Overview

  • Tesla has reduced Cybertruck production targets and thinned out production teams at its Texas factory, with some lines operating at a fraction of capacity.
  • Since January, staff have been reassigned from Cybertruck assembly to Model Y production as part of broader workforce shifts.
  • First-quarter 2025 Cybertruck deliveries dropped to 6,406 units, half of the previous quarter's total, according to Cox Automotive.
  • A mid-March recall by the NHTSA affected over 46,000 Cybertrucks due to exterior panel defects, impacting nearly all units delivered to date.
  • Cybertruck production output recently hit its lowest level in four quarters, falling short of Tesla's initial projections of up to 250,000 annual sales.
