Tesla's Cybertruck sales plummeted 48% in 2025 to 20,237 units from 38,965 in 2024—the steepest decline among U.S. electric vehicles—per Cox Automotive and Kelley Blue Book data. The downturn, far below initial projections of 250,000 annual units, stemmed from multiple recalls, the end of $7,500 federal tax credits, affordability issues, design polarization, and Elon Musk-linked backlash, despite international expansion and a leading EV market share.
