Tesla temporarily suspended production of Model Y and Cybertruck

Tesla has been in free fall for several months, and as a result, production of the Cybertruck and Model Y at its Texas factory has been temporarily halted. The news comes from employees who were given the option of taking seven days off or being assigned to cleaning and training duties.

The Model Y is the company’s best-selling car, and one of the best-selling cars in the world, but the new information could have a major impact on sales of the car. Production breaks are nothing new, but this time it’s a longer-than-usual break. Last year, workers on the Cybertruck assembly line were told to stay home for a few days, even though the Cybertruck outsold all other electric pickup trucks in the US. It’s clear that demand for the vehicle has waned after its initial boom.

Since its launch, Tesla has had high expectations for the Cybertruck, with the company saying it has received over 2 million reservations. The plan was to produce a quarter of a million units annually, but sales haven’t been on track. In 2024, Tesla sold just 38,965 Cybertruck units, while in Q1 this year it sold 6,406 units, which is significantly less than in the third and fourth quarters of 2024, when sales were twice as high.

The Cybertruck has been the target of attacks in recent months, and in several cases, customers have reported problems with the car. In February 2024, one owner reported corrosion on the stainless steel body. Of course, a stainless steel body will show imperfections over time, and Tesla also states in the Cybertruck user manual that steel panels are susceptible to corrosive substances when not washed regularly. However, the customer claimed that the corrosion occurred several days after he bought the car. Another owner said that he bought the Cybertruck on February 1st and that the corrosion appeared after 11 days and 613 kilometers. He contacted his service advisor but was told that Tesla had a procedure to fix the problem, but that the facility did not have the tools and had not previously performed repairs of this type.

In March 2025, Tesla recalled 46,000 Cybertrucks due to body parts falling off. The recall covered cars manufactured between November 13, 2023 and February 27, 2024, and the company believed that only 1% of these cars had the problem.

During the last year, Tesla recorded a drop in deliveries on the global market by 13 percent, which is the worst result in the last two years. In the United States, sales fell by 5.6 percent, while the overall auto industry saw sales grow by 7.3 percent.

Tesla Recalls 46,000 Cybertrucks Due to Body Panels Falling Off

Since its launch, Tesla has seen strong demand for the Cybertruck, with the company receiving around 2 million orders in a short period of time. However, customers soon began reporting problems with corrosion on the body, and now parts of the body are falling off. This forced the company to recall 46,000 Cybertrucks.

One of the most common problems with the Cybertruck is parts falling off, and the previous recall concerned the cargo area. There was also an issue with the gas pedal trim, which could slip off the metal.

Last week, a driver reported that the 2.74-meter-long stainless steel trim above the door had become loose. He reported the incident via the Tesla app, after which he was given an appointment for service. However, the next day, the body panel fell off. This happened on the highway while the Cybertruck was traveling at a speed of around 120 km/h.

The company has decided to recall 46,000 cars manufactured between November 13, 2023 and February 27, 2024, to fix a problem with body panels. Tesla believes that only 1 percent of the recalled vehicles may have this problem.

Tesla Cybertruck Widebody Billion Edition

Mexican company Billion Group, the first choice for exotic car owners looking for uncompromising quality and style, has unveiled a modified Tesla Cybertruck with a wide body kit.

On its Instagram profile @billionedition, the tuner posted several photos of the Tesla Cybertruck. The photos show that the stainless steel body is covered in a glossy black foil, which we can say doesn’t look bad on an electric pickup. The tuner added fender extensions, and on the passenger side there is a battery charging port, so the tuner probably had to extend some cables. Also on the front extensions are a pair of rear-facing cameras.

The new front bumper is positioned slightly lower than the standard Cybertruck, and the car also gets a new set of 26-inch aftermarket wheels in black, a large fixed rear spoiler, and new LED front lighting that features the Mexican tuner’s logo.

Tesla Cybertruck is powered by three electric motors with a total output of 805 hp (600 kW) and 1,033 lb-ft (1,400 Nm), which is enough to push the car to 62 mph in just 3 seconds with a top speed of 130 mph (209 km/h).

The price of the upgrade is not known.
