According to CNBC, the electric pickup has struggled to achieve mass-market sales despite Musk's earlier projection of 250,000 annual deliveries. Cox Automotive estimated US Cybertruck sales at 20,237 units last year, a 48% decline from 38,965 in 2024.

The vehicle attracted a niche following for its distinctive design but faced criticism over specifications, production quality and reliability.

The 2024 model was subject to 11 voluntary recalls, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Reported problems included accelerator pedal defects, software issues and faults that could cause sudden loss of drive power.

Musk maintained that Cybertrucks already sold would remain in service for years.
