Tesla announced another recall for its Cybertruck, its fourth since its release in late last year, but within the recall notice is an interesting nugget on how many Cybertrucks are actually out in the wild.

The NHTSA recall notice contains a line saying how many Tesla Cybertrucks were affected by the recall. And we know that its “all of them”, therefore the number listed is exactly the count of total Tesla Cybertrucks ever sold.

Digging through the numbers also reveals estimated monthly delivery figures. Tesla began low-volume production of the Cybertruck at Giga Austin in late November of last year, and a prior recall notice from Tesla revealed that it delivered 1,163 vehicles in December. That leaves 10,525 vehicles or thereabouts produced by Tesla in 2024, giving Tesla an average monthly delivery rate of 1,754 Cybertrucks, with five days left in June.

    11,688 trucks. Maybe 23,500 by EOY present speed. Elon says they can go faster, but he says a lot of things, so who knows.

    With these and the warranty repairs I bet they’re not even starting to earn back the development costs yet.

    Wouldn’t be surprised if they’re at a loss so far.
