Elon Musk bet big on the Cybertruck. It didn’t emerge from focus groups, mimic successful truck models, or even resemble Tesla’s own—at the time—successful S, X, 3, and Y lines. It was an ...

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.

      Of course it came out years late at double the price and without some of the features
