How many Cybertrucks did Tesla sell in Q3 2026? 'Other models' deliveries fall 48% to a five-year low

Model ·

Tesla delivered 8,295 vehicles outside the Model 3 and Model Y in the third quarter, the lowest since 2021. With the Model S and X gone, the Cybertruck makes up most of that figure, and it is still far below Tesla's original plans.

Tesla does not report Cybertruck sales on their own. It groups the pickup with every vehicle that is not a Model 3 or Model Y under "other models". That figure has now dropped to its lowest level in more than five years, and it tells us a lot about where the Cybertruck stands.

The official numbers

According to Tesla's third-quarter production and deliveries report, filed with the SEC:

  • Other models delivered: 8,295, down 48% from 15,933 a year earlier and down from 12,364 in the second quarter of 2026.
  • Other models produced: 7,004, down 40% from 11,624 a year earlier.
  • Model 3 and Model Y: 457,387 built and 478,237 delivered, for a total of 486,532 deliveries across all models.

Electrek notes that 8,295 is the lowest "other models" figure since the second quarter of 2021, when Tesla delivered just 1,890 Model S and Model X cars.

How much of that is Cybertruck?

Several vehicles share the "other models" bucket, but most of them barely count any more. Model S and Model X production ended in April 2026. Electrek estimates the remaining inventory, about 600 cars plus a final Signature run of 350, added only a few hundred deliveries. The Semi went into volume production on September 25, so its third-quarter deliveries are likely in the hundreds at most. It is unclear how Tesla counts the Cybercab.

Based on that, Electrek estimates Tesla delivered roughly 7,000 to 8,000 Cybertrucks in the quarter, a pace of about 30,000 a year. That is an estimate, not an official figure.

The longer trend

For comparison, here are Cox Automotive's estimates of US Cybertruck sales by quarter, as cited by Electrek:

  • Q3 2024: 14,416
  • Q4 2024: 12,991
  • Q1 2025: 6,406
  • Q2 2025: 4,306
  • Q3 2025: 5,385
  • Q4 2025: 4,140
  • Q1 2026: 3,519
  • Q2 2026: 3,744

Cox had not yet published its third-quarter number. Note that these sources measure different things, so the figures are not directly comparable. One more detail: S&P Global Mobility counted 7,071 Cybertruck registrations in the fourth quarter of 2025, and 1,339 of those went to SpaceX and other Musk companies.

The Cybertruck does still lead its small segment. In the second quarter of 2026, Cox put it ahead of the discontinued Ford F-150 Lightning (2,421), the Chevrolet Silverado EV (2,266) and the Rivian R1T (1,219). Electric pickups as a whole are simply selling far less than carmakers once hoped.

Far from the original plan

Tesla once planned to build 250,000 Cybertrucks a year, and its latest shareholder letter lists more than 125,000 units of installed capacity. At around 8,000 a quarter, output would be about 13% of the original plan. A cheaper dual-motor version started reaching customers in late June, but it has not changed the picture much.

Why it matters, and what to watch

The Cybertruck is not essential to Tesla's finances, which depend mostly on the Model 3, Model Y and, increasingly, energy storage. But it is Tesla's most visible recent product, and a factory line running far below capacity is costly. Watch for Cox's third-quarter estimate, any further price or trim changes, and Tesla's quarterly results on October 21, which may say more about the "other models" segment.
