Tesla Cybertrucks Are Gathering Dust, Even With $6,000 Discount

As unwanted Cybertruck inventory rises, Tesla is forced to introduce discounts. But even $6,000 savings aren't bringing buyers into showrooms.

Summary

Tesla is struggling to sell its Cybertruck, even after applying discounts of up to $6,000. Inventories are piling up in the U.S. and Canada, with demand falling short of expectations.

The 2025 model qualifies for a $7,500 tax credit, but the 2024 model—still in stock—does not. There are also concerns that the tax credit may soon be eliminated.

Tesla’s goal of producing 250,000 Cybertrucks annually seems unrealistic, and analysts suggest a cheaper single-motor version may be needed to stimulate demand.

The Cybertruck’s hype appears to be fading.

    It’s ugly, it’s heavy, it’s completely impractical, it’s associated with a petty tyrant.

    Nobody wants it.

      It also has terrible build quality, is almost double the price they said it would be, & does zero things better than any of its competitors. Crazy to think that anyone would prefer to purchase something (or you know, literally anything) other than a cybertruck

        Yep. Tons of recalls and it doesn’t help people get locked in them and die thanks to fires or other causes.

          I like your positive outlook on life. It is a solid silver lining that fewer people will die needlessly, specifically BECAUSE Elon is one of the worst people alive AND a moron causing less people to own one.

          You are statistically more likely to die in a fire in a Cybertruck than a Ford Pinto
