Despite the Model Y’s global popularity, Tesla faces headwinds in 2025. CEO Elon Musk’s actions have sparked boycotts and “Tesla Takedown” protests worldwide.
Reports suggest Tesla is struggling to sell its Cybertruck, with nearly 2,400 unsold units, valued at $200 million, sitting in inventory. The automaker is allegedly refusing Cybertruck trade-ins, a worrying sign for the once-hyped pickup.
Cybertruck sales peaked at 5,308 units in September but have since declined. A recent recall affecting almost all delivered units revealed only 46,000 Cybertrucks were sold. Musk’s political affiliations have further damaged Tesla’s reputation.
Owners are reportedly trying to offload their Teslas, and a global boycott is impacting resale values. Electrek reports that Tesla is not accepting Cybertrucks as trade-ins and forcing some owners to pursue “Lemon Law” options.
Used Cybertruck prices have plummeted, with dealers hesitant to buy the vehicle. As Trump’s tariffs disrupt markets and Musk’s controversies persist, Tesla’s future remains uncertain. “Tesla Takedown” protests continue across the globe.
