It increases exponentially, but it’s always very slow at first. So I wouldn’t put too much thought into the start of production. It’s kind of when volume production actually happens, and that’s next year,” Musk said. Tesla is guiding for 1.8 million vehicles to be delivered in 2023, but has not broken out how many of the units counted could be Cybertrucks. Tesla has one of the top 10 bestselling vehicles in the U.S. in 2022, with the Tesla Model Y ranking sixth with 252,000 units. The top three bestselling vehicles in the U.S. in 2022 were pickup trucks, and five of the top 10 bestselling vehicles were pickup trucks. The F-Series from Ford topped the U.S. bestselling list for the 41st straight year. Now that the Cybertruck has ranked second as the model which truck drivers were most interested in, it could signal anticipated demand for the Tesla vehicle. The results from the poll about the Cybertruck being a real truck could impact sales, but also might not matter in the long run.
