Tesla Cybertruck inventory skyrockets to record high​

Tesla’s Cybertruck inventory has skyrocketed to a new record high of more than 10,000 units. The vehicle program is in crisis.
We reported at the beginning of April that Tesla ended the first quarter of 2025 with at least 2,400 Cybertrucks in new inventory available in the US.

There’s no exact way to track Tesla’s inventory in the US, but there are ways to track Tesla’s Cybertruck listings. Sometimes, Tesla may have many vehicles with the exact same configuration at the same location and it will only publish a single listing for it.

Therefore, Tesla might have been sitting on more Cybertruck inventory.

A month later, the number of listings in the US has skyrocketed to over 10,000 Cybertrucks, according to Tesla-Info.com:

This surge could be due to an actual net increase in Cybertruck inventory, but Tesla is also heavily discounting the trucks at varying rates, creating several different prices and, therefore, more listings.

At an average sale price of $78,000, Tesla could have almost $800 million worth of Cybertrucks.
Due to low demand, Tesla appears to have significantly slowed down Cybertruck production in recent months. Therefore, this surge is likely more about Tesla discounting the vehicles, exposing the broader US inventory, than an actual major increase in inventory due to more production.

Many of the Cybertrucks in inventory were built in 2024, so they are already at least four months old. Tesla still has ‘Foundation Series’ Cybertrucks in inventory, which it stopped producing in October 2024—more than seven months ago.

Tesla recently launched the Cybertruck RWD, but it has given up on making it with a smaller battery pack and instead removed many important features.

Tesla need to update the CT to "series 2" ie conventional "Tesla family" look, and in proper pickup style. From what I have read the platform/skateboard is the major cost, so a major update to make the CT more apealing and practical should not be cost prohibitive.

I like Elon.

Tesla however seems to be on the struggle bus

It appears so and IMO, for strange reasons. Myself, I'm 100% for what Elon and his crew did and are doing and idiots (and I use that term loosely) that are destroying his vehicles, defacing his dealerships and bad mouthing him and his company are just that, idiots and the ones that commit crimes against Tesla, it's vehicles and dealers should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, no exceptions.

Destroying the cars and vandalizing the dealerships is very immature and the people that Elon employ's at his plants can be in danger of loosing their jobs and livelyhood because of the actions of those stupid people. Lock them up I say.

Didn't realize Volkswagen is bringing back the Scout and going to build them in South Carolina? Looks like both an SUV and pickup.

Scouts always come back

Another (of many) Hybrid vehicles with a whopper base price tag of 50 grand. I maintain that the more offerings there are, the smaller 'slice of the pie' is available. 50 grand gets you the basic vehicle with nothing added at all. Wonder if the base vehicle even comes with doors?

I'm sure they will sell them but I'm reasonably sure they will never be a volume seller either. The original Scouts weren't ever a volume vehicle either.

Nissan too, especially after the proposed merger with Honda fell through.

While I personally find Musk an insufferable, conceited fool I agree that vandalism is not the way to go.
I also understand the frustration many of these demonstrators feel when you have someone, accountable to no one with no government experience taking a sledgehammer to practically every government agency.
I for one would not be unhappy to see this smug, "I'm the smartest guy in the world, if you don't believe it just ask me" jerk taken down a peg or two. Or three.

I believe Elon is accountable to the President only…

Although the clock is running out on his special position…
