Of course it's only the rear wheel drive ones, that's what this is all about?!
Still it's lame to only sell 173 of a cheaper version, the sales on day 1 should have been higher than that.
Not so much, sales of Cybertruck have been plummeting, already last year they dropped 48%. And this year will probably be worse.

That 48% loss is allegedly the biggest drop of any EV in 2025. And that is despite Musk bought up Cybertrucks himself through SpaceX. Boosting sales by more than 1300 Cybertrucks in the 4th quarter alone!
Meaning that Musk bought 20% of the Cybertrucks sold in Q4 2025 himself. 🤣 🤣 🤣
