Overview

  • Tesla delivered just 4,306 Cybertrucks in Q2 2025, down 50.8% from 8,755 units a year earlier.
  • The Cybertruck ranked third in U.S. electric pickup sales behind Ford’s F-150 Lightning (5,842 units) and the GMC Hummer EV (4,508 units).
  • Tesla’s goal of producing 250,000 Cybertrucks by 2025 now faces a shortfall exceeding 90%.
  • Since its November 2023 launch, the Cybertruck has been hit by eight recalls and two federal safety investigations.
  • Starting prices above $72,000 coupled with ongoing delivery delays have driven up unsold inventory and dampened buyer interest.
