Tesla Sold 38,965 Cybertrucks In 2024 To Beat The Ford Lightning As Top Electric Pickup
The Tesla Cybertuck was the best selling electric pickup in the U.S. last year, but things might not be looking great as it heads into 2025.
Tesla doesn’t report the exact sales of its models in the U.S., but the Cox Automotive Electric Vehicle Sales Report said that it delivered 38,965 to customers during the year.
That was enough to beat the Ford F-150 Lightning‘s 33,510 deliveries to take the top spot on the sales charts, but Cybertruck deliveries slowed down significantly at the end of the year.
Tesla delivered 16,692 in the third quarter of 2024, but just 12,991 in the last three months of the year.

The smaller Rivian R1T was a distant third in the truck race with 11,085 delivered.
Tesla closed the year with a number of adjustments to Cybertruck production and pricing updates that appeared to be demand-related, but the company never commented on them.

The new year did bring the Cybertruck eligibility for the $7,500 federal electric vehicle tax credit, but only on examples price below $80,000.
