Siddhant Awasthi, the executive in charge of Tesla's Cybertruck program, announced his departure from the company on November 10, 2025, after an eight-year tenure. Awasthi, who announced the news via a LinkedIn post, had a history of working on several key projects at Tesla, including the Model 3 and the Shanghai Gigafactory before leading the Cybertruck's development and launch. His exit comes as the Cybertruck faces a difficult market with sales falling short of initial expectations. The electric pickup has been a polarizing product since its unveiling, and Tesla has reportedly struggled with production scaling and various recalls since its launch in late 2023. There was no immediate market reaction analysis available regarding Awasthi's departure.
