What kind of electric pickup truck are Americans driving? Cyberturck has more registrations than Rivian
[CNMO technology news] According to the data of S&P Global Mobility (S&P Global Mobility/Automobiles), although it only sold for about half a year, Tesla Cybertruck beat Rivian R1T in the US registration contest in March. R1T is the first mass-produced all electric pickup truck delivered in the United States, and the first batch of customers will start in the second half of 2021.
Nevertheless, the Ford F-150 Lightning, delivered in 2022, is still the king of the American electric pickup market.
According to S&P Global Mobility, 2893 new F-150 Lightning, 1158 Cybertrucks and 548 R1Ts were registered in the United States in March. The number of Lightning has nearly tripled year on year, while the number of R1T has decreased by 65% compared with March 2023.
Meanwhile, Chevrolet Silverado EV registered 319 vehicles and GMC Hummer EV pickup truck registered 192 vehicles in March.
In the first quarter, Ford Electric F-150 registered 8589 vehicles (up 51% year on year), Cybertruck 1791 vehicles and R1T 1786 vehicles (down 56% year on year). The number of Silverado EVs registered in the first quarter of 2024 is 803.
The delivery of Tesla Cybertruck will begin in November 2023, but neither Tesla nor Rivian has separately released the sales data of their pickup trucks, so the registration data is the second best data to measure consumer interest.
Tom Libby, deputy director of S&P Global Mobility, said: "In the fourth month after Cyberrut was launched, the number of registered vehicles exceeded 1000, more than two to one higher than the sales of R1T." To be frank, I was a little surprised. Cyberrut is very, very unique, and it is interesting that it can complete this type of sales so quickly. "
On the long and delayed mass production of Cybertruck, Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, once publicly said that the number of bookings of this angular electric pickup truck had reached 1 million. Every booker must pay a deposit of $100. Therefore, if Musk's statement is true, the American automobile manufacturer (and AI company) can earn $100 million from bookings alone.
