Where a range is shown, those versions differ. Width is the body without mirrors, which is why it can read narrower than a brochure figure. Before we used it we checked it against the US manufacturer press kits we hold (27 Sep 2026): wheelbase agreed within 1% on every vehicle we could compare, length on 98%, and the curb weight fell inside the manufacturer's range on 96%.

Electrical System:Adas — FSD Collisions in Reduced Roadway Visibility Conditions open
The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) is opening this Engineering Analysis to evaluate Tesla’s Full Self Driving Beta and Full Self Driving (Supervised) (collectively, FSD) degradation detection system. The focus of this investigation will be to assess the system’s ability, when encountering reduced roadway visibility conditions, to detect degradation and alert the driver with sufficient time to respond. ODI will evaluate the performance of FSD in degraded roadway conditions and the updates or modifications by Tesla to the degradation detection system, including the timing, purpose, and capabilities of the updates, and Tesla’s assessment of their safety impact. Tesla’s FSD is an advanced

Electrical System:Adas — Traffic safety violations while Full Self Driving ("FSD") is engaged open
The Office of Defects Investigation (“ODI”) is opening this Preliminary Evaluation (PE) to assess the scope, frequency, and potential safety consequences of FSD executing driving maneuvers that constitute traffic safety violations. This investigation concerns versions of FSD that Tesla has labeled as "FSD (Supervised)" and "FSD (Beta)." Tesla characterizes FSD as an SAE Level 2 partial automation system requiring a fully attentive driver who is engaged in the driving task at all times. Level 2 partial automation systems are designed to support and assist the driver in performing certain aspects of the driving task, requiring a driver to supervise and intervene as necessary.

Whether any of this applies to one specific Cybertruck
A campaign covers a build range, not a model year, so two identical-looking cars from 2025 can differ. Both of these check a VIN against the manufacturer’s own list, free, in about ten seconds. Tesla publishes its own lookup because federal rule 49 CFR 573.15 requires it to, and to keep it current to within seven days.
Hear about a recall before the letter does
The manufacturer’s letter is the last step of a recall: it has up to 60 days after filing to mail owners, at the address on the registration. We email you the day NHTSA posts a recall on the 2025 Tesla Cybertruck, with what to do next. Nothing else, ever — no newsletter, no marketing, one-click unsubscribe in every message.

In owners' own words
Filed with NHTSA by the people who own these cars, one per problem area. Quoted as written, with anything identifying removed.
I own a 2025 Tesla Cybertruck AWD. The fixed lower rail beneath the front passenger seat has two exposed openings. On September 7, 2026, a metal key fell through one opening into an inaccessible enclosed area beneath the seat and floor structure. The key could not be seen or retrieved.
Interior factory component off-gassing causes a recurring residue film on the internal glass of the forward-facing camera, completely blinding the vehicle's primary safety systems and FSD.
The vehicle's rear structural Giga Casting sustained severe structural failure, exhibiting two distinct cracks following an impact. The vehicle and the damaged casting are fully available for inspection upon request at my current location/service center. The safety risk is extreme.
The contact owns a 2025 Tesla Cybertruck. The contact stated that while pulling into a charging station with the self-driving system activated, the vehicle stopped in front of the payment pole; however, the vehicle inadvertently accelerated through the barrier gate arm, and the arm was fractured.
My 2025 Tesla Cybertruck AWD (VIN: ) has a recurring failure of the right rear seat occupant detection system, which governs airbag deployment and is certified by Tesla to meet FMVSS 208.
HTSA Safety Complaint Description The 2025 Tesla Cybertruck exhibits a persistent and recurring air suspension system defect that impairs safe vehicle operation.

A report under the General Order is a notice the manufacturer or operator must file within days of hearing of a crash in which a Level 2 driver-assist or automated-driving system was engaged within 30 seconds of impact. It is filed before anything is verified, and entities with telematics hear of far more crashes than entities that rely on complaints, so counts say as much about the reporting as about the car and are not comparable across makes.

A service bulletin is the manufacturer telling its dealers how to diagnose or repair a known condition. It is not a recall, not a finding that the vehicle is defective, and the work is not automatically free — though a bulletin is often what a dealer works from when you describe a symptom, so quoting the document number can save a diagnosis. The count is every communication filed; the list shows the most recent, one entry per campaign, because a single campaign is usually filed as several documents on the same day. The summaries are NHTSA's; the full documents come from the manufacturer.

Electric vehicles get no emissions test in New York, so the safety inspection is the record here. First inspections only, so a car that failed and came back is counted once; private and special plates, not taxis, livery or commercial plates. A rate appears only where at least 200 inspections stand behind it. “Every 2025 vehicle” is every 2025 model-year car, SUV and pickup inspected in the same window, all makes.

NHTSA has posted 3 recall campaigns for the 2025 Tesla Cybertruck, 1 of them rated critical. The most serious on file is 26V255000, covering Wheels. Check your own VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls; a recall applies to specific build ranges, not every car.
How safe is the 2025 Tesla Cybertruck?
NHTSA gave the 2025 Tesla Cybertruck 5 stars overall in its New Car Assessment Program tests — 5-star frontal crash, 5-star side crash, 4-star rollover. WhichTrim also grades it C (76/100) on its recall record, which is a different question from crash protection.
What is the fuel economy of the 2025 Tesla Cybertruck?
Across the 3 EPA-rated configurations of the 2025 Tesla Cybertruck, the longest EPA range is 335 miles on a charge. Figures are the EPA's own, per configuration, and every one is listed above.
What are the dimensions of the 2025 Tesla Cybertruck?
Transport Canada measured it at 223.6 in long, 86.6 in wide (body, without mirrors), 70.5 in tall, on a 145.3 in wheelbase. Curb weight: 6,603–6,843 lb depending on configuration. Those are its measurements of the North American versions; every figure is in the table above.
What do owners complain about on the 2025 Tesla Cybertruck?
Owners have filed 25 complaints with NHTSA about the 2025 Tesla Cybertruck, most often about forward collision avoidance, lane departure, electrical system. Of those, 2 involved a crash, 2 reported injuries. Complaints are unverified owner reports, so treat the pattern as a signal and the individual report as an anecdote.
Are there service bulletins for the 2025 Tesla Cybertruck?
The manufacturer has filed 8 service bulletins and related communications with NHTSA for the 2025 Tesla Cybertruck, most often covering structure, power train, unknown or other. The most recent is dated 2026-08-14. A bulletin is not a recall: it is the repair procedure a manufacturer sends its dealers for a condition it knows about, and the work is not automatically paid for. It is still worth knowing — if the symptom matches, quoting the bulletin number at the service desk can save a diagnosis. The document numbers and summaries are listed above.
How does the 2025 Tesla Cybertruck do at state inspection?
In New York’s inspection lanes over the 12 months to Oct 10, 2026, the 2025 Tesla Cybertruck failed the safety inspection on 0.30% of first inspections — close to the 0.36% for every 2025 model-year vehicle inspected. The figures are New York State DMV’s own inspection records, first inspections only, and the table above sets each one against every vehicle of the same model year.
Is the 2025 Tesla Cybertruck better than the 2025 Ford F-150?
The Tesla Cybertruck wins clearly, 94.1 to 46.3, on fuel & range, safety. We publish a full side-by-side of the 2025 Tesla Cybertruck against the 2025 Ford F-150 — specifications by family, equipment feature by feature, safety record and ownership costs.

Sources & method
Safety Signal starts every model-year at 100 and subtracts points per open NHTSA recall campaign by severity: critical 15 (fire risk, park-outside or do-not-drive advisories), high 8 (brakes, steering, airbags, loss of drive power, structure, battery), moderate 6, minor 3 (software, labels, lighting fixed by an update). The most serious recall counts in full and each further one counts 85% of the one before, because a vehicle sold in millions is recalled more often than a rare one without being more dangerous — and because a flat subtraction bottomed the scale out, scoring a vehicle with 22 recalls within a point of one with six. A ≥ 90, B ≥ 80, C ≥ 70, D ≥ 60, otherwise F. Read it as what it counts: recall campaigns on the federal record, weighted by severity. The damping reduces the sales bias by roughly 40% but does not remove it: like our complaint counts, this is not normalized by how many were sold, so a best-seller still scores somewhat worse than an obscure model with the same real risk. NHTSA crash ratings, do-not-drive and park-outside advisories, and the crash, fire, injury and death counts in owner complaints are reported separately on every page and never blended into the letter — a vehicle can hold five stars and a poor letter at once, and where that happens we say so rather than leave you to notice. Because the scale subtracts from a clean sheet, a model year too new to have been recalled, complained about or bulletined scores full marks on an empty record; we label those grades provisional rather than present them as earned.
EPA figures come from fueleconomy.gov vehicle records. Recalls, complaints, investigations and crash ratings come from NHTSA's public flat files, refreshed nightly.
