Tesla Cybertruck Gross sales Had been Minimize In Half In 2025, Worse Than Any Different EV

Because you all prepared learn Jalopnik, and are due to this fact folks of immense style, you will not be shocked to realized that Tesla Cybertruck gross sales completely cratered in 2025 — falling more durable than some other EV within the U.S. based mostly on quantity. In fact, it was a bizarre yr for electrical automobiles throughout, however a fall off like this for a automobile in its second full mannequin yr is extraordinarily uncommon.

In 2024 — the Cybertruck’s first full mannequin yr — Tesla managed to dupe about 39,000 chuds into pondering they wanted a Cybertruck of their lives. Nevertheless, the Austin, Texas-based automaker wasn’t practically as profitable in 2025, shifting simply 20,200 of the large chrome steel vans all year long, in keeping with knowledge from Cox Automotive reported by InsideEVs. That almost 19,000-vehicle delta is definitely the biggest gross sales drop of any EV on sale within the U.S., and that features automobiles that had been canceled partway by way of the yr. It is also a far cry from the 250,000 Cybertruck CEO Elon Musk stated the corporate would produce yearly beginning in 2025. Whereas some EVs had greater share drops in gross sales, no EV noticed an even bigger drop in precise gross sales numbers.

From the place I am sitting, it kind of looks as if everybody who needed a Cybertruck most likely purchased one again in 2024, and contemplating the truth that Tesla killed off the truck’s least expensive modelthere wasn’t a lot of a cause to purchase one in 2025 — particularly given at this time’s political local weather and what the truck tells the remainder of the world about you.

To be truthful, 250,000 gross sales was all the time BS. Only one automobile beat that mark in 2025: the Tesla Mannequin Y, and it offered an estimated 357,500 models, in keeping withCox Automotive. And, the Cybertruck did not even fare notably poorly in comparison with different electrical pickup vans. It was solely outsold by the Ford F-150 Lightning, which discovered 27,307 new houses in 2025. Apart from that, it handily outsold the Chevy Silverado EV (11,275 gross sales), GMC Hummer EV (15,788 gross sales — although pickup and SUV gross sales aren’t damaged out), GMC Sierra EV (7,996 gross sales) and Rivian R1T (7,416 gross sales).

Nonetheless, the Cybertruck’s 48.1% gross sales drop was fairly sizable, with the F-150 Lightning dropping 18.5%, the Silverado EV gaining 51.8%, the Hummer EV siblings dropping 12.8%, the Sierra EV gaining a whopping 347.2% (it was barely on sale final yr) and the R1T dropping 33.1%.

Do not get it twisted, although. The Cybertruck actually wasn’t the one electrical automobile to see large losses in 2025, and neither was the EV truck house. Kia EV6 gross sales had been down 40% from 21,715 models to only 12,933. Cadillac’s Lyriq deliveries had been down 7,400 models in comparison with ’24, and even the mighty Mannequin Y noticed gross sales fall by 15,000 models, InsideEVs stories.

In fact, the Cybertruck’s competitors goes to be scaling down. Ford killed off the all-electric F-150 Lightning in December, deciding as a substitute to give attention to an prolonged vary EV model of the truck, and Ram determined to drag the plug on its electrical pickup truck that was slated to return out ultimately.

That being stated, I do not suppose it’s going to be sufficient to shake the ick off the Cybertruck. You would be hard-pressed to search out somebody on the market who would not have robust emotions in regards to the truck, and most of them are deeply adverse about it, both due to the best way it seems to be, its lack of real-world performance or the truth that it so outwardly represents Musk and the warped world-view he holds. Let’s simply say, I do not anticipate Cybertruck gross sales to get higher in 2026 except lots of people get cool with a variety of not cool stuff in a single day.
