Mansory Transforms the Tesla Cybertruck – for Better or Worse?
While the Tesla Cybertruck has achieved impressive global sales, there's no denying its ability to command attention on the road. Whether it's been compared to a garbage container or praised for its daring, unprecedented design, the Cybertruck has always sparked debate. However, with Mansory's modifications, the vehicle has become even more eye-catching—reaching what our Arab GT team considers its worst iteration yet.
Before diving into the details, it's worth recalling a well-known economic principle: 'If tastes didn't vary, goods would sell out instantly.' This saying perfectly applies to both the Cybertruck and most of Mansory's custom creations.
Mansory Strikes Again: Meet 'Elongation'
Take a look at Elongation, the official name for Mansory's modified Cybertruck. After closely examining the images, it's likely that most people will agree on at least one thing—this version might just be the most controversial Cybertruck yet.
A Closer Look at Mansory's Modifications
The transformation begins with redesigned front and rear bumpers, now featuring an array of spoilers, vents, and diffusers. These aggressive enhancements are complemented by side sills and widened fenders crafted from carbon fiber, along with carbon fiber mirror covers.
The electric truck also receives a vented carbon fiber hood, while fake air vents have been added to the C-pillars. And, of course, no Mansory build would be complete without compact carbon fiber spoilers adorning the rear.
Up front, Mansory has replaced a large section of the Cybertruck's fascia with a carbon fiber panel, housing an illuminated Mansory emblem at its center. The tailgate hasn't been entirely swapped out for carbon fiber, but a layered section with additional Mansory lighting has been added. Above the windshield, an LED light bar introduces yet another carbon fiber touch. Rounding out the exterior upgrades, the truck now rides on 26-inch alloy wheels, meticulously finished to mimic the look of carbon fiber.
A Glimpse Inside the Cabin
Stepping inside, the interior is a mix of gray and white, highlighted with yellow accents. Though Mansory hasn't confirmed it, it appears that carbon fiber pedals are present, alongside carbon fiber door sill plates. The perforated leather upholstery follows an abstract pattern, giving the cabin a distinct character.
Mansory's branding is prominently displayed throughout, though the company assures buyers that full customization options are available. If you're considering placing an order, we'd be happy to assist you in selecting the ideal configuration.
There's no question that the Mansory Elongation Tesla Cybertruck is a head-turner—though whether that's for better or worse is up for debate.

Steel Strength Turns Into a Standstill for Tesla Cybertrucks
When Elon Musk first introduced the Cybertruck with its bold stainless steel body, it was hailed as a revolutionary leap in automotive design—a truck from the future. Yet just under two years after production began, that future seems to have stalled. Thousands of gleaming Tesla Cybertrucks now sit untouched in Tesla lots across the U.S., waiting for owners who haven't come. Mounting Inventory Raises Red Flags The scale of unsold inventory has raised serious concerns. As of May 5, 2025, Electrek reported over 10,000 Tesla Cybertrucks sitting in storage—up drastically from 2,400 at the close of Q1 2024. These idle vehicles represent a staggering $200 million in unsold stock. Sales dropped sharply, with Q1 2025 figures showing just 6,406 units sold, a 50% plunge from the previous quarter's 12,991, according to Forbes. Tesla once projected annual Cybertruck sales would reach 250,000 units. Now, experts doubt whether even 20,000 will be delivered this year. The 2025 Cybertruck All-Wheel Drive carries a global starting price of $79,990 (SAR 299,962), while the limited Foundation Series pushes that figure to $99,990 (SAR 374,962). But with demand tapering off, Tesla has been forced to slash prices by as much as $10,000 (SAR 37,500) and offer low-interest financing in a bid to spark interest. Even so, the market response has been lukewarm. Prices on the secondhand market have plummeted by roughly 55%, deflating hopes among early speculators. Stainless Steel: More Hype Than Help? The Cybertruck's signature 'Ultra-Hard 30X' stainless steel frame gives it an unmistakable futuristic identity—but also presents a host of real-world challenges: The surface is prone to visible scratches and fingerprints, requiring constant upkeep. With some versions weighing over 3.1 tons, the truck faces range limitations and higher insurance and licensing costs. Collision repairs are complex, as few service centers are equipped to handle unpainted stainless steel welding. Reliability Issues Shake Confidence Tesla's quality control struggles have only deepened the crisis. A series of high-profile recalls have rocked the Cybertruck's launch: In April 2024, nearly 3,900 units were recalled over stuck accelerator pedals. Over 11,600 vehicles were called back for windshield wiper motor defects. March 2025 saw a massive recall of 46,000 Tesla Cybertrucks over potential detachment of the roof side panels while driving. Though Tesla repaired the issues at no cost to owners, repeated recalls have dented public trust and made rental companies wary of adding Cybertrucks to their fleets. A Market of Fierce Rivals Meanwhile, competitors are charging ahead. Ford's F-150 Lightning and Rivian's R1T continue to lead EV truck sales, while the upcoming Ram 1500 REV and BYD Shark are set to undercut Tesla on price and offer longer range. Adding to the pressure, Tesla recently lost its position as the global EV sales leader to China's BYD in Q1 2025. The once-exclusive appeal of the Cybertruck is now under serious threat. Tesla has pledged to adjust production volumes, offer complimentary software upgrades, and possibly roll out its delayed 'Long Range' edition in early 2025. But analysts warn that the challenges go beyond specs and price. From its polarizing design to lagging customer confidence and stiffening competition, the Tesla Cybertrucks faces a multi-front battle.

It's expected that essential systems like four-wheel steering and drive-by-wire remain present even in this base variant. Customers can also personalize the truck with optional extras.

Other upgrades include under-seat storage, a sunshade, and floor mats starting at just $300. Full Self-Driving capability can be added for $8,000.
