Tesla makes a new desperate move of Cybertruck in the form of stock oscillations

Tesla seems to launch one more salvo in her attempt to stimulate sales and popularity of cybertrucks, saying that this week, she will now offer the model on a new international market.
The company announced its launch of South Korea with a regional brand on X, linking an official declaration on the best application in Korea, Naver. This decision highlights Tesla’s intention to consolidate its presence in Asia, where the demand for high -end electric vehicles continues to grow.
Interestingly, Tesla also seems to try to rename the Cybertruck: Korean launch positions Cybertruck as a simple utility vehicle, but rather a high -end futuristic product which is a “symbol of luxury status”.
This marketing pivot can be adapted to the market concerned with the style of South Korea and warned of technology, where innovation and striking design are very appreciated.
A key element in the offer of a luxury brand? Ensure that it has a rarity and an animated competition. Orders of South Korean Cybertruck are now collected in the strict window between August 29 and September 4, with deliveries expected later this year.
Unlike the initial deployment of the United States, buyers in Korea receive no special package, but the price of the vehicle is about $ 100,000. This is slightly above American prices, a boost which, according to the company, is mainly due to the expedition and the prices of Giga Texas.
Is Cybertruck officially a bust?
The rocky history of Cybertruck continued its downward trajectory as the year developed, underlined by a dive of 50% of sales compared to last year. From now on, rebranda as a different type of vehicles abroad and overwhelming resale values ​​continue to question its long -term perspectives.
It didn’t start this way.
Unveiled in 2019 with window and indestructibility window claims, boys on the market and Tesla fans had great hopes of the futuristic truck. But vehicle production delays and disappointing market performance was clear signs that he had trouble meeting media threshing. Despite the buzz, in the second quarter of 2025, Tesla only sold 4,300 units, a sharp decline which reflects the enthusiasm of consumers.
The model has also been affected by a number of quality and recall problems. In March, American regulators published a reminder for almost all Tesla cybertrucks currently on the road, marking the eighth recall since deliveries started just over a year ago.
This recall was aroused by the concerns that an outdoor stainless steel band – known as the Cant rail – which takes place along the sides of the windshield can be detached during driving. Detachment represents a serious risk of security, increasing the risk of debris to hit other vehicles and cause accidents, said NHTSA officials.
Tesla spends time at the national level
Meanwhile, in the United States, Tesla faces assembly challenges.
Society’s efforts to relaunch its actions formerly scoring took on a certain momentum, stimulated by signs that American interest rates could soon be reduced. But he continues to face contradictory opposite winds on the different parts of his activities and how good everyone is.
Only today, Tesla’s actions (TSLA) whipped all day, while traders were trying to digest the news that weekly registrations in China have dropped and have prices in the excitation concerning a major expansion of its autonomous drawing service in Texas.
Tesla’s shares have earned more than 30% this year, driven by optimism about its AI investments and its ambitions as autonomous vehicles. However, the company remains under investor control in the middle of downward sales in China and perceived overvaluation.
The expiration of the federal tax credit on October 1 added a certain emergency to last -minute buyers, Tesla strongly promoting the savings and its autonomous characteristics.
We followed the high collectives in the technological sector and the bottom up this week: after the recent remarks of the Fed chair, Jerome Powell, the actions increased and Bitcoin exceeded $ 114,700, and Ethereum climbed to almost $ 4,600. This led some traders to look towards an imminent change towards a drop in borrowing costs, which could still swell risk assets.
Will Cybertruck survive?
While Tesla tries a global expansion and sets up the wave of market optimism, the real test for cybertruck visions – and Elon Musk, more and more stratospheric – is in advance.
Will the recent rally support once the government incentives are disappearing and the initial beating is fading? For the moment, the future of the vehicle remains uncertain, the criticisms wondering if the cybertruck was never intended to keep its science fiction promises.
