The Tesla Cybertruck has always been controversial due to its jarring appearance and long list of recalls. As sales figures show, the Cybertruck has flopped so badly that outlets like Bloomberg have suggested that it's the Ford Edsel of the EV era. The automaker claimed the Edsel would sell 200,000 units in its first year, but it struggled to pass the 50,000-unit mark in 1958. Those sales plunged almost 50% in 2025, with 20,237 units sold — and even those numbers were allegedly inflated by Musk's SpaceX purchasing 1,279 Cybertrucks. In 2026, data provided to Bloomberg reveals there were only 7,133 new Cybertruck registrations in the United States as of May.
