For the umpteenth time on Thursday, he&nbsp;touted its virtues on X, the social-media platform he owns. This time around, he called the Cybertruck an<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1996484482514428311">&nbsp;"incredible vehicle"</a> and the "best-ever from Tesla."Has the vehicle done well to earn the rave reviews? Its contribution to Tesla's sales volume has been so insignificant that Tesla has chosen not to break it down, even two years after its commercial rollout. The company continues to club it under "Other Models," which together accounted for 3.3% of the third-quarter deliveries reported in October.&nbsp;Before assessing the Cybertruck's impact, or lack thereof, on Tesla and its stock, it's worth revisiting how the vehicle came to be.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Hype That Fizzled</h2>The earliest memory many Cybertruck fans share is of chief designer Franz von Holzhausen hurling a metal ball at its "armor glass" in 2019 to prove its toughness — only for the window to crack in a now-infamous viral moment.The Cybertruck saw the light of day only four years after Musk announced it. The first production versions rolled out from Giga Texas and were handed out to customers on Nov. 30, 2023. Ford's F-150 Lightning pickup truck, GMC Hummer, Chevrolet Silverado, Lordstown's Endurance, and Rivian's R1T were&nbsp;already on sale by then.&nbsp;Endurance's production has since stopped amid the startup's manufacturing woes, which led to a Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing in 2023. Rumor has it that Ford is planning to pull the plug on its F-150 Lightning due to mounting losses at its EV business.When the Cybertruck launched, it came in four variants: a single-motor rear-wheel-drive (RWD) model, a dual-motor all-wheel-drive (AWD) version, a tri-motor 'Cyberbeast' performance model, and a foundation-series launch edition.While Musk once touted the Cybertruck as a 250,000-unit-per-year opportunity, third-party sales estimates show it hasn't come anywhere close to that.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:600/371;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Tesla_s_Cybertruck_Sales_in_units_png_1bf031d6ed.webp" alt="Tesla's Cybertruck Sales (in units).png" width="600" height="371"></figure>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Data sourced from Shop4Tesla and Tesla Fox&nbsp;<h2 class="st-heading-2">TSLA Stock Tepid</h2><a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/TSLA">Tesla's stock</a> languished for about a year after the Cybertruck launch, lagging the broader market.
