"We are sold out of CyberTruck Inventory!"
Elon Musk's Bold Fleet Buy Clears Stock Overnight
This is an exclusive story you find on ANY mainstream news, or automotive news sources, as they only spread FUD, but keep in mind you heard this here first, on Jake's Tesla World:
I took my good pal Ben for a drive in my JAKEeWRAP CyberTruck on Tuesday of this week.
So Ben climbs in my CyberTruck, and said "I am sold. This is the car for me!" I kind of thought maybe he was messing with me, but we took it for a drive on the most recent FSD 14.2.1.25, and he kept going on and on about how much he liked it, and how he wanted to get one, and wrap in with my JAKEeWRAP (pictured below), which he said he loved the look of. I was naturally stoked for him. That was earlier this week on Tuesday afternoon, and just for frame of reference, I am writing this on Friday morning of the same week, and already owns and is driving his CyberBeast!?!!

The next day, Ben calls me and says, "I ordered the CyberTruck and I am going out of state to pick it up tomorrow!?!!"
Then he tells me, there are zero AWD CyberTrucks available, and he could only find a new CyberBeast, and he was so stoked, he was going all in for the Beast! He then mentioned the lease price was $1,726 per month, as apposed to $726 per month for the AWD. This seemed like a crazy price delta to me. I immediately thought to myself, for $1,726 per month, you could get two AWD CyberTrucks, and have plenty of money left over every month to cover insurance and charging costs. Ben said, "I work really hard, and you only live once. I'm sold, and I don't mind having a Beast, and if not now, when?"
I then spoke with a Tesla salesperson I know, and they said, "We are sold out of inventory on Cybertrucks at this time."
Note: This is based on a report from one Tesla salesperson and anecdotal experiences; there is no official public confirmation from Tesla of zero Cybertruck inventory nationwide, but the fact there is a current 3-5 week wait on Tesla.com for AWD and CyberBeast very much supports this sold-out claim!
This surprised me, as I had recently read articles saying Tesla had over 10,000 unsold CyberTrucks in inventory. The image below appears courtesy of Arena EV, and shows a parking lot back in May of 2025, ironically in Detroit, that was filled with excess CyberTruck inventory.
I saw many different arial photos similar to this image online, that showed the same thing, most of which were accompanied by headlines that said things like "CyberTruck Sale Slow Down as Inventory piles up", or Fred Lambert's hateful Tesla hating Electrek title "Elon Musk's Space X bought tens of millions worth of Cybertrucks Tesla can't sell." FWIW, as a Tesla fanatic, I found these images to be awe inspiring and equally disturbing.
I did some research and it turns out that when Elon said he was planning to have his Space X, XAI, The Boring Company, and Tesla purchase CyberTrucks as service vehicles, he wasn't messing around, as he clearly followed through and did exactly what he said he would do.

If you want to purchase an AWD, or CyberBeast CyberTruck today, the current wait is 3-5 Weeks!?!! This came a a big surprise for me. I guess Elon wanted to finish the year of 2025 with very low CyberTruck inventory on hand, and certainly he achieved exactly that, which was a brilliant 5-D Chess move.
This is particularly interesting, since when I purchased my CyberTruck in late September, I discovered it had only been made earlier in the same month, and ironically when my Pal and I went to lunch on Monday of this week, and he ordered his CyberTruck the next day, and it turns out it was completed the day before we went to lunch, which was on Monday of this same week! This is significant evidence that really does suggest Tesla completely cleaned out all their previous inventory of CyberTrucks.
RESALE Value of CyberTrucks?
If you are a reader of TeslaMagazine.org, you know I intentionally waited two years before purchasing my AWD CyberTruck for reasons I discuss in detail in my previous article. That being said, when I was ready to purchase, I thought, since demand and resale pricing has fallen through the floor on all Tesla models, maybe I should try to purchase a used CyberTruck at a great price? I searched high and low, and scoured the internet, but the really strange thing I discovered, that made no sense at all, was that all the used CyberTrucks for sale were more expensive than purchasing a new AWD model at the time, which made zero sense to me.
I was so surprised, I mentioned it to a friend of mine who is a long time Tesla investor. My point is Elon somehow managed, through some kind of bizarre hyper-exotic Kung Fu maneuvers, to keep the resale value of CyberTrucks way higher than any other used Tesla models.
In other words, while the price of all other used Tesla models, including Models 3, Y, S and X, have fallen through the floor, which also doesn't make a lot of sense to me, the CyberTruck has done the exact opposite, despite the fact it's had the worst new sales performance, which I believe was due significantly to the way Tesla handled the CyberTruck pricing with their severe cash grab, which I also cover in detail in the previous article you can view below.
I was thinking about how Elon was able to completely save the resale value of the CyberTruck, and it's impressive!!!!!
So what does this mean for the future of CyberTruck supply and demand? Elon already announced that leasing prices would be going up after December 24, 2025, and my best guess is that Elon slowed down the CyberTruck production line to make it go as slowly as possible, while still being viable. Perhaps this is his way of coping with the lack of demand, and matching demand with supply in the future, which we know he is the king of. To be complete candid, I am almost at a loss for word, and don't really know what to make of all this, as it's so bizarre, but when you are the wealthiest man on earth, you certain can move mountains, or CyberTrucks...
Ben's CyberBeast
Ben is a close friend of Jake's Tesla World and he and I video taped his Model S (video below), when he first got it, and it appeared in my story I published back on July 14, 2021 titled "Thoughts on the Tesla Plaid & Long Range Model S 2021 Refresh with Historical Context."
Below are photos of Ben's CyberTruck he picked up this morning. Keep in mind, I showed Ben my freshly wrapped JAKEeWRAP CyberTruck on Tuesday afternoon of this week, and as I write this on Friday morning of the same week, he already picked up his CyberBeast and is driving it home!!!! This goes to show the heart wants what the heart wants, and many of the best purchases I have ever made, were for things I had to have and couldn't live without...Congrats Ben!!! The next step is Ben is taking it to Jay's Tint Shop in Kirkland to give his CyberBeast a complete JAKEeWRAP makeover!!!!
