The Cybertrucks piled in the US are being taken to the UAE.

Ain’t that ironic. The Raptors will smoke yhem there

You need them there to sell them there .

All the stolen vehicles end up there too. Just skipping a few steps.

Looks like a miniscule amount of them. They're so rare here in the USA they VERY rarely sell used for less than $70,000 regardless of mileage. What is this site trying to say?

Yeah, why am I getting down voted? Odd. I've been watching the used market for months.

So they're just going to bury them in the desert like ET for the 2600?

https://www.reddit.com/r/DubaiPetrolHeads/comments/1e6i5tn/stolen_canadian_cars_in_uae_auto_markets/

UAE is a thriving hub for international trade. Stolen cars get shipped there, go to a chop shop and get distributed locally and to other destinations.

DeMuro says they're "knocking on the door of the 50s" used and falling. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/aAbBj70FUdA

Why listen to what some tuber has to say? Literally just search online, you'll see it's a lie. The ones he's showing is some ugly purple wrap which nobody wants and tanked the value. Not exactly a factory truck.

I’ll take one for $3.50. I’ll go jump it in the desert.

He's not just some YouTuber... Dude runs a vehicle auction site. He has a better understanding of the used vehicle market than almost anyone else.

Cybertrucks being used for Tesla mobile service now. Must be roomier than trying to work out of a Model S, especially when transporting larger parts.

Not a runaway success just the most successful all electric pickup on the market.

He is just some YouTuber though.

$50,000 250mile range is decent price. Big toy car

Are you sure? Can you share that data? I see \~10 Rivians in my area for every CT. Sure, a lot of those are R1S, so maybe call it 5 R1T : 1 CT.

isn't it neck and neck with the Ford lightning? The same Ford lightning that Ford is going to stop selling because it's sold so poorly. not hating but seriously asking. And I think the Cyber truck has massive building capacity that is not being used. I would still buy one if they were remotely close to their original Target price.

that covered bed and bed trunk are damn nice. the cab certainly has space that can be used for sensitive parts. Plus Tesla probably could de-tune any CT used by Service and maybe even require FSD usage. When I had a near new CT (Beast edition) as a loaner I used FSD to understand where it should be in the lane given its heft as compared to my Y. Great little truck, fortunately too big for my garage - that is my excuse I am standing by.

Im in a conservative area of Socal, and they're surprisingly common.

The comment was obviously in jest. Sorry it didn't meet your journalistic standards.

Pavement princess technical lol.

Ok

Make up your mind is it selling or not . A lot of people can't afford a 79k dollar truck. But some can and they are buying them.. what are you complaining about sales . Some people are finding out the cyber truck. Is more than a truck. And the TCO it's cheaper than a gas truck if you do the math .

Because Ford can’t make money on the truck after losing the $7500 EV tax credit. Tesla is among the few profitable EV companies. Most legacy auto makers lose or break even selling EVs Ford lost $5 billion on EVs in 2024. Why wouldn’t they cancel it?

ah good point!

It seems it is selling outside the USA even with the NACS plug, maybe it is time to produce a CCS2 version?

Didn’t Elon sell a massive number of the trucks to Space X to pad the numbers?

https://preview.redd.it/1v5j3byxllfg1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=926a695f79c605baa44d7e918f40a67d04337841 Yes I know it’s not the same place

Brother how are you on the internet

This type of “data sharing” isn’t what is used to justify sales. The “trust me, there’s some in my area” doesn’t mean Rivian is outselling Tesla.

Why do you think Tesla combines the sales numbers for the model S, X, and CT when they report their quarterly financials?

Lot of cybertrucks are moved from Tesla to SpaceX books. Almost everyone who is potential buyer of Cybertruck got one and there isn't much of market left.

I didn’t say it was concrete data. Just that it flew against my personal anecdote. CT’s really stand out, so they’re hard to miss. I did later look up sales on the R1’s and they’ve fluctuated a lot.

Actually the numbers are in constant flux but my most recent understanding is that Rivian has seen a rather large drop in shipments. In the last quarter Rivian sales where down 31%, numbers for Cybetruck are harder to fine but are believed to be down 50% (sources vary a lot) for the entire year of 2025. Again finding reliable and comparable numbers, is not easy but the estimate is that Tesla sold about 16K and Rivian 7.4K trucks for the year 2025. Ford literally gave up on the Lighting. Which highlights a lot of bias against electric truck in general. This is really sad when you consider how such trucks are actually used. With respect to Cybertruck I have had people tell me it is the best driving vehicle they have ever owned. The positive comments are why I see Cybertuck sales starting to go up over time. This will likely happen even faster if they can upgrade the batteries and maybe do a few other tricks. When it comes to batteries I suspect that Tesla does have new technology in the wings. Maybe that is wishful thinking but they will need something soon, as one of these days one of the promoted "break throughs" will actually ship. As for tricks they need to lower cost in some manner. Here is the thing, the Cybertruck would almost be perfect for me if it wasn't for the high cost. I'm actually looking for a solution to that problem but for now I just hope that Tesla can become more creative with Cybertruck costs. I would hate to see it canceled, as FSD firms up it would be a very valuable machine to have.

He's off his rocker on that, they don't sell that low at all. So rare to see one below 70k. Even on his own website there are like 2 that went below $70k.

[deleted]

I think it’s more that any one who was going to buy a cyber truck already did, meanwhile people will buy a used S. Sales are down 68% YoY

Over the summer, the local Tesla location had like half a dozen of them sitting around for loaners and test drives. A few weeks ago, when I asked about CTs, they said they're all gone and in high demand.. I find it hard to believe.. what's going on with CTs?

The UAE uses CCS2, not NACS. Probably other differences too. They're obviously not just taking Cybertrucks made for the USA market and shipping them to the UAE.

That's not what he said. The headline says that they're taking unsold USA stock and moving it to the UAE. The UAE use a different charge port, so that's obviously not what's happening, therefore the headline is clickbait.

Ford never made money on any of its electric EV's, even with the tax credits. As for Cybertruck it will be interesting to see if it is actually profitable. I hope it is because I want to see it stay around. As for 4th quarter it was expected that sales would decline because of the push to get the tax credit. We will need to see what happens in 2026, by the middle of the year we should see if there is any recovery. I still see a lot of potential in Cybertruck.

When I had mobile service come by, they told me they recommissioned a chunk of the buyback CTs for mobile service usage

Dude, you don’t need to be in a conservative part of SoCal for that. I live in the westside of LA and I see one nearly every time I leave the house (which inevitably makes me say “what an asshole” under my breath)

At least where I’m at, mid-sized city, I see several of them daily — probably about the same quantity of Model 3s I saw back in 2020. Today, the Model 3/Y make up pretty much every tenth car on the road. The numbers are definitely going up!

Was gonna say similar. I see 3-5 a day. Can’t be certain how many lightning f150 I come across because they blend in a lot better. Hummer Ev seems to be almost even with cybertruck I definitely see way, way more f150 raptors than cyber trucks and hummer EV’s combined.

Thats half the annual sales.

elongmusk syndrome

I'm not saying there aren't a ton of them out there, I'm just saying that they are selling every one they make, and it shows because the used market is so high priced. They just haven't started making as many as they should yet.

How is DeMuro on the internet with his tiny audience?

I dunno, lemme check his *dedicated Wikipedia page*

they reported the cybertruck was profitable way back in [October 2024](https://www.reddit.com/r/teslamotors/comments/1gakodk/the_cybertruck_officially_achieved_a_positive/) (I know this is a link to a reddit post which links to an X post, but this was reported widely and was based on Tesla's quarterly report that month). I'm sure it remains profitable

Please ship them faster, long queue here

Give em to Ukraine!

Counted about 50. Peanuts for Tesla balance sheet

Going up? They sold [20,000 last year](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/tesla-cybertruck-sales-elon-musk/), down half year over year.

CT is not selling.

Everyone has a dedicated Wikipedia page now. 😂

When he says knocking on 50k, he means soon like in a year or two, which my personal crystal ball agrees with. You can message me back here in that timeframe if I'm wrong and I'll accept that.

UAE really loves these for some reason. They buy out all the used stock as well. With all that oil you would think they prefer iCE vehicles but they really wan't the CT's. I wonder what the deal is.

I'm taking one for a test drive in 3 days at the Dubai Tesla showroom. I asked them if it's GCC spec (i.e. made for the UAE), but they said it's still US spec with the NACS port and the US plugs in the bed. If the official store is gonna be selling US trucks in here, that's just disrespectful to customers.

Idk man, I'm taking one for a test drive here in Dubai in 3 days and they said it's still a US import. Haven't seen a single truck made for UAE (or Europe) here yet.

where they will melt or just drive at night

It’s like the “Super Bowl champions” shirts they printed for the team that lost.

It’s going to be a US import as they are only made in the US. Sales are too poor to spin up manufacturing elsewhere

So they are giving away CT now at a steep steep discount overseas? This is news

Had a ct beast loaner when my home link was installed in my m3. I honestly came out of it wanting one. I could see how nice it would be camping with it. Only downside is that it’s a cybertruck and I couldn’t see myself driving it around town.

They buried ET in a junkyard in New Mexico. Not exactly the desert. The recently dug them all up, too.

SpaceX bought a huge amount of them, so those might have been SpaceX employees.

Nah they not rare (not in socal). It’s most owners won’t sell theirs for cheap because how good it actually is. Also, if you drive by a Raptor or TRX you wouldn’t even notice how expensive they are because they don’t stand out.

Maybe not promising a $39,990 price on unveil night, and then releasing it with a $79,990 price. When you do that, don't be surprised when the promised sales no longer are there.

No, I mean it's like Model S and X, which are also made only in the US, but the versions sold in UAE are manufactured specifically for the UAE. At the very least it needs to have the CCS2 charging port to be compatible with the local supercharger network without an adapter.

Build a normal-ish looking truck and you might have my attention. For now, S3XY is all I can do.

The price is the biggest problem with them. Ill get a Cyber Beast in a couple of years when the prices come down around $50-60k

that was 12 years ago

You're saying the charging ports on the vehicles there currently are NACS and not CCS?

These are the Cybertrucks ordered by customers in the UAE awaiting approval.

All other Tesla models here use CCS, but I'm yet to see a Cybertruck with CCS. Every Cybertruck I've seen, including the one in the showroom, has NACS.

So.... then the number of them on the road has gone up?

Oh yeah; we were saying the same thing. Where I am, the used ones run about the same as the new ones.

The Cybertruck order page for the UAE states "Chargeport includes CCS2 adapter". So apparently yes, they are shipping NACS-equipped Cybertrucks. The only difference from the US version is that they throw in an adapter. Also states that the bed has: "120V and 240V US Outlets (Adapter not included)". Again, seems like they didn't bother to change the US version. Not even an adapter. Check it out here: [https://www.tesla.com/en\_AE/cybertruck/design#overview](https://www.tesla.com/en_AE/cybertruck/design#overview)

According to the UAE order page, the Cybertruck ships with a CCS2 adapter. And even the bed outlets are still US (with no provided adapter). [https://www.tesla.com/en\_AE/cybertruck/design#overview](https://www.tesla.com/en_AE/cybertruck/design#overview)

Interesting. Thanks for sharing. Wonder if that's the norm for vehicles sent to Dubai - they leave the US with NACS and then get connector changed to CCS (not a hard change I'd imagine) once they've arrived?

That makes no sense from a manufacturing perspective. When they manufacture these cars, they generally know where they’re being sent, so they configure them properly from the factory so they don’t have to be reworked later. These cybertrucks are a special case. They were meant to be sold in the US but have been sitting in a parking lot for a year or more since nobody here wants them

I used to see 3-5 a day but I feel like I’ve been seeing less recently. Down to only one or two a week. Not sure what happened. I’m also in Southern California

Last one sold for 61k, and the last 6 auctions failed to hit 70k. If you look at cybertruck results and sort by recently ended it's a pretty obvious downward trend

That was a singular sale and they haven't even had a listing since then. No downward trend with a sample size of one. Look at autotempest where they are mostly sold across various platforms/dealerships sites. They are all above $70k and they have very recent listings. Nobody sells on cars and bids because of the massive fees.

There are many examples I've read of over the years of vehicles leaving the factory in one country and then having to have a component changed out in the destination country.

Elon set the terrible initial price which destroyed the car sales

[deleted]

I knew they dug them up, just not when they did it.

Damn, that's so lame. How hard could it be to manufacture them with a different outlet?

So why would you call somebody an asshole for driving a CyberTruck? Kinda narrow minded isn't it? If I had the $$$ i'd go out and buy one this week, the price tag is the only thing holding me back. The reality is there is nothing like Cybertruck on the market and once FSD is hands off there will not be a truck that even comes close to competing on technical merits. They do need to address the battery technology and I'm actually hoping that is fixed by the time I have the scratch to dive in.

I actually see the opposite happening, at least for a few years where resell value will be high. The reason will be FSD, when that becomes hands off I see demand soaring. You see every comment I receive from actual owners has been very positive about CyberTruck. This especially with respect to the way it drives and comfort all while on supervised. Cybertruck has the same issues as any electric with respect to range so that is there but most people simply do not have a problem.

Why not drive around town? These are great vehicles for business owners as the flat surfaces provide plenty of space for an advertising wrap. The other thing is the way they move about parking lots is smoother than driving my Honda Passport.

It is an extremely good vehicle technology wise for one. Second; no one there is going to give a crap about some turd in his mothers basement trying to embarrass users. It really amazes me to see how reactive some in this forum are to the opinion of others.

Agreed. Been debating about buying one last year and then suddenly no inventory and not even one to test drive. Used market has kept the values around $70s as well. Not sure what’s going on!

How do I check to see if my Wikipedia page is a *dedicated* one, or just a regular one?

Look at the dates on those, they're old. Used Cybertruck prices have gone up since then if you look on autotempest.

From too many bad experiences driving around people in cyber trucks driving like assholes. Maybe it's an issue of self-selecting group that bought one where I live in LA, but I've just had too many "wtf" moments to give people the benefit of the doubt now. Sucks, but it's just what I've experienced.

Uh you need to get out into the rest of the world where normal people drive. The LA area has had asshole drivers for decades now, well before CyberTruck hit. I can count on one hand the number of times I drove in LA and frankly some of the worse drivers one could imagine. This was awhile ago before Tesla was even a thing. As to the WTF moments I have to wonder when those happened and if the truck could have been running FSD. The reason of course is that early versions of FSD where especially bad on CyberTruck. Sadly outside of LA you might run into people driving diesel trucks with the same ill concern with other drivers. There is a segment of truck drivers that frankly shouldn't be driving. That is why I don't blame the machine, I rather blame the driver because that is where the intelligence, or lack of, is.

Just looked at autotempest's trend. if you think they've gone up get your eyes checked

Easy, is your page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DialMMM OR are you simply *mentioned* on this page? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Smallest_Penis_in_Brooklyn_pageant

Except that whether you like it or not the CyberBeast is the most aggressive model of the most polarizing vehicle that an already very polarizing company makes. People will associate your business with their politics on either side, which as a business owner isn’t something you want.

Wow! Well that is unusual, and totally changes things. Still possible that the plan was always to send these to UAE (other comments say orders were made months ago), but makes it a bit less clear.

I wouldve bought one if they were 70k for dual motor. 80k for a 2wd is stupid.

I’ve seen Tesla Service Ford Transits too, which would be infinitely more practical than a CT.

I see Cybertrucks more often in driveways than on the roads. I drive around lots of wealthier neighborhoods for my job. Seems a lot of people bought them and are regretting it or are too embarrassed to drive them.

I had a loaner CT for a few weeks due to a service repair for my MY (great customer service experience, btw). 99% of the interactions I had with people were positive. Most people wanted to check it out and had nice things to say. I received more attention in that truck than any car that I’ve owned. The only negative interaction I had was when a group of teenagers gave me a thumbs down as I was pulling out of a gas station after cleaning the windshield. Mind you, this was in the Chicago suburbs, in the Summer of last year. The media greatly over exaggerates the hate for Tesla.

For mobile service is great plus good promo as a work pickup.

I mean, id take one, if it was free.

Really, they finally found them?

>If the official store is gonna be selling US trucks in here, that's just disrespectful to customers. Sorry, I know Dubai is unique, but why is it disrespectful? Honestly don't know, sorry if I'm missing the obvious.

Why are you so vested in defending CT pricing in spite of evidence?

Do they hold hands?

A company can only be polarizing if you let it be. A company doesn't have politics beyond the opinions of all of those employed. Frankly this mis application of blame is exactly what is going on with the riots against ICE agents. Just like each and every Tesla employee they are just trying to do a job. You don't run around beating up Tesla employees because you don't like a Tesla position on a social problem. This especially if these imagined problems are the result of uninformed individuals. Frankly I'm glad Elon is a bit polerizing, because he is at least expressing is opinion publicly. I've had enough run ins with executives to know how sleazy they can be. Literally the epitome of a fork tongued devil. Look at it this way Elon wants his employees to succeed and drives them to do that, other CEO's are always looking for a way to screw over their employees. In the end people maintaining the idea that Tesla is so polarizing that people don't want to do or shouldn't do business with Tesla, is a sign of a simpleton.

Elon's Folly

Yea I should have bought Tesla when it was cheap https://preview.redd.it/2aaq7q8epvfg1.png?width=2378&format=png&auto=webp&s=671bfd3cb0cd5480f00e50cbd515b762d19ac4ad Source: [https://wealth-vision.tech/regret](https://wealth-vision.tech/regret)

26k units in 2025. The Buick Enclave and Kia Niro sold more.

They knew where they put them. It wasn't hard to find them.

How upside down is the average cyber truck owner?

Probably something to do with underlying custom 48v architecture.

That does suck however inflation went crazy between that time. I don't also don't like how the range was reduced quite a bit. That being said I love my cyberbeast and drive it all the time. It is my preferred truck to drive and I have two other diesel trucks.

Not that extreme of inflation. Elon basically lied to people that put a deposit down for a vehicle, what it was going to cost.

Were the deposits refundable?

Why is it such a long wait for one in the US then?

Yes

https://www.reddit.com/r/teslamotors/s/JELzYE6p1f Not true

Also https://www.reddit.com/r/teslamotors/s/2KR9qE5N5C

I can confirm. Cybertrucks sold like hot cakes overseas..

Meanwhile in Europe https://preview.redd.it/z3u8euop1dgg1.jpeg?width=900&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4b07e4b87259085811a51513d233772c091f28b6 .....

If it’s going to the UAE it won’t be cheaper but more expensive. They’ll make greater margins over there

This

In a year or two, the Cybertruck has just as much of a chance becoming discontinued and having its value soar as well.

200%?

Just sold my dodge 2500. Felt a little bad for them Knowing that one fill up of the Dodge is 5 full charges .

I hear ya. I still have my dad's old '97 Dodge Ram 2500, Cummins 12V. It has a 30 gallon tank for a 600 mile range - 20mpg hwy. Also my wife has a '21 Ram 2500 4x4 Cummins. Probably never sell the 97.

As intelligent as he is, Elon could not have foreseen crazy covid which caused hyperinflation. People were selling their used vehicles for more than they paid for them. It was a crazy time.

I didn't want 140 l+ fill up and it's not fun to drive.

That isn't hyperinflation, that is not understanding how much this was going to cost and the range they could realistically get with the vehicle. Since it was way more expensive, and way less range when officially released.

I guess your the only one that missed houses rising by 50% in most parts of the US and cars prices went crazy in '21-'23. Not saying that Tesla didn't have some internal issues that put costs more than expected even without inflation, but inflation was a huge factor. Fully loaded F150 platinum 4x4's are over $80K and even go into the $90k range today. I'm butt hurt the CT's range took a big hit, but the price of $79,900 isn't above market prices.

https://www.reddit.com/r/cybertruck/comments/187vvyz/reveal_vs_today_specs_updated_w_inflation/

You've made you point of being disappointed in Tesla for not keeping those prices. Like I mentioned, Tesla also had internal cost issues that caused it to be higher. Doesn't change the fact that the AWD model is priced less than a loaded platinum F150 4x4. It also is competitively priced with other premium trucks. It's 9K less than a standard pack Rivian R1T with only 533HP and 270 range. So despite everything your pointing out. The truck is a decent deal today (7 years later) compared to others today. I love mine.

Well, then they shouldn't be surprised when the sales they thought they were going to have, aren't there when the raise the prices considerably.
