For each electric pick-up that has sold Elon Musk in 2025 two Dacia Sandero in Spain have been sold

A year and a half after sale, the electric pick-up that was going to revolutionize the market is confirmed, once again, as a real failure. We talk about the Tesla Cybertruck. So far this year sign 10,700 unitsin the US, its main market: it is sold in North America and little else, with almost non -existent figures in Canada.

To put it in context, and the American being a much larger market, it is half of what Dacia Sandero has sold in Spain that has already exceeded 20,000 units. This where pick-ups are, long, the most commercialized type of car.

The cybertruck: a speck in the country where more pick -ups are sold from the planet

When the Tesla Cybertruck In 2019, Elon Musk described it as a better pick-up than an Ford F-150 and faster than a Porsche 911. Credentials that generated tremendous expectation: it was said that before launching in November 2023 he had already received more than two million reserves. And that would take years to meet demand, taking into account its production volume (125,000 units per year). His reality has been very different.

In 2024 he signed about 39,000 units sold, a figure quite far from the initial estimates. This 2025 its numbers are even poorer: according to Kelley Blue Book data, So far this year has 10,712 delivered7.3 % less than last year. The second quarter of the year has been especially bad: 4,306 Cybertruck units have been marketed, half compared to the same period last year, when it exceeded 8,700.

Shipwrecked in the Pick-up market par excellence. The US is the paradise of the pick-ups: this segment reigns long in its market. But the Tesla Cybertruck has not done it precisely. Between January and June of this year, the best selling car has been the Ford Series F, with 399,819 deliveries. The second most commercialized model is the Chevrolet Silverado, with 283,812 units registered.

Elon Musk’s is years in light. Being fair, and Although the pick-ups triumph in the US, the electricity does not do it. Of the F-150 electric lightning have been delivered in these first six months just over 13,000. And Silverado EV has only signed 5,439 units: and that has improved its numbers compared to last year.

In general, electric cars do not cross their best moment in this market, with a decline of 12.6 %. The Tesla Model and is the most commercialized zero broadcasts, with more than 198,000 deliveries. The second is Model 3, with about 73,500 units.

Irrelevant in the market. Spain is a much smaller market by volume than the US, country of countries: in these six months the three best -selling cars already add up to practically those sold here in a whole year (about one million). Thus, with those 10,700 deliveries, the Tesla Cybertruck is almost anecdotal over there. Dacia Sandero in our market already bends that amount (20,300 units). And what has managed to sell Tesla’s pick-up between April and June is what the Dacia utility has sold only in June: 4,329.

And if we compare it with a premium electric car in the US, for example the Porsche Macan, they are figures are even poorer. Stuttgart’s has delivered these six months more than 43,500 units.

Why has Cybertruck failed? The reasons for the failure of the Tesla Cybertruck are several. First that It was never what was promised: Musk said it would have a 40,000 dollar option that never arrived: when the cheapest was launched exceeded $ 70,000 and the most powerful Cyberbeast trimotor the $ 100,000. It is therefore a luxury car than a work vehicle. And that has been his Achilles heel. Nor is it excessively capable as off -road or towing vehicle.

To this are added reliability problems. In just over a year of selling, eight calls for review had already suffered and complaints from private clients are counted by tens. This owner who had to take her to the workshop eight times in just six months, without finding a solution, serves as an example. Not to mention that it has not fulfilled its announced autonomy and Tesla solved it with an extra of 16,000 dollars: an additional battery for the box that ate a third of its load capacity. This optional withdrew it from the configurator without delivering even.

Tesla has tried everything to give way to the Cybertruckwhich has also overproduced and accumulate by thousands in fields: from lowering prices (now starts at $ 62,500) to financing offers. Interestingly, he has also given him an image washing at the advertising level, trying to sell it as a work vehicle and bring it closer to which Ford F-150, that pick-up that in theory exceeded. The numbers make it clear that he has not achieved it, nor will he get it.
