"Tesla Cybertruck sales plummeted by nearly half last year, according to a study that determined 2025 was the second-best year on record for electronic vehicle sales in the U.S. Cox Automotive, a data company that conducted the study, found that Elon Musk's EV company sold 38,965 Cybertrucks in 2024. But Tesla only sold 20,237 of its electric utility truck in 2025, marking a 48% decrease."
"Electric vehicles enjoyed a record-breaking third quarter in 2025 followed by an expected fourth-quarter decline blamed on the revocation of government-based sales incentives. Those incentives included a $7,500 tax credit that applied to vehicles including the Cybertruck, according to USA Today. The long-awaited Cybertruck debuted to considerable hype in 2023 four years after the vehicle was introduced as a prototype. Its release was delayed on more than one occasion."
Tesla Cybertruck unit sales dropped from 38,965 in 2024 to 20,237 in 2025, a 48% decline. Cox Automotive identified 2025 as the second-best year for U.S. electric vehicle sales despite that model’s slump. EVs posted a record third quarter in 2025, then declined in the fourth quarter after government-based sales incentives were revoked, including a $7,500 tax credit that had applied to the Cybertruck. The Cybertruck launched in 2023 after multiple delays and has undergone several recalls, including a 2025 trim defect that pulled 46,000 models from the road. The vehicle has faced vandalism incidents in New York and received praise for speed and drivability from a 2026 Car and Driver review.
