Tesla Turns to Internal Sales to Boost Cybertruck Deliveries

Tesla is exploring innovative strategies to accelerate sales of its highly anticipated Cybertruck, and a recent move suggests a focus on internal demand. The electric vehicle manufacturer appears to be selling a significant number of the futuristic pickup trucks to other companies founded by Elon Musk, including SpaceX and xAI. Reports indicate that hundreds of Cybertrucks have already been delivered to SpaceX and xAI facilities, sourced from Tesla’s existing inventory.

This strategy comes as Tesla grapples with a disparity between production capacity and actual sales. The company is capable of producing over 250,000 Cybertrucks annually, but has only delivered approximately 20,000 to date. According to analysis from Electrek, the production line is operating at roughly 10% utilization, a level of inefficiency that represents substantial costs for the automaker.

Strategic Inventory Shift

Faced with mounting inventory, Tesla appears to have found a solution within its own corporate ecosystem. SpaceX reportedly received hundreds of Cybertrucks at its Starbase complex last week, with hundreds, or even thousands, more expected in the near future. Sightings of the Cybertruck have also been reported at xAI offices.

Integrating Cybertrucks into the Musk Portfolio

Tesla’s chief engineer for the Cybertruck, Wes Morrill, framed the move as a logical step in updating the companies’ fleets. “It’s great to see ICE fleets at Tesla and SpaceX being replaced with Cybertruck,” Morrill stated. “We dreamed of this when we built it. Never thought I’d see photos of the Starbase fleet looking this epic. Looking forward to more.” The move not only helps Tesla reduce inventory but also promotes the use of more environmentally friendly transportation within Musk’s technology companies.

The decision highlights Tesla’s need to balance production with demand in a competitive EV market.

Market Trends and Comparative Data

Tesla delivered just 5,385 Cybertrucks in the third quarter, a 63% decrease compared to the same period last year. Since the beginning of 2023, approximately 16,000 Cybertrucks have been sold, according to an analysis by Kelley Blue Book, which combines Cybertruck sales data with older Tesla models, as the company does not release individual figures. This data points to challenges in broader market acceptance.

Despite the Cybertruck’s struggles, Tesla’s overall sales reached a record 497,099 vehicles in the third quarter, a 7.4% increase year-over-year. This growth was partially driven by a $7,500 tax credit that expired on September 30. Analysts predict a potential decline in sales during the fourth quarter, which could further exacerbate the Cybertruck’s situation.

Competition and Future Outlook

Other electric pickup truck manufacturers have experienced more positive sales trends. Rivian R1T sales increased by 13% in the third quarter compared to the previous year, while Ford F-150 Lightning sales rose by 39.7%, GMC Hummer EV sales increased by 21.9%, and Sierra EV saw an impressive 771% increase. These figures underscore the Cybertruck’s underperformance in the market, posing a challenge for the company and its leadership.

While a recent accident involving a Xiaomi SU7 led to a 9% drop in its stock price, it does not directly impact the Cybertruck’s sales strategy, but it does reflect the overall volatility of the electric vehicle market.
