How many Tesla Cybertrucks were ever produced?
Tesla never published a Cybertruck production total, but the best available figures put it at roughly 70,000–73,000: Musk said about 70,000 were sold over three years, and Cox Automotive estimated 72,702 total sales.
The number measures the scale of the miss: Musk once predicted 250,000 Cybertruck sales a year, and Tesla is now winding down the line at a claimed net project loss of $1.9 billion.

- Musk said on Nov. 6, 2026, that Tesla installed tooling for 125,000 Cybertrucks a year but sold about 70,000 over three years, spending $2 billion on R&D for $100 million in gross profit — a net loss of $1.9 billion.
- Cox Automotive estimated total sales of 72,702, with more than half in 2024; U.S. sales fell from 38,965 in 2024 to 20,237 in 2025, down 48%.
- Tesla doesn't report Cybertruck production or deliveries separately — they sit in the 'Other Models' bucket with Model S, Model X and Semi — so every cumulative total is an analyst estimate.
- In Q3 2026, 'Other Models' deliveries fell 48% year over year to 8,295 units; Electrek estimates 7,000–8,000 of those were Cybertrucks, roughly 12% of the line's 250,000-unit annual capacity.
Room for disagreement
- Estimates vary: Musk said about 70,000 sold over three years, AP cited industry estimates of about 71,000, and Cox Automotive counted 72,702.
- Since Tesla doesn't break out Cybertruck production, actual build numbers could be higher than sales totals — Tesla produced more vehicles than it delivered company-wide in multiple quarters.
