The Tesla Cybertruck is becoming a problem for Tesla. One that, granite granite (car by car, rather), is causing important headaches to the company … in all areas. The photo that best reflects is that of a dealer near Detroit (United States).
Stored. The Hunters Square shopping center in Farmington Hills, next to Detroit, lives an out of the out of the out. Specifically, the one carried out by the Tesla dealership in the area whose cars are occupying more and more space in the shopping center.
As reported in Crain’s Detroit Business The vehicles received by the shopping center are vehicles waiting for buyer and have been viralized after Some publications on Instagram They have highlighted the storage of what, almost all, are units of the Tesla Cybertruck.
A letter. They point out in the American environment that from the City of Farmington Hills they have already sent a letter to contact those responsible for the mall since, they have reached an agreement with the Tesla dealership, it is illegal to store vehicles on public roads.
The problem for the public institution is higher because, in addition, there are some projected works to overthrose part of the building and remodel it so the cars also bother in this sense, they point out from Motorpasion.
The forest. What happens with the storage of these Tesla Cybertruck are trees that should not cover the forest. Tesla Cybertruck sales are not working as expected and the big question is If the company has reached the roof of sales to which they could nourish too soon.
In fact, it is not the first time we have news of the difficulties that Tesla is having to place cars on the market. For example, the client who returned the car the same day he discovered that he had completely stopped in A field for four months Before your sales.
What do I do with all this? According to data from Cox Automotive collected by InsideevsTesla sold 6,406 Cybertruck units in the first quarter of 2025. It is half that in the third and fourth quarter of 2024. The figure, they point out, is alarming because Tesla promised that would manufacture 250,000 units per year but then has reduced that figure to 120,000 units per year.
Selling at this rhythm, Tesla can expect to sell about 25,000 units at the end of the year. There are 95,000 units less than planned (or promised). They explain in Autoevolution that the company has tried to alleviate the problem with aggressive discounts. We also knew that months ago They were removing commemorative plates from the most expensive editions To lower the price.
A problem. Excess stock for a car company It is a real problem. It means that they are occupying resources in the assembly line and in the warehouse to which they are not giving exit. To put them in the market, they are sold cheaper than expected and, therefore, the profit margin is dramatically reduced.
And, in the worst case, the car ends up giving himself for not losing more money. It is something that can explain well Stellantis to Tesla. But that is the short term. The images of vehicles stored for months waiting to give it out and find a good discount program also damages the image of the vehicle and the company.
In the case of Tesla Cybertruck the problem is greater because the car was sold as a flag model of the company. However, since its launch it has not stopped filling covers by its reliability problemstheir unfulfilled promises And, above all, the news of his loose sales.
