Tesla’s Cybertruck has emerged as a frontrunner in the luxury electric vehicle market in the United States, surpassing expectations with over 3,200 units sold in June, according to data from Kelley Blue Book. The average transaction price for these vehicles stood at $112,696, reflecting strong consumer demand in the high-end segment.
The exact sales figures for the Cybertruck have been closely guarded by Tesla, leading to some ambiguity in industry reports. Kelley Blue Book’s insights provide a positive outlook for Tesla investors, despite the lack of precise delivery numbers from the automaker.
Tesla recently faced scrutiny over a safety recall affecting 11,688 Cybertruck units, though it remains unclear how many of these vehicles have been delivered to customers or are still in production pipelines.
