Tesla Cybertruck Deliveries Drop Amid Weaker Demand for EVs

Tesla’s latest delivery report has confirmed that sales of its highly anticipated Cybertruck have slumped to approximately 5,000 units per quarter, a significant drop from the automaker’s earlier expectations.



Initially, Tesla had envisioned a production target exceeding 250,000 Cybertruck units annually.



Now, with current sales translating to around 20,000 units a year, questions have arisen about the future viability of the program.



Lack of Transparency Clouds Cybertruck’s Outlook



Tesla has long been criticized for its opaque reporting on vehicle sales.



The company bundles multiple models together, making it difficult to determine the performance of individual vehicle lines.



For instance, the Model 3 and Model Y are grouped, despite substantial differences in size and design.



More notably, the Model S, Model X, Cybertruck, and Tesla Semi are all placed under the “other models” category, which further conceals specific sales data.



In its Q2 2025 report, Tesla disclosed the production of 13,409 units and the delivery of 10,394 vehicles under the “other models” classification.



This figure represents a sharp decline from the category’s 2024 peak, when Cybertruck deliveries were boosted by an existing reservation backlog.



Even with incentives like the $7,500 federal tax credit, demand has not rebounded.



Cybertruck Trails Behind Rivals in EV Pickup Segment



Sales for Tesla’s “other models” are now lower than in Q1 2023, when the Cybertruck had yet to enter the market.



While Model S and Model X deliveries are also down, they are estimated to account for around 5,000 units based on international data.



This implies that Cybertruck deliveries stood at roughly 5,000 units in Q2 2025.



By comparison, Ford sold 5,842 units of the F-150 Lightning during the same period, despite a 26% year-over-year decline.



General Motors is also gaining ground, delivering 3,056 Silverado EVs, 1,524 GMC Sierra EVs, and 4,508 Hummer EVs.



Although the Hummer EV figure includes both pickups and SUVs, GM’s overall EV truck sales now outpace Tesla’s.



This stark contrast underscores the mounting pressure on Tesla to reevaluate the Cybertruck’s market strategy as it struggles to keep up in the competitive electric pickup segment.
