Grabthar comments on It’s Looking Like the Cybertruck Is the Biggest Flop in Automotive History

And? The CT sold more than that in 2024 alone. I am confused as to what point you are trying to make here.

You: I doubt Hyundai sold 37,000 Ioniq 6s in the US throughout its entire production run.

Me: They sold a bit more than 36,000 in just the US.

You: I don't know what your point is.

You questioned a fact another person said, and now you are confused when someone links you the data to show the fact?

Also, the Ioniq 6 has sold around 96k worldwide. According to your numbers, Cybertruck has sold around 58k + 2026 sales (around 9k). While I can't find stated sales goals for the Ioniq 6, Elon was talking about selling 250k Cybertrucks per year. Elon talked about building a manufacturing throughput of 2500 cars per week (125,000/year) and currently achieving 1300 cars per week (65k/year). Tesla bought roughly 2 percent of all Cybertrucks purchased.

I see. That person refuted the claim that the CT was outselling the Ioniq 6 as I claimed. But from every source I see, CT sold about 70K and Ioniq 6 about half that, hence my original post claiming such. He may be confused and was pulling annual US sales numbers about the Ioniq 5, which sells about 30-35K models per year. But as per my original post and the article, this is about car sales in the US only and defines US market flops in terms of sales numbers, with no other metric considered. The Ioniq 6 was outsold by the CT and had more time on the market, which makes it arguably worse.
