Ford reached out at the moment with some fascinating information. The Ford F-150 Lightning is the most effective promoting electrical pickup truck in america once more. That’s for each the month of Could and throughout all time. Cumulatively, the F-150 Lightning has bought much more models than the #2 Rivian R1T and the #3 Tesla Cybertruck. In Could, in the meantime, the F-150 Lightning very narrowly outsold the Cybertruck.
Is that this going to be the story for a very long time to come back? Did all of these Cybertruck reservations evaporate to by no means return once more? Is the Cybertruck affected by Elon Musk’s political extremism? Or will the Cybertruck surge forward sooner or later if Tesla brings down the beginning value and/or provides vary? Properly, for now, I’ve to suppose the Cybertruck isn’t what most truck consumers need and the F-150 Lightning will indefinitely maintain the lead within the electrical pickup truck market. We will see. Within the meantime, how about some numbers?
As we will see there, the F-150 Lightning has greater than 84,000 gross sales to date, about 35,000 greater than both the Rivian R1T or Tesla Cybertruck! Within the month of Could, the Ford F-150 Lightning eked out the win, with 10,829 gross sales in comparison with the Tesla Cybertruck’s 10,087.
Admittedly, I don’t know so much concerning the knowledge supply right here. It’s notoriously onerous to get legitimate US gross sales knowledge for Tesla, particularly on a month-to-month foundation and much more particularly proper after the month ends. However Motor Intelligence appears to cost a reasonably penny for its experiences, and Ford despatched over the desk above and the information.
We’ll see what comes out for Q2 after we get extra knowledge. In the intervening time, although, the Ford F-150 Lightning is king. And it’s certainly an excellent electrical truck.
