in that video around 19 minutes in they're predicting CTs will be ~70k by end of year.
Tesla is recalling all cybertrucks for the windshield wiper motor. Total number is 11,688. I personally was pessimistic about the cybertruck sales number but even I thought it would have been higher after 7 months of being on sale. No way Tesla sells close to 70k by end of the year.

Standing up a new product line is always going to be rocky. I doubt the 70K number too, but the production ramp will be more telling than units sold to date

well, here's a ramp it might be following:
month / sales
1 / 200
2 / 400
3 / 800
4 / 1600
5 / 3200
6 / 6400

this is a bit like the rice on the chess board. by end of year, they could have shipped 70k easy.

The 70K mentioned is a prediction of the price.

true but blaze was referring to unlikeliness of volume i believe based on how 'few' are being recalled.

as for price, i wouldn't be surprised if used CT's at least will be available for $70K at year end.

My bad, didn't realize the 70k number was price. Seems like a good guess if the foundation series ends...wouldn't be shocked if it's even lower. Non foundation dual motor is approximately 80k? I can see many people choosing to go new with a 10k delta.
