The Tesla Cybertruck gets a lot of hate for its polarizing design and even more polarizing creator. However, the Cybertruck also appears to be extremely popular, more popular than all the other electric trucks on the market, and Elon Musk may end up laughing all the way to the bank. Tesla’s Cybertruck registrations in July almost match overall EV truck registrations in July, suggesting strong demand for the stainless steel low-poly truck, according to data from S&P Global Mobility as reported by Automotive News. Tesla’s overall vehicle sales also rose in July thanks to a boost from the Cybertruck. Tesla delivered 5,175 Cybertrucks in July, compared to a combined 5,546 registrations of every non-Tesla electric truck, which includes the...

Business Possible ad Read on The Verge ReviewsGoogle has won an appeal against a €1.5 billion competition fine from the European Commission in a victory for the Big Tech group as it comes under growing scrutiny from Brussels regulators.
