While Tesla is fighting for a fall in sales, the company began offering discounts on Cybertruck.
On its website, the automaker is advertising up to $1,600 off new Cybertrucks, and buyers can choose demo versions of the futuristic selection with just a few hundred miles on the clock at a $2,600 discount.
It occurs after Tesla moved part of its Cybertruck production line to its Austin factory, Austin Factory Business Insider told Business Insider.
The staff was transferred to the production chain of the successful style of Tesla, a resolution that, according to two, unusual.
Sales of the Cybertruck, which launched in 2023 and was Tesla’s first new passenger vehicle since the Model Y midsize SUV was released in 2020, have faced scrutiny in recent months.
The company makes public sales figures from Cybertruck, but declared that it has sold 85,000 “other cars” in 2024, adding cybertrucks and cars of the X -style and the S. Tesla sold approximately 39,000 cybertrucks in 2024, according to knowledge with knowledge . Of Corporate Kelley Blue Book automobile studies.
Tesla has raised 2 million reservations for Cybertruck before the vehicle publishes, according to an online tracker through Electk.
The automaker has said the unorthodox off-roader is now turning a profit, and industry data shows it’s still outselling rivals such as the Ford F-150 Lightning.
However, this is not enough to prevent Tesla from registering its first annual minimization in sales in 2024, despite the incentives towards the end of the year.
The car manufacturer is now pressing to meet the ambitious purpose of Elon Musk of a sales expansion from 20% to 30% this year, presenting an edition made by the model and in Asia last week.
The Cybertruck also faced several reminders in 2024, adding disruption with its massive windshield wiper and a failure that risked the truck’s accelerator pedal that’s hidden at full speed.
The discounts, first reported via CNBC, may mitigate one of the biggest barriers for Tesla enthusiasts picturing the trapezoid truck: price.
When Musk presented the Cybertruck in 2019, he said that the angular electric vehicle would start at $ 39,900, the maximum dear edition promoted by around $ 70,000.
However, initial versions of the Cybertruck were priced at over $100,000, and Tesla rolled out a cheaper all-wheel-drive version for $80,000 just in October.
Tesla did not respond to a request for comment, sent outside the general gates that run hours.
Correction: January 16, 2025 — An earlier version of this story misstated the Model Y’s classification. It’s a midsize SUV, not a sedan.
