Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) has sold over 16,000 Cybertrucks so far in 2025, averaging around 59 vehicles per day across the first three quarters, according to new figures analyzed by Finbold research. Yet despite the milestone, sales have dropped sharply from last year, highlighting waning momentum for Tesla’s most unconventional model.
While the futuristic pickup initially generated strong consumer interest following its highly anticipated rollout in late 2023, the latest figures reveal a sharp decline in sales momentum compared with last year.
In the first quarter of 2025, Tesla delivered 6,406 Cybertrucks, the strongest quarterly performance of the year so far. Sales momentum weakened significantly in the second quarter, with deliveries falling to 4,306 units, a decline of more than 50% compared with Q2 2024 and around one-third lower than Q1 2025.
The third quarter brought a modest rebound, with 5,385 Cybertrucks sold. Even so, sales were still down 62.6% year-over-year, a steep drop from the 14,416 units delivered in Q3 2024, as per figures acuired from Cox Automotive.
The model’s share of the EV market also slipped to 1.2%, compared with 1.5% a year earlier. Overall, Tesla has sold 16,097 Cybertrucks in the first nine months of 2025, a 38% decline from the 25,974 units recorded over the same period in 2024.
Tesla’s electric vehicle sales
Although sales have slowed, the Cybertruck remains one of the most recognizable and polarizing vehicles in the electric vehicle (EV) market. When placed in the context of Tesla’s broader EV portfolio, the Cybertruck remains a niche contributor.
The Model Y continues to dominate sales for the company, with 265,068 units delivered year-to-date, securing more than a quarter of total EV sales in the period. Whereas, the Model 3 followed with 155,180 sales, while the Model S and Model X posted more modest numbers of 4,509 and 10,306 respectively.
The decline in Cybertruck sales highlights a mix of challenges for Tesla and the wider electric pickup market. At the same time, rising competition from Rivian, Ford, and other EV manufacturers has intensified the battle for market share in the electric truck segment.
Broader macroeconomic conditions, including high financing costs and weaker consumer sentiment for large discretionary purchases, may also be weighing on demand.
