Tesla Cybertruck surrenders its title as the best-selling electric truck.
Here’s a revised version of your content with the requested changes:
That pile of unsold Cybertrucks in a Tesla parking lot? It's getting bigger by the day. Despite its controversial styling and the fact that it gets recalled nearly every other month, the Tesla Cybertruck was still the best-selling fully electric pick-up truck in America — until now. According to data from S&P Global Mobility, in the first three months of 2025, there were 7,126 Cybertruck registrations in the U.S. This placed it in second position, behind Ford's F-150 Lightning which had 7,913 registrations. Following closely were the Chevrolet Silverado EV, GMC Sierra EV, Rivian R1T, and the GMC Hummer EV.
Tesla doesn't officially share sales figures for each model. Another source reports that Ford sold 7,181 F-150 Lightning units in Q1 2025, which remains ahead of the Cybertruck.
Wait, you're saying that this is not the best-selling EV truck in the U.S.? How is that even possible?

The numbers look even worse for Tesla when compared to the last quarter of 2024, when the Cybertruck had 12,991 registrations. In the quarter before that, Tesla sold 16,692 Cybertrucks, indicating that sales have now been on the decline for two consecutive quarters. Tesla recently introduced a more affordable Long Range model; whether that will be enough to increase sales remains to be seen. While Ford can celebrate this small victory, the F-150 Lightning sales figures aren't overly impressive given that the company sold 183,202 F-series trucks in total during the first quarter of 2025. It seems that electric pick-up trucks aren't as lucrative as manufacturers once thought, especially if the CEO continues to antagonize potential customers. The Cybertruck is only available in the U.S., but Tesla sales are declining globally as well. The company is hoping that a redesigned Model Y — its best-selling model — will improve the situation, but so far the signs are not encouraging.
