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.

    Why are you expecting an F-150 to have high towing capacity? It’s the smallest “full size” pickup Ford sells. ICE or EV, the frame, brakes and suspension isn’t designed for high towing.

    EV is torquey as hell, but I thought the main complaint about the Lighting was the towing range, which again, if you’re doing real towing on the regular, you should get something a little bigger, if for no other reason then the safety of other people on the road.

    And honestly, I think Ford could have saved the Lighting lineup by offering a generator unit that could sit in the bed and keep the batteries charged for long hauls. A sort of adhoc Edison Motors style hybrid.
