Demand for the angular electric pickup has continued to falter in the first quarter, making room for a new king.
The Tesla Cybertruck has lost the top spot on the list of best-selling electric pickup trucks in the United States. After finishing 2024 as a best-seller, Tesla’s only pickup has fallen to second place in the first quarter of this year.
After the first three months, the Cybertruck had amassed 7,126 registrations. The Ford F-150 Lightning overtook it with 7,913 registrations, according to the most recent data from S&P Global Mobility. The Chevrolet Silverado EV finished the first quarter in third place, followed by the GMC Sierra EV, Rivian R1T and GMC Hummer EV.
I’m in more or less the same boat, so I’m waiting to see if the Slate truck lives up to the expectations. On paper it seems like a great solution: under 30K, small electric customizable pickup. It remains to be seen if Slate can actually deliver. Hopefully that question is answered before my current vehicle breaks down to the point I can’t fix it anymore.
