The comedic saga surrounding the Tesla Cybertruck continues, with sales levels absolutely catastrophic in the United States.
This is now a verified fact: global Tesla sales in 2024 have decreased for the first time in its history. The momentum is broken as the planet has never consumed this type of energy more than now. According to the American manufacturer’s annual report, sales have shrunk by 1%.
You might say it’s not dramatic, but Tesla should never have hit a plateau in 2024 when competitors’ sales are exploding. In the US alone, BMW sold 50,000 electric cars, a record for the German company. And the trend is set. As for BYD, it has solidified its position as the world’s leading electric car manufacturer for the second year running.
Cybertruck is the perfect expression of its CEO Elon Musk’s grandeur. A vehicle that breaks with traditional pickup norms in the United States, where such vehicles appeal as much to farmers as to businesspeople craving masculinity.
Has the Cybertruck said its last word?
Elon Musk, a figure revered and hated in equal measure, now exposes his most revolting thoughts on his social network X, claimed 2 million reservations a year ago. However, cancellations have been dizzying, motivated by unmet pricing promises. The same goes for range, charging speed, reliability, invulnerability, etc.
Tesla does not specify the exact volume of Cybertruck produced and delivered in 2024. Without going into concealment, it buries this figure in the “other products” line of its report. “Other products” which include, dismissively, the Model S and Model X. Thus, 94,105 vehicles of this range have been produced. By extrapolating from previous years’ sales levels — when the Cybertruck didn’t exist — market analysts estimate around 35,000 units.
But all is not lost for the Cybertruck. Despite its hefty price tag (around €90,000), Tesla’s pickup has just become eligible for a federal bonus of $7,500 (in France, the ecological bonus for 2025 is €2,000 for vehicles under €47,000). Moreover, Tesla plans to accelerate the release of a downgraded rear-wheel-drive version, so it can still boast with a less expensive model.
Cybertruck on its territory in the coming months. This could add a “moral debt” line to the Trump administration, where Elon Musk could soon become a burdensome figure.
2025 is likely to be a turbulent year for Tesla…
