Tesla is ending the Cybertruck

Tesla will wind down Cybertruck production in Texas around mid-2027, Musk says.

Musk announced on X on Friday that Tesla will wind down Cybertruck production at Gigafactory Texas around the middle of next year "to make room for increased Cybercab production," per CNBC and Wired. The Cybertruck is built exclusively at that plant, which also makes the Model Y and the two-seat Cybercab. Musk did not say whether the truck would be built at another facility. Replying to a user, he said the Cybertruck fleet "will be around for a long time."

Sales have trailed Musk's pre-launch prediction of 250,000 a year. Cox Automotive estimated 2025 US sales at 20,237 units, down 48% from 38,965 in 2024. Tesla does not break out sales by model.

Electrek reports Tesla also raised US Cybertruck prices by up to 10% and stopped taking orders for the base Dual Motor AWD trim, now listed at $82,490, up from $74,990.
