Cybertruck Q1 2025 Deliveries (Lowest to Date) [⚠️ ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS]

[REM]

FYI, if you set someone to "ignore" then they cannot see your posts, either, so they are effectively "blocked". This makes sense, otherwise we'd have have weird one-way conversations with "why the hell won't Gus ever respond to me!" problems lol.

There's also an option to see such posts as "redacted", as opposed to hiding them completely:

I personally don't have anyone blocked. Somehow I possess sufficient self-restraint to just "let it go" when I peruse a troublesome post. Most of the time, anyway hahahaha

Oh, thanks for the heads up fam! Now I can finally get rid of my arch nemesis

But here’s the man himself explaining why he more “adventurous colleagues” are wrong in his opinion:

Ok, had a chance to watch the video. Didn't really have anything groundbreaking in there, but I was particularly interested in this part:

Where he goes on to explain that our brains intake about 2MBs through the optic nerve (I think that number is FAR too low, as our eyes have way higher resolving power than that.) Not a super hard disagreement, I just think he may have oversimplified; perhaps for the general audience.

But he goes on to say that we will never be able to reach any human level Ai by training on text alone, and I fully agree with him. I just happen to think we (humans) have a hard time working with exponential growth, and it's a bit silly to say "there's absolutely no way in hell it will happen in 2 years time". It is definitely possible to happen almost over night.

I happen to agree with him about the timeline, but I'm not willing to say "absolutely no way". We are feeding these neural nets exponentially growing sets of data, and some of them are crawling the entire internet just eating whatever it can find (not to say that is a winning strategy at all, but it is interesting, and for that I'll draw a parallel to Avengers: Age of Ultron).

What I find most encouraging is that Dojo has been feeding on real world visual data for years and turning it into a 3D emulationed playback of real scenarios. Basically the engineers are building a video game, and the Ai model is playing it. It can learn from curated input, much like we teach children not to do certain things. If the model sees someone running a red light, we can intentionally tell it "No-no!" and slapt their hand lol. Also, they allow the model to come to conclusions on its own. Not sure if you have noticed, but your truck probably slipstreams when following a line of cars on the freeway.

Why would it do that? Because it's seen millions of people do it. And we (humans) do it, mainly because we are monkey-see-monkey-do. Have you ever seen the social experiments where people start queueing up for nothing at all, and random people join them? If you pay careful attention, I bet you will find at minimum a few dozen things that FSD does regularly that make you go: "hmm, I bet it does that because most human drivers also do that". And it may or may not necessarily be the most "correct" thing to do.

Take the rolling stop, for instance. NHTSA forced them to put in hard stops because the model noticed that a very high percentage of drivers never come to a full and complete stop ?‍.

Lots of very interesting stuff. I love the FSD program. I still think it's an absolute miracle that we are even allowed to not only use it, but contribute to its maturation. Especially with our nanny-state bureaucracy.

THANKS!!! I like to think that even though this is outside of my bailiwick, I can still ID BS, and none of this seemed like BS. So, I’m happy to hear your analysis!

Same thing sans inflation… everyone in the future will love the CT

The DeLorean DMC-12 was produced and sold between 1981 and 1983, with the following approximate annual sales figures in the United States:

• 1981: 3,012 units sold
• 1982: 2,660 units sold
• 1983: 1,009 units sold

These figures indicate a declining sales trend year over year during its brief production run. Several factors contributed to this pattern:

• Initial Demand and Overproduction: The DeLorean experienced initial enthusiasm, leading to high production levels. However, this enthusiasm waned quickly, resulting in an oversupply of unsold vehicles.
• Economic Conditions: The early 1980s recession and rising interest rates negatively impacted consumer spending on luxury items like sports cars.
• Company Challenges: Financial difficulties and legal issues faced by the DeLorean Motor Company further hindered sales and production continuity.

Visualizing this data with a sales curve would show a peak in 1981, followed by a steady decline in 1982 and a sharp drop in 1983, reflecting the challenges the company faced during its short-lived production period.

Completely different situation than the DeLorean.

Yes, ketamine is distinctly different from cocaine. Oh, you probably meant something else. ?

I never knew what a DeLorean was back then. First one I ever saw was when I watched Back to the Future when I was a kid. I thought it was invented for the movie haha

I bet they could have moved way more of them if they had the internet then.

And if the CT happens to follow the same fate, everyone that holds onto it will be in the same boat as someone with a DeLorean. A machine way ahead of its time and went severely under appreciated and misunderstood.

Yes, volume isn’t everything!!!


Top 10 Awesome Cars with Production Under 50,000Hey gearheads, here’s my list of the coolest cars with production numbers below 50,000—rarity meets badassery. No strict ranking, just pure awesomeness:

1. DeLorean DMC-12 (~9,000) - Gull-wing icon from Back to the Future.
2. Porsche 959 (337) - ‘80s tech beast, 197 mph top speed.
3. Lamborghini Miura (764) - The OG supercar, V12 stunner.
4. Ferrari F40 (1,311) - Enzo’s raw, 200+ mph masterpiece.
5. McLaren F1 (106) - Central seat, 240 mph legend.
6. Bugatti EB110 (139) - Quad-turbo ‘90s sleeper, 212 mph.
7. Dodge Viper RT/10 (~12,000) - V10 monster, no mercy.
8. Jaguar XJ220 (282) - Sleek, 217 mph Brit supercar.
9. Shelby Cobra 427 (~1,000) - Insane V8 power in a tiny shell.
10. Toyota 2000GT (351) - Japan’s Bond-car beauty.

All under 50k built, most way lower.

This comparison is ridiculous lol

1. Delorean popularity now and value comes from being popular in a movie

2-6, 8. All were extremely expensive during their time hence their rarity and current value now.

7, 9. Are special because of the powertrain and for the cobra the powertrain in the small body as you mentioned.

10. Toyota themselves limited production to 337.


The cybertruck has nothing special about it apart from its unique design. Steer by wire will become more common, electric trucks will be the norm in the future.

Imo the cybertruck will join the Pontiac aztek, Chrysler prowler, Chevy HHR category, not the legendary cars you listed.

Sure, the Cybertruck might not be a museum piece yet, but it’s already turning heads and breaking molds while those ‘legends’ were still figuring out carburetors.

Give it a decade—when electric trucks dominate and steer-by-wire is standard, people might just look back and say Tesla started the revolution.

Aztek? Prowler? Those were footnotes; Cybertruck’s writing a chapter.

That's like saying people looked back on the first car with ABS, fuel injection, seat belts, air suspension and say they started a revolution. I bet you can't name which cars first came with those features.

The prowler turned heads and broke molds.

It will go down in history as a very controversial vehicle that will be remembered and being Tesla first pick up truck. However, imo it won't holds its value or appreciate in value like actual legendary vehicles.

All the vehicles you listed are extremely rare too, even compared to the cybertruck, they had a fraction of the production numbers.

 

[NXTruck]

Firsts don’t always win, true—ABS and fuel injection didn’t make the Mercedes 770 or DeSoto immortal.

But the Cybertruck’s not just a tech demo; it’s a cultural lightning rod with a production run that’s already outpacing some of those ‘legends’ in a single year. The Prowler broke molds but ended up a niche flex; Cybertruck’s polarizing vibe and Tesla’s cult following could keep it relevant long after the Aztek’s landfill era.

Rarity drives value for old icons, but disruption drives legacy—Cybertruck’s betting on the latter, and it’s too early to call it a bust.

Don't forget the hookers and blow.

 

[Startreknerd]

For context, all Tesla deliveries are trending down, this is not just about the Cybertruck. Tesla's total 1Q delivery numbers for recent years:

1Q 2022: 310,048
1Q 2023: 422,875
1Q 2024: 386,810
1Q 2025: 336,681

Basically, peak Tesla was in 2023. Tesla sales dropped in 2024, and they are still dropping as of 1Q 2025.

Lightning and Rivian are down 7% and 36% respectively.

Ford SUVs in general are down 11%.

Recession is loading, please stand by ...
