Tesla withdraws 46,000 Cybertruck vehicles

“Withdrawal includes just over 46,000 vehicles produced from November 2023 to February 27, 2025 – according to a document submitted by Tesla in the National Road Safety Administration (NHTSA), which is referred to by the Reuters agency.

Although Tesla does not provide detailed data on Cybertruck, according to analysts, the service action will cover most models that travel on American roads. As Reuters notes, this is another return of this model to websites.

“This withdrawal may prove to be a problem for Tesla, whose shares have lost about half of the value this year. The manufacturer of electric vehicles is struggling with growing competition, an aging model offer and controversies related to the role of President Elon Musk, who is the adviser to President Donald Trump and supervises cuts in federal expenses” – emphasizes Reuters.

“Tesla withdraws cars due to the risk of falling off the external panel from stainless steel, which can pose a threat on the road and increase the likelihood of an accident” – explained in the communiqué.

Fiorani himself from the research company Autoforecast pointed out that “the withdrawal of all production because of something as simple as the body panels shows that Tesla has quality problems, which she managed to avoid for years.” “You work for the reputation for years, but you can lose it in the blink of an eye,” he added.

The demand for this unusual electric vehicle at the end of the year showed signs of weakening. Analysts also indicate a change in the brand's attitude, both among existing customers and potential buyers. This can be seen in reactions such as protests in Tesla showrooms throughout the United States or Boykota Sales.

“In 2024, Tesla was at the forefront of the list of withdrawals in the United States, from 5.1 million vehicles reported for repair,” according to Bizzycar's data, which is referred to by Reuters. However, most of the problems in this brand's cars were usually solved remotely using software update.
