"Tesla only sold 5,385 Cybertrucks in the third quarter, down 63 percent compared to the same period in 2024, when the automaker delivered over 14,000. The company has sold a little more than 16,000 Cybertrucks so far in 2025 - a far cry from the 250,000 that Elon Musk once predicted would be sold annually. Tesla is now expected to deliver around 20,000 Cybertrucks this year, a steep drop from the estimated 50,000 sold in 2024."
"The third quarter was an otherwise banger for EV sales, with a total of 438,487 units sold. That's up 40.7 percent from the previous quarter and higher by 29.6 percent year over year. Shoppers rushed to snatch up available EVs before the expiration of the $7,500 tax credit on September 30th. Sales are expected to drop dramatically in the fourth quarter - which could make the Cybertruck's situation even worse."
"Other electric trucks haven't fared as poorly as the Cybertruck. The Rivian R1T is up 13 percent this quarter year over year, while the Ford F-150 Lightning is up 39.7 percent, and GMC's Hummer EV has increased sales 21.9 percent and Sierra EV by over 771 percent. And then there was the news that the families of two young people killed in a fiery Cybertruck crash are suing Tesla over faulty door handles they claim impeded their loved ones' escape."
Cybertruck deliveries have dropped sharply, with only 5,385 sold in Q3, down 63% year-over-year, and roughly 16,000 sold so far in 2025 versus earlier predictions of 250,000 annually. Tesla is expected to deliver about 20,000 Cybertrucks this year, down from an estimated 50,000 in 2024. Overall EV sales surged in Q3 to 438,487 units as buyers rushed to claim a $7,500 tax credit before it expired, boosting Model 3 and Y demand. Competing electric trucks saw gains, while a lawsuit over alleged faulty Cybertruck door handles and other issues have compounded the vehicle's struggles.
