Demand for the angular electric pickup has continued to falter in the first quarter, making room for a new king.
The Tesla Cybertruck has lost the top spot on the list of best-selling electric pickup trucks in the United States. After finishing 2024 as a best-seller, Tesla’s only pickup has fallen to second place in the first quarter of this year.
After the first three months, the Cybertruck had amassed 7,126 registrations. The Ford F-150 Lightning overtook it with 7,913 registrations, according to the most recent data from S&P Global Mobility. The Chevrolet Silverado EV finished the first quarter in third place, followed by the GMC Sierra EV, Rivian R1T and GMC Hummer EV.
Is the lighting using Android Automotive yet? (not to be confused with Android auto)
No, despite Ford’s claims, I don’t expect it to until the next gen F150s across the board make the switch.
Totally agree. That’s how most auto manufacturers roll. OTA updates are for maps and really critical bugs that could get them sued.
If your head unit is constantly crashing while you pick a song, they’ll let that slide.
I don’t know tbh. A search says they unveiled it for 2024. My lightning was a 2023.
Yeah, I think this vehicle is still Sync 4. Which, as I recall, is BlackBerry’s QNX operating system. (Yeah, I know.)
Ford is following Volvo and some other automakers and is migrating to Android Automotive because their existing OS is dog shit and is updated at a glacial pace.
