Tesla has delivered 46,000 Cybertrucks in the United States since production began in late 2023.
However, projections indicate a significant drop in future deliveries, with estimates of only 7,000 to 8,000 units to be delivered in the first quarter of 2025.
This marks a decrease from the 10,000 to 12,000 deliveries in the previous two quarters, raising concerns about the vehicle’s market demand rather than production capabilities.

Despite valuable incentives like a $7,500 federal tax credit and a new leasing program, the waning demand for the Cybertruck suggests potential issues with consumer interest.
Tesla’s Gigafactory Texas boasts a robust production capacity of 250,000 units annually, with optimistic sales projections aiming for 500,000 units per year. Yet, the company is struggling to maintain sales rates at 40,000 units annually, triggering alarms about the future viability of the Cybertruck.
A potentially game-changing addition to the lineup is the Cybertruck RWD, set to launch later this year at an expected starting price of $61,000. However, initial demand for this model appears tepid, casting doubt on its ability to significantly boost overall Cybertruck sales.
Compounding the situation, Tesla recently announced a recall of all Cybertrucks manufactured up until last month, further complicating the model’s trajectory.
As the company navigates these rocky waters, questions arise regarding management’s performance. Tesla has only rolled out one new vehicle in the last five years—the Cybertruck—which has yet to achieve the anticipated success. Investors and fans of CEO Elon Musk are starting to acknowledge these growing concerns as warning signs that cannot be ignored.
