They are kind of public:

Tesla sold 20,237 Cybertrucks in 2025, down from 38,965 the previous year, according to figures from Kelley Blue Book's annual electric vehicle (EV) sales reports.

Yes kind of, but that's not the same as being public, but a report based on 3rd party information.

The official Tesla Cybertruck numbers are bunched together with Model S and Model X.
Which is also why the very poor sales of the cheaper model is news.

Didn’t they also run some giant sales scam in Canada to fraudulently claim tax credits for fake EV sales? Where they were claiming dealerships were selling like 200 cars a day?

Yes indeed they did, and Tesla came under investigation and the tax deductions were withdrawn as fraudulent.
I am not aware of the result of the investigation, but I bet Tesla would have advertised it if they were cleared.

i could be mistaken but wasn't this one of several investigations into Musk owned companies which was halted after the inauguration?

There were so many investigations against tech bros stopped in 2025, it's hard to keep it all straight.

There were allegedly investigations into Tesla in USA too, that were stopped by Trump and the Musk DOGE program.
But this has nothing to do with the obvious fraud they did in Canada.
