Tesla Cybertruck has been put under siege ever since some trusted sources commenced internal leaks regarding the alleged deliberate decline in safety features that sacrificed quality and at the same garnered the customer’s disbelief.
A Source of the Crisis for a New Venture
Tesla Cybertruck was highly on an accelerating note, but now it has made a sudden and profound turnaround — not because of performance, range, or design, but via an internal leak which is set to disturb both consumers and stockholders. An inside report made by one of the staff members and circulated among Tesla groups just before June claims that some of the safety features planned for Cybertruck may have been curtailed in order to reduce the cost of production and accelerate the delivery process.
Even though this internal communication is only known to the involved parties, it has raised a storm in business and technology circles—especially against the backdrop of ongoing quality problems and surplus stocks of the Cybertruck.
Has Tesla Erased Vital Safety Elements?
According to the insider’s words, a specific variant of the Cybertruck was allegedly put through crash tests without the doors’ earlier proposed safety levels. These vital parts, designed to withstand side collisions with a large impact, were accordingly “deprioritized” to meet the very aggressive delivery targets of the mid-2025 period.
That confession has led to the emergence of a bitter argument as to whether it is true that Tesla has become the kind of company that is resorting to dishonesty and cutting corners just to be able to turn out as much product as they can — and whether the customers are actually the pre-ordered original design or if they are given a compromised version of the vehicle.
So far, it would solve the mystery of the constant customer complaints about the insufficiency of production, obvious welding imprecisions, panel misalignments and an odd noise on the highway, which Tesla had put down to production being normal and said nothing about it being defective.
Despite creating a buzz around itself at the very beginning, the sales of the Tesla Cybertruck reportedly started to slow down just recently. Many sources say that around 10,000 vehicles are still unsold; some cars are stuck in the parking lots and are waiting for quality checks of both technical and visual qualities. It is almost $800 million worth of immobile vehicles.
It is said that a growing number of unsold vehicles has led to the assumption of Tesla being in stealth mode in terms of slowing Cybertruck assembly to fix deeper manufacturing problems despite its public marketing that almost confirms the words “fully ramped”.
Customers Not Kept in the Loop
The first movers who pre-ordered the Cybertruck years ago now appear to be a bit disappointed. Some of them complained about having been offered a reduced version of the car or about the delays in product delivery that were not justified. Following rumors of safety trade-offs coming to light, trust seems to be more of the concern than the product functionalities for customers.
For a brand known for its nature of being transparent and innovative, a change in people’s perception like this one could indeed cause a brand to suffer from its reputation. Mostly when you are aware that the competition is not making headways with fewer problems projected in the whole market.
Turning Point for Tesla?
It is not just any single car; it has to do with the entire Tesla model of car production and its development. If the internal comments among the managers were about the compromising of the safety layers for the benefit of production speed, and the customers are not informed about these decisions, the consequences would definitely not be negligible.
The constant promotion of the new Tesla Cybertruck as solid, offbeat and the next big thing in EVs over the years will not suffice if consumer trust starts to evaporate through shadowed concessions. It would be the signal of the new, wary, and dubious Tesla customers era.
