. :D
@@TroySavary lmao they have been at it for 5 months longer than Tesla, majority of the Silverado is OLD and taken from the gas version, everything about the cybertruck is new from the ground up & they are already at a run rate of 1000 per week which equates to 52K a year and the production is increasing exponentially📈 the same ignorant shit about GM and the hummer was uttered and the hummer has been an absolute DISASTER of a product they lose 50K every time they sell one and have barley delivered any
@@zandercerlong7238 Silverado EV started shipping in the fall. Thats not 5 months longer. Also, you have no idea what the word exponential means. Yes, I know the majority of Silverado sales were ICE. I wasn't talking about those numbers, or I would have been talking hundreds of thousands. But feel free to include those numbers if you really want the Cybertruck to be trounced badly.
Cybertruck has so many firsts for any vehicle in particular drive by wire which as with "octavalve" could become an industry standard as has now played out with the Tesla charging network still pretty much impossible to bet against Tesla at the moment with Ford and Rivian no doubt holding back on production to try and make improvements on the line. GM has no "line"(production) to improve upon as of yet but maybe this Fall that will change. The biggest threat to the extant pickup truck market remains the Ford F150 hybrid in my view for premium buyers. The current glut of pure play ICE platform product in the USA which is only growing btw is truly incredible to see play out. The new Ford Explorer still remains therefore the most important vehicle launch for Calendar Year 2024 this Year although Cybertruck is right up there suddenly absolutely.
@@thomasreese2816 You mean the Tesla fanboi wishful thinking is that GM is degrading the battery faster. You need something to cling to in order to explain away the clear win by GM.
No one wants to talk about how after 4 years, there's now a "foundations" model that is nearly twice the price that they originally advertised...marketing 101...
@@zandercerlong7238 Yes, that is true. But said company should also not complain when the majority of the potential customers look elsewhere after the price hike. That is also capitalism.
Midgate would be a huge change. Castings would have to be redesigned and tonneau cover would have to be removed. They'd also lose tons of rigidity. It would be a great feature, but it isn't happening
Hey GM: imho, regarding inability to produce EVs with positive profit margins, you can thank in part Exec salaries, bonuses, and now even higher UAW salaries. So I guess the strategy is now blame ‘lower than expected ev demand’. That’s sadly so funny. While Tesla is making profits and producing even more EVs, in several countries…
once people learn that CT is unlike any other vehicle on Earth with 48v, SBW & exoskeleton. Moreover, all CT reaction video showed that people love CT when seeing it in real.
@@zandercerlong7238 There have already been far more than 3000 Hummers delivered, and they are meant to be low volume. Why would the Silverado, traditionally GM's best seller, deliver fewer vehicles than the niche Hummer? You are demonstrating the typical Tesla fan's aversion to both facts and critical thinking.
@@TroySavary GM themselves and their CEO hyped up the hummer like it was going to do numbers of course not as high as Silverado but certainly more than it’s done it’s a failure of a project no other way to frame it. F150 is best selling pickup truck but their EV version is going to be caught and passed in sales numbers by the cybertruck THIS YEAR book it
Counting resales... Maybe. Straight sales? No. lol no way. The Ford F-150 will continue to hold that title (not just best selling truck in America but best selling vehicle overall).
As a Rivian investor, I really want to see them succeed. But as a tech nerd, I am happy to see Tesla thrive with the cyber truck. I saw my first one in person last week and it does look very good
I admire and like Tesla as much as the next EV enthusiasts, and enjoy this channel... However, I always giggle when Tesla enthusiasts covering the EV space throw out the fact that traditional OEMs selling EVs through a dealership network will inevitably have their consumers gouged on price when it comes to low volume high demand EVs, while in the same breath glossing over Tesla's current production volumes + demand, and inevitable price hike related to whatever new EV model they've just launched (as evidenced with the Foundation Series CT)... Right, tomato/tomato 😂😉🤫 It's the law of supply and demand, and all new EVs are impacted by it regardless of OEM and selling strategy. If anything, I blame consumers and their willingness to buy at inflated prices to have the newest thing to flex with. While I'm happy to sit it out until prices stabilize for new things I want/desire, many aren't, thus inflated pricing for the newest hotness. 🤷🏽♂️
It’s a shame Rivian didn’t announce an R2T with a folding midgate. The Cybertruck will forever remain fugly to my eyes. I hope Telo is able to get their truck into production too!
Even with the cuts ford is still out selling tesla each week, let me know when Tesla hit 4,000 units a week. With a price tag 🏷 of 100,000 demand is going to be low for tesla. Ford is only loosing money 💴 because the Battery 🔋 production lines cost so much and you need a lot of battery built before you pay off the plant plus ford had boosted production of battery plant then fuel price dropped / and interest rates went up two reasons for drop in demand 2025 is update is coming heat pump
Tesla has a heatpunp now in all their new cars. They also have the octovalve that no one has. Ford can use the octovalve if they are willing to make public their patents (al, of them are obsolete. ICE pattens value is zero, an ev technology is inferior to Tesla. If they are willing to have alisence for FSD they can also do it for the AC system.
Ford sold 24,000 F-150 lightning in 2023 and have a lot of inventory at dealerships. They are hoping to make 1,600 a week in 2024 so that inventory is going to get huge. If Tesla double output per quarter they could reach 90,000 in 2024 and sell all of them.
well they took their time getting set up for production while the others just got them out the door as fast as possible and not find out after the 1st adopters let the rest know how littl range they all have and no were near what was promised. how long it takes to charge, it was bound to be a loss for the companies. also the problem with all electric vehicles. they cant make them cheap enough to get mass to buy them and those that were interested don't want to have to wait along the road to charge them. as there aren't enough places to charge yet and with the no pull through chargeing is another issue. like how do you know who is next to charge. all IMO as those are all reason i realized they electric vehicles over all are not worth me buying. I was initially excited to buy a Cyber truck but now I have no intrest in any electric vehicle. even if I am paying 6 a gallon for fuel. the conveince is worth the cost.
Were you literally paid by the oil industry? You’re using all the same dead ass arguments against EVs. Tesla charging network is more than enough & gets better every day
Tesla ev cars are cheaper than a comparable ICE car in the US. That was done in 2023. Tesla software plans your charging stops, but if you prefer another it will show how many chargers it has, how many are ocupied, and the time it will take to reach 80% at those chargers. Yes Tesla has more than enought chargers, so many that they can supply charge to all EV in the US. now and in the future. One tesla charger is installed every hour, and they will reduce that time. You probably have never intended to purchase an ev. This facts are widely known in the ev comunity, but your statement "those that were interested don't want to have to wait along the road to charge them. as there aren't enough places to charge yet and with the no pull through chargeing is another issue. like how do you know who is next to charge. all IMO as those are all reason i realized they electric vehicles over all are not worth me buying." shows to everyone that you have no idea why every automaker agreed to implement the Tesla NACS
Anyone buying the current must-have thing in its first five years of production is a fool who's easily parted with their hard earned money. Anyone who buys the must-have thing from someone who bought it just to make a quick profit is also completely foolish. My advice, wate 5 years, the product will be much better in quality, the infrastructure will be much better in its development and of course the price will be lower and range should be much better.
But there are people that need a vehicle now, not just in a few years. If you wait 4-5 years more, there will be even newer advances in battery technology, way to assemble an ev, etc.
Sure sure GM ev truck great 👍. But where are you gonna Find those fast chargers ? like one every thousand miles.? How are you going to buy such a truck when the factory can’t make enough or loses money off each one? Also, what’s the deal with their software and reliability??? Hummmm not so simple…
@@yalslaus You have a source for 800 produced last week? If there were, then they are sitting around, because it is almost certain that March numbers, when they are rekeased, won't amount to 800 sokd, much less 800 per week.
They started makin 1 per day, now is almost 143 perday in just 1 month of ramping production. They will be #1 in cumulative 1/2 year sales. After that no one will ever be close to Tesla production. Cars are being manufactured one evry 38 minutes. The CT is simpler than a car, but will only be made in a single factory line. The Giga press they bought was able to 750,000 cycles per year, and Tesla have 2 of them installed. in Texas.
Best selling EV Pick up truck in 2024 isn't shocking because, well, Rivian sucks lol (Also Ford clearly also sucks at EV trucks because they have their own set of issues). It's tesla, but doesn't really mean much because production is low relative to other Tesla production... Let's see how this sells in 2-3 years from now once they catch up on production. Also, it has a ton of BAD press/issues... the rusting issue is definitely a major PR issue IMO. Even if it's solved by wrapping" to fix, the fact that you have to wrap it is just bad design. Hopefully they solve the issue soon if not already.
Why? Average full size ice pickup truck sold in 2023 was over 63k, ev trucks are 78k on average. Imo they need a trim similar to the lightning flash around 75k&eligible for the full $7,500 tax credit, that would be the $ maker trim. Leave the cyberbeast tri motor in the stratosphere and concentrate on the lower spec&price trims to hit 200k+in sales. 👍🏻😎
@@SquidwardTortallini so once you get your email to order your CT you have to put $1000 down to reserve and then you’ll get assigned a VIN to your truck and I did just that but I having second thoughts now. I’m having a hard time justifying the price
@@TailosiveEVIf demand is so high, why are they pulling demand lever gimmicks like trying to make you feel special by spendingva few referral points. It's a FOMO tactic to get people to buy now.
Of course they are good to drop the price they have already said as much that’s what the base model is for anyway. They will get close to the original base price announce in 2019(INFLATION ADJUSTED)
The $60k affordable version has not even reach to the average consumer yet. All I see are a bunch of these spoiled fan boys do stupid things to the truck $120k trim.
you dont know crap about what a work truck is. People who need work truck are Not buying the base model F150. People who do heavy hual and towing are not buying F150s, Ram 1500s, etc. They are buying F250, Ram 2500 and up. oh someone is using the cybertruck for work. Yeah not for towing and hauling a lot.
Sales are what they have delivered to customers. Currently all deliveries are foundation models which cost $100,000-120,000. When foundation orders cease they will mainly sell the 4WD which after tax credit is $72,500.. By mid next years they will be selling the RWD base model for $52,500. Tesla is very good at cutting production costs so end of 2025 base model could be going for $45,000 and still making a profit. By 2026 they will be churning out 5,000 a week and that will cut into Ford and GM profits. The Silverado does look good and has a huge battery but GM has deferred production. I don´t think GM can afford to sell to many Silverado EV.
@@robertwoodhouse-bm7kt I'm just looking at unpaid liabilities. (what are they claiming on their books). People with "reservations" have only put down 100 dollars. People who have been told they need to finance the rest of the order (or buy up-front), I would consider 'ORDERS'. Reservations mean little to nothing, if it's only 100 dollars. Tesla (Elon), has had a history of overstating actual sales, THEN coming up with something new to invest in, to pay for the previous shortfall. The Silverado looks fantastic, but I don't think its going to make it to production.
There was alot of hype created which raised expectations. Elon has underdelivered what was represented over four years ago. Used gimmicks to create hype like the whole quarter mile gimmick with the sports car. Once enough of them get out there you'll see reality set in and sales level or drop.
Given they’re cranking them out and selling each one for six figures I doubt sales will go down. People will forget the unveiling promised just like they did for the model y
Tesla is also loosing money on CyberTruck sales. They need to have a rate of 250,000 per year. I believe they can reaqch that number before the year is over.
just like all trucks..... once the wealthy buyers are gone.... they will sit on teslas lot.... mark my words.... however if they were 40 to 60k they might sell....

Best software, that can't estimate range correctly, can't activate the locking differentials, and can't use the FSD people paid extra for.
Funny my 2020 diesel silverado 1500 with a comma running openpilot does amazing including stopping at stop lights and signs. All for $1500!
Unfortunately, CT needs the range extender and software tweaks for charging to compete in towing.

Cybertruck assembly problems? Other than a loose door latch, easily fixed by torquing a few bolts, I've only heard praise for how well built Cybertrucks are made.
Love the teeny Aptera sticker in the background, Drew!
This is a useful analysis, though I live in a different market (UK) so these pickups are not really intended for us. I've got to say, though, that a Cybertruck as an IT service vehicle is equal parts brilliant and overkill - it'll definitely get noticed, but there have to be better uses of space for that job!
I've been in R1T and F150 Lightning (yes, they're over this side of the pond) - the Ford makes the Rivian look small! I know someone who had a reservation down for Cybertruck, before they yoinked it from UK (along with RHD S/X), so I've never been in one. With the Ford and Rivian, the space inside seemed similar, though the outside wasn't, and I thought the R1T gave better visibility from the driver's seat - YMMV, I'm 6'2" / 240-ish lbs. Do you or anyone here have a relative experience between them and the Cybertruck?
Anyway, thanks for the content, it's always useful to watch 😎👍
Out of spec just charged a CT at 330 kw at a non Tesla charger. That proves the CTs capability and I’m sure that the Tesla V4 cabinets (when they arrive) will allow for these kind of charging speeds.
The steer-by-wire and 4-wheel steering makes CT incredible just with those features. Range? Similar to everyone else in various capacities... FSD is absolutely stunning right now... When that happens as far as the proper press and maybe 6 months out, watch out! I can only imagine using FSD for the first time on a significant drive and then never wanting to not use it going forward on any significant drive.
If Tesla's semis get start getting massive adoption WITH FSD... gonna be a game changer
the only limitation is how fast can they ramp up
Silverado EV looks like a beast and I'm all for it. It just seems like it has too much for my needs. I don't need the beefiest/strongest/best towing/etc. I just want one that I can take off roading and hunting. Cybertruck fits that
As long as you don't need to go very far, I guess.
@@TroySavarygoes 400 miles. A lot further than the Cybertruck...
@@Cttechexpress I thought you meant taking Cybertruck off road and hunting.
@@TroySavary I don't really need to tow very often so that's not an issue. The range on the Cybertruck is more than enough for my needs. Plus, I imagine by the time I actually get mine they will have worked out some issues and it might have more range. Just speculation on my part
They got almost 500 at the factory but why are the setting there instead of being shipped.
The 500 you see at the factory are not the same 500 you will see the next day. They are constantly shipping.
Yea man I finally got my Vin tonight its about 6500, this is good news so makes it seem only a few weeks out!
With the amount of automation they have on the line, and minimal number of parts, I suspect they could end up back near the original price after scaling, and still have plenty of profit
They only have to get down to like 54K to get back down to the original base starting price so yes that will probably happen
Never happen.
@@justbecause9645 they can get the cybertruck entry level down to 54-58K
Wait and see.250,000 rate by the end of 2024.@@justbecause9645
Just like my son said, .. it looks like a little boy built that out of Plywood
Big big back log , they don’t be able to supply demand for years .
True, but at least is in production. For the GM , it was pushed back a full year. By that time its software will be obsolete. Ford will have FSD at thatv time.
Hundreds (thousands?) of reservation holders like me have passed on the Foundation Series e-mail invites and are waiting on the “normal” $79,990 AWD Cybertruck’s to start production.
Id say when the rich found out they could jump the line with the foundation they offset any normal reserve cancellations. It probably be a good year before "Normal" reservations get started and a good 5 years to work through those.
Dirty Tesla didn’t have any gap problems. Look at ANY new car today and you will find panel and alignment problems.
That’s one example, did you see Marques? Elon admitted 15 other trucks had the same issue
@@TailosiveEV& Elon literally said it wasn’t a panel gap issue but a door sticker being lose and the door literally wasn’t closing all the way extremely easy fix
Easy to fix doesn’t mean good build quality
@@TailosiveEV yes, its pretty pathetic to even have that problem and the fact that Boeing can't keep their doors on and Toyota tried to fix wheels falling off, and didn't get it right first time, doesn't excuse that this was a silly problem to have. What interests me is how do they know it was those 15 trucks? If true, that implies that their records tell them what torque was used on those, and it was wrong for some reason, and they can track it, which is wild. We know that their vehicles display what has and hasn't been done on the screen while they're building it, which is insanely clever (its not, but it is if you compare it to legacy autos complete lack of innovation). Perhaps the tools they use automatically record their data as you use them - that might be perfectly possible with a mounted tool at a particular work station - my guess would be they'd use air powered tools that are probably cabled. Or he could have been fibbing of course. If you'd told me in the 80s that cars would be able to display tyre pressure, live, while you're driving I'd have told you you were taking the Michael. :D
Yeaaaa the Silverado “On Paper” where it will remain. production numbers are so low it might as well not exist
More Silverados were delivered than Cybertrucks.
@@TroySavary lmao they have been at it for 5 months longer than Tesla, majority of the Silverado is OLD and taken from the gas version, everything about the cybertruck is new from the ground up & they are already at a run rate of 1000 per week which equates to 52K a year and the production is increasing exponentially📈 the same ignorant shit about GM and the hummer was uttered and the hummer has been an absolute DISASTER of a product they lose 50K every time they sell one and have barley delivered any
@@zandercerlong7238 Silverado EV started shipping in the fall. Thats not 5 months longer. Also, you have no idea what the word exponential means.
Yes, I know the majority of Silverado sales were ICE. I wasn't talking about those numbers, or I would have been talking hundreds of thousands. But feel free to include those numbers if you really want the Cybertruck to be trounced badly.
There's no Rivian 'profitability to 'enhance'. Closing their factory permanently would stop them losing $40k/car though.
Apparently, Cybertruck headlights suck bad in snow at night☹️😡
Cybertruck has so many firsts for any vehicle in particular drive by wire which as with "octavalve" could become an industry standard as has now played out with the Tesla charging network still pretty much impossible to bet against Tesla at the moment with Ford and Rivian no doubt holding back on production to try and make improvements on the line. GM has no "line"(production) to improve upon as of yet but maybe this Fall that will change. The biggest threat to the extant pickup truck market remains the Ford F150 hybrid in my view for premium buyers. The current glut of pure play ICE platform product in the USA which is only growing btw is truly incredible to see play out. The new Ford Explorer still remains therefore the most important vehicle launch for Calendar Year 2024 this Year although Cybertruck is right up there suddenly absolutely.
Silverado is a guess. That means GM doesn’t REALLY know what they are doing with the charge curve.
Silverado has a better charging curve than Cybertruck.
The implication is that they might be boosting the numbers now, while significantly degrading capacity with time. Although the pack is huge 🤷♂️
@@thomasreese2816 You mean the Tesla fanboi wishful thinking is that GM is degrading the battery faster. You need something to cling to in order to explain away the clear win by GM.
We're still waiting for your driving review Where's that video ?
Next week!
@@TailosiveEV awesome! I was going to say you could come down to Santa Rosa and drive mine.
No one wants to talk about how after 4 years, there's now a "foundations" model that is nearly twice the price that they originally advertised...marketing 101...
Everyone except Tesla stans are talking about it.
Yeah let's just ignore inflation lol
@@Baskinbzier Inflation wasn't 100% in 4 years.
A company can sell something for whatever they want if people are WILLING to buy it. Don’t be mad at capitalism
@@zandercerlong7238 Yes, that is true. But said company should also not complain when the majority of the potential customers look elsewhere after the price hike. That is also capitalism.
I called it
I think there will a version 2 Cybertruck within 2 years. Smaller, lighter weight with a midgate.
Midgate would be a huge change. Castings would have to be redesigned and tonneau cover would have to be removed. They'd also lose tons of rigidity. It would be a great feature, but it isn't happening
They are not going to scale another whole production line for a slightly smaller truck unless it's for the EU in the EU
The EU has some big square SUV or what we call 4x4. Range Rover, Mercedes G Wagen, There´s quite a few Ford F-150 imported by US airforce employees.
Hey GM: imho, regarding inability to produce EVs with positive profit margins, you can thank in part Exec salaries, bonuses, and now even higher UAW salaries. So I guess the strategy is now blame ‘lower than expected ev demand’. That’s sadly so funny. While Tesla is making profits and producing even more EVs, in several countries…
Please reduce the price to $70k before tax rebate.
They need to produce a rate greater than 250,000 per year. Now is around 1,000 per week, but started at about 1 per day.
"Not making much money..." Rivian and F are losing mid 4 digits on every sale.
once people learn that CT is unlike any other vehicle on Earth with 48v, SBW & exoskeleton. Moreover, all CT reaction video showed that people love CT when seeing it in real.
I am waiting for $80K 😊
Nice video .can we help u to create a new experience video of Tesla accessories for ur followers ？
It finished last in the towing pull off on Out Of Spec! The Silverado destroyed it!
So where can I buy the Silverado?
@@TailosiveEVOver 300 Silverado's were delivered last month vs 73 Cybertrucks.
@@TroySavaryyea and 2 years from now a total of like 3000 GM trucks will have been delivered over 2 years
@@zandercerlong7238 There have already been far more than 3000 Hummers delivered, and they are meant to be low volume. Why would the Silverado, traditionally GM's best seller, deliver fewer vehicles than the niche Hummer?
You are demonstrating the typical Tesla fan's aversion to both facts and critical thinking.
@@TroySavary GM themselves and their CEO hyped up the hummer like it was going to do numbers of course not as high as Silverado but certainly more than it’s done it’s a failure of a project no other way to frame it. F150 is best selling pickup truck but their EV version is going to be caught and passed in sales numbers by the cybertruck THIS YEAR book it
Counting resales... Maybe.
Straight sales?
No. lol no way.
The Ford F-150 will continue to hold that title (not just best selling truck in America but best selling vehicle overall).
Just talking about EVs here. Ford cut production by 66%
As a Rivian investor, I really want to see them succeed. But as a tech nerd, I am happy to see Tesla thrive with the cyber truck. I saw my first one in person last week and it does look very good
I admire and like Tesla as much as the next EV enthusiasts, and enjoy this channel... However, I always giggle when Tesla enthusiasts covering the EV space throw out the fact that traditional OEMs selling EVs through a dealership network will inevitably have their consumers gouged on price when it comes to low volume high demand EVs, while in the same breath glossing over Tesla's current production volumes + demand, and inevitable price hike related to whatever new EV model they've just launched (as evidenced with the Foundation Series CT)... Right, tomato/tomato 😂😉🤫
It's the law of supply and demand, and all new EVs are impacted by it regardless of OEM and selling strategy. If anything, I blame consumers and their willingness to buy at inflated prices to have the newest thing to flex with. While I'm happy to sit it out until prices stabilize for new things I want/desire, many aren't, thus inflated pricing for the newest hotness. 🤷🏽♂️
It’s a shame Rivian didn’t announce an R2T with a folding midgate. The Cybertruck will forever remain fugly to my eyes. I hope Telo is able to get their truck into production too!
Telo is a scam. Taking money but only have rebders. Just like Alpha.
Even with the cuts ford is still out selling tesla each week, let me know when Tesla hit 4,000 units a week. With a price tag 🏷 of 100,000 demand is going to be low for tesla. Ford is only loosing money 💴 because the Battery 🔋 production lines cost so much and you need a lot of battery built before you pay off the plant plus ford had boosted production of battery plant then fuel price dropped / and interest rates went up two reasons for drop in demand 2025 is update is coming heat pump
Get off your Knees ford is trash
Tesla has a heatpunp now in all their new cars. They also have the octovalve that no one has. Ford can use the octovalve if they are willing to make public their patents (al, of them are obsolete. ICE pattens value is zero, an ev technology is inferior to Tesla. If they are willing to have alisence for FSD they can also do it for the AC system.
Ford sold 24,000 F-150 lightning in 2023 and have a lot of inventory at dealerships. They are hoping to make 1,600 a week in 2024 so that inventory is going to get huge. If Tesla double output per quarter they could reach 90,000 in 2024 and sell all of them.
well they took their time getting set up for production while the others just got them out the door as fast as possible and not find out after the 1st adopters let the rest know how littl range they all have and no were near what was promised. how long it takes to charge, it was bound to be a loss for the companies. also the problem with all electric vehicles. they cant make them cheap enough to get mass to buy them and those that were interested don't want to have to wait along the road to charge them. as there aren't enough places to charge yet and with the no pull through chargeing is another issue. like how do you know who is next to charge. all IMO as those are all reason i realized they electric vehicles over all are not worth me buying. I was initially excited to buy a Cyber truck but now I have no intrest in any electric vehicle. even if I am paying 6 a gallon for fuel. the conveince is worth the cost.
Never waited to charge, you need to turn off the news lol most of us just charge at home. It's way more convenient than gas.
Were you literally paid by the oil industry? You’re using all the same dead ass arguments against EVs. Tesla charging network is more than enough & gets better every day
Tesla ev cars are cheaper than a comparable ICE car in the US. That was done in 2023.
Tesla software plans your charging stops, but if you prefer another it will show how many chargers it has, how many are ocupied, and the time it will take to reach 80% at those chargers.
Yes Tesla has more than enought chargers, so many that they can supply charge to all EV in the US. now and in the future. One tesla charger is installed every hour, and they will reduce that time.
You probably have never intended to purchase an ev. This facts are widely known in the ev comunity, but your statement "those that were interested don't want to have to wait along the road to charge them. as there aren't enough places to charge yet and with the no pull through chargeing is another issue. like how do you know who is next to charge. all IMO as those are all reason i realized they electric vehicles over all are not worth me buying." shows to everyone that you have no idea why every automaker agreed to implement the Tesla NACS
Anyone buying the current must-have thing in its first five years of production is a fool who's easily parted with their hard earned money. Anyone who buys the must-have thing from someone who bought it just to make a quick profit is also completely foolish. My advice, wate 5 years, the product will be much better in quality, the infrastructure will be much better in its development and of course the price will be lower and range should be much better.
But there are people that need a vehicle now, not just in a few years. If you wait 4-5 years more, there will be even newer advances in battery technology, way to assemble an ev, etc.
Sure sure GM ev truck great 👍. But where are you gonna Find those fast chargers ? like one every thousand miles.? How are you going to buy such a truck when the factory can’t make enough or loses money off each one? Also, what’s the deal with their software and reliability??? Hummmm not so simple…
They delivered 73 in February. You really think they will be number one? Delusional.
Dense.
@@Baskinbzier Me?
@@TroySavary they produced 800 last week.. you think these are just sitting around?
@@yalslaus You have a source for 800 produced last week? If there were, then they are sitting around, because it is almost certain that March numbers, when they are rekeased, won't amount to 800 sokd, much less 800 per week.
They started makin 1 per day, now is almost 143 perday in just 1 month of ramping production. They will be #1 in cumulative 1/2 year sales. After that no one will ever be close to Tesla production. Cars are being manufactured one evry 38 minutes. The CT is simpler than a car, but will only be made in a single factory line. The Giga press they bought was able to 750,000 cycles per year, and Tesla have 2 of them installed. in Texas.

Best selling EV Pick up truck in 2024 isn't shocking because, well, Rivian sucks lol (Also Ford clearly also sucks at EV trucks because they have their own set of issues). It's tesla, but doesn't really mean much because production is low relative to other Tesla production... Let's see how this sells in 2-3 years from now once they catch up on production.
Also, it has a ton of BAD press/issues... the rusting issue is definitely a major PR issue IMO. Even if it's solved by wrapping" to fix, the fact that you have to wrap it is just bad design. Hopefully they solve the issue soon if not already.
It’s surface rust not structural rust. Well documented by Out of Spec detailing. All vehicles have surface rust, it wipes off
@@TailosiveEV Man… paying $100K and seeing ANY kind of rust so quickly would freak anyone out lol - but I’m sure they will solve it soon
It’s just to pricy
Why? Average full size ice pickup truck sold in 2023 was over 63k, ev trucks are 78k on average.
Imo they need a trim similar to the lightning flash around 75k&eligible for the full $7,500 tax credit, that would be the $ maker trim.
Leave the cyberbeast tri motor in the stratosphere and concentrate on the lower spec&price trims to hit 200k+in sales. 👍🏻😎

@@SquidwardTortallini so once you get your email to order your CT you have to put $1000 down to reserve and then you’ll get assigned a VIN to your truck and I did just that but I having second thoughts now. I’m having a hard time justifying the price
It’s only pricey cause demand is super high
@@TailosiveEVIf demand is so high, why are they pulling demand lever gimmicks like trying to make you feel special by spendingva few referral points. It's a FOMO tactic to get people to buy now.
The Cybertruck will sell well until it suddenly won't sell. Then the prices will have to come way down, or cut production.
At the flip of a switch they can drop the price about $30K
Of course they are good to drop the price they have already said as much that’s what the base model is for anyway. They will get close to the original base price announce in 2019(INFLATION ADJUSTED)

you dont know crap about what a work truck is. People who need work truck are Not buying the base model F150. People who do heavy hual and towing are not buying F150s, Ram 1500s, etc. They are buying F250, Ram 2500 and up.
oh someone is using the cybertruck for work. Yeah not for towing and hauling a lot.
like your channel
you seem to be neutral and not focussing on one brand
Are these 100 dollar orders, or ACTUAL purchases? Trying to say the 2 are the same = is stupid, bordering on bald-faced lying !
Sales are what they have delivered to customers. Currently all deliveries are foundation models which cost $100,000-120,000. When foundation orders cease they will mainly sell the 4WD which after tax credit is $72,500.. By mid next years they will be selling the RWD base model for $52,500. Tesla is very good at cutting production costs so end of 2025 base model could be going for $45,000 and still making a profit. By 2026 they will be churning out 5,000 a week and that will cut into Ford and GM profits. The Silverado does look good and has a huge battery but GM has deferred production. I don´t think GM can afford to sell to many Silverado EV.
@@robertwoodhouse-bm7kt I'm just looking at unpaid liabilities. (what are they claiming on their books). People with "reservations" have only put down 100 dollars. People who have been told they need to finance the rest of the order (or buy up-front), I would consider 'ORDERS'.
Reservations mean little to nothing, if it's only 100 dollars. Tesla (Elon), has had a history of overstating actual sales, THEN coming up with something new to invest in, to pay for the previous shortfall.
The Silverado looks fantastic, but I don't think its going to make it to production.
yep, cause Ford gave up on Lightning and Rivian is going bankrupt. By default, Tesla wins.
Good vid
Gm is full of crap. They bullshit specs and prices
There was alot of hype created which raised expectations. Elon has underdelivered what was represented over four years ago. Used gimmicks to create hype like the whole quarter mile gimmick with the sports car. Once enough of them get out there you'll see reality set in and sales level or drop.
Given they’re cranking them out and selling each one for six figures I doubt sales will go down. People will forget the unveiling promised just like they did for the model y
