        That’s only the rear wheel drive ones. There are still plenty of other idiots who were dumb enough to put down even more money for the prior more expensive variants.

          Yes kind of, but that’s not the same as being public, but a report based on 3rd party information.

          The official Tesla Cybertruck numbers are bunched together with Model S and Model X.
          Which is also why the very poor sales of the cheaper model is news.

            Didn’t they also run some giant sales scam in Canada to fraudulently claim tax credits for fake EV sales? Where they were claiming dealerships were selling like 200 cars a day?

              Yes indeed they did, and Tesla came under investigation and the tax deductions were withdrawn as fraudulent.
              I am not aware of the result of the investigation, but I bet Tesla would have advertised it if they were cleared.
