Cox Automotive estimated 1,914 Cybertruck sales in the United States in October 2026, according to Electrek, which described it as the model’s best month in more than a year. The estimate is separate from Tesla’s delivery reporting, which groups the Cybertruck with other models rather than listing it on its own.
One strong month is a useful data point, but it sits alongside a longer run of declining sales estimates.
October in the context of earlier sales estimates
The October estimate follows lower figures for longer periods. DW reported Cox Automotive estimates of 38,965 U.S. Cybertruck sales in 2024 and 20,237 in 2025, a 48.1% year-over-year decline. For January through September 2026, DW reported an estimated 11,586 sales, 28% below the same period in 2025. October’s monthly estimate and those annual or nine-month totals describe different periods.
DW and Yahoo Finance reported that Tesla includes the Cybertruck with the Model S and Model X in its “other models” delivery category. That category does not give a separate Cybertruck total.
Tesla’s Texas production plan
On November 6, Elon Musk said Tesla planned to gradually reduce Cybertruck production at its Texas factory around mid-2027 to make room for more Cybercab production, DW reported. A day later, Musk said the order backlog exceeded what Tesla could build before the line change, expected around June or July 2027. He said Tesla would add a shift to try to complete orders before then.
The original X post from Musk is in English. NeoTeo has also covered Musk’s plan for the Cybertruck line in Texas and the proposed extra shift.
Individual reactions to the production uncertainty
Comments in one Cybertruck discussion on Reddit show sharply different personal reactions. One commenter said worries about owning the vehicle several years later, along with repeated delivery delays, contributed to canceling an order. Another said the possibility of production ending would deter a purchase; an owner awaiting an order said the vehicle’s potential rarity appealed to them.
