Tesla Cybertruck Sales Drop 38 Percent, Stock Piles Up In Warehouse, Starting Not Selling?

JAKARTA When it was first introduced, the Tesla Cybertruck was predicted to be a revolutionary electric truck that captivated millions of consumers. CEO Elon Musk even confidently called more than a million incoming orders for the futuristic vehicle.

However, the reality on the ground seems far from expectations. Citing Carscoops' report, Wednesday, October 15, during the first nine months of 2025, the sales performance of Cybertruck actually declined sharply.

According to Cox Automotive data, Tesla only managed to sell 16,097 units of Cybertruck, down 38 percent compared to the same period last year, where sales reached 25,974 units.

In detail, Tesla delivered 6,406 units in the first quarter of 2025, then 4,306 units in the second quarter. This figure improved slightly in the third quarter to 5,385 units, possibly driven by the end of federal electric vehicle tax incentives in the US.

However, the increase did not cover the negative trend. When compared to Q3 2024, the delivery of the Cybertruck fell by 62.6 percent, from the previous 14,416 units. Whereas in the early days of its launch, Tesla had targeted production of up to 50,000 units per year.

Interestingly, the decline in sales to the public was actually offset by the transfer of units to another company owned by Musk himself. The report states that SpaceX and xAI are now accepting hundreds of Cybertrucks as operational vehicles.

In fact, it is reported that Tesla now has an accreting stock of Cybertrucks. Hundreds of units have reportedly been sent to SpaceX's Starbase facility, with the potential of thousands of other units following in the near future, replacing the gasoline truck previously used at the site.

"It's great to see the ICE support fleet from Tesla and SpaceX replaced by Cybertruck. When we designed it, it's always been part of our dreams. I never imagined how difficult it would be to take photos of the fleet in Starbase. We're looking forward to more photos like this," said Cybertruck chief technician Wes Morrill.
