Tesla Cybertruck Sales Plummet in Q1 2025 as Challenges Mount

Sales fell by more than half compared to late 2024, driven by recalls, quality issues, and Elon Musk's divisive focus on DOGE and politics.

Tesla delivered only 6,406 Cybertrucks in Q1 2025, a sharp decline from 12,991 units in Q4 2024, according to Cox Automotive data.
The Cybertruck has lost its competitive edge, with Ford’s F-150 Lightning outselling it in Q1 2025 by over 700 units.
Safety recalls, quality complaints, and high production costs have significantly hampered the Cybertruck's performance in the market.
Elon Musk’s political involvement and focus on DOGE have alienated key consumer demographics, further eroding Tesla’s brand appeal.
External economic pressures, including Trump’s tariffs on imported auto parts, are compounding Tesla’s struggles with rising costs and declining demand.
