Tesla Cybertruck Loses Sales Lead to Ford. It Was Always Going to Happen

  • In the first quarter of 2025 in the U.S., the Ford F-150 Lightning overtook Tesla Cybertruck as the best-selling electric pickup truck.
  • This shift followed Tesla’s initial Cybertruck deliveries starting in late November 2023, with growing sales that peaked but then declined by late 2024.
  • Ford's CEO Jim Farley explained customers demand electric pickups that can tow, go off-road, and take long trips, requiring large expensive batteries.
  • According to recent figures, the Ford F-150 Lightning recorded 7,913 registrations in the first quarter of 2025, surpassing the Tesla Cybertruck, which had 7,126, with Ford reclaiming the top spot in March.
  • The change suggests electric pickup buyers prefer traditional models like the F-150 Lightning, while Tesla faces inventory challenges and may rely on discounts to sustain sales.
