Elon Musk once said the Cybertruck would be Tesla’s ‘best product ever.’ Now he’s winding down production
Cybertruck sales fell 48% between 2024 and 2025, according to an estimate by Cox Automotive’s Kelley Blue Book.
What it means
- What to watch: A 48% drop in production signals a shift, but don’t read too much into it just yet — trends can be fickle, and Musk’s words often outpace reality.
- How the stock is trading: $TSLA +4.37% in the latest session.
- Timing: It landed after the closing bell, so the session change beside it was locked in before the story existed. The next session is the first that could react.
Where the stock stands
$TSLA last traded at $358.72, +4.37% on the session. That puts it 28% shy of its 52-week high of $498.83 and 21% clear of its low of $297.38 — a little below the middle of the range. Over the year it has ranged 68% from low to high: a wide band — moves of several percent in a week come with the territory. These are latest-session quotes, not live prices — the live tape is on the $TSLA page.
How much coverage it is getting
In the last 30 days Wook has filed 136 stories about $TSLA — 24 of them this week. At its 30-day pace you would expect about 32 a week, so this week is quieter than usual. Across those stories the wording ran 15% bullish, 71% neutral and 14% bearish. This one reads neutral, so it sits in step with most of the run. 12 came from Fortune and the rest from other outlets — broad coverage, not one desk talking to itself. 12 related stories — same name or same desk — are lined up beside this one if you want the whole thread.
The bigger picture
Consumer spending hinges on wallets and confidence, but for Tesla, margins matter too — slashing prices to attract buyers can boost sales without hurting the bottom line. On Wook's supply-chain scanner, Consumer Discretionary reads calm today — no unusual stress in the filings and disclosures it watches. The scanner equivalent of a quiet night shift.

What to watch next
The $TSLA page has the full chart, the filings and the valuation model behind every figure here. Comparing how two or three outlets frame the same story is the fastest way to separate the facts from the angle. And Wook AI, up top, will happily do the math — how far $TSLA sits from its high, or how this week's coverage stacks up.
How this analysis was made
Fortune published it, and Wook filed it under Consumer & Retail. No strongly worded term either way, so it reads neutral at low severity — a factual headline rather than a charged one. It was matched to $TSLA. It carried 48%, shown as published and not recalculated. The preview above is the publisher's own wording.
The tone and severity labels come from a fixed word list — no editor, no AI, no crystal ball — so they describe how a story is worded, not what happens next. They are not a forecast or a recommendation, and a same-day move does not mean this story caused it. Not investment advice.
