Tesla’s Cybertruck flop is historic. The brand collapse is even worse (www.dailykos.com)

So how many Cybertrucks did Tesla actually sell?

A March recall—in which Cybertruck panels were literally falling off due to faulty glue—betrayed the number: 46,096 sold in the 14 months since deliveries began. That’s less than 3,300 per month.

"Full size". For anyone actually needing to haul shit in the bed it's missing ~6 cubic feet of space from the smallest bed size of an F-150 and around 30 cubic feet of usable bed space from a long bed Silverado. It's also missing about 2000lbs of towing capacity. The Lightning has slightly less towing capacity but more room in the bed for your stuff.

These were never going to be used for the same thing a working truck would be used for. It was going to be another big ass parking lot princess and it was always going to take up as much or more room than a full size truck for less usability.

Why do it and the Lightning have such lousy towing capacity? I would think electric motors would be torquey as hell.

Not sure but I pulled a box truck out of a ditch yesterday with my lightning and it DEF had the torque to pull that thing. Not pictured, the trailer I had to unhook that was behind said box truck.

I tow with mine all the time, admittedly not at significant long haul distances, usually around 10-30 miles. It has never been super rough on battery when towing either.
