GoKawiilTesla to end Cybertruck production in mid-2027, Musk says
Elon Musk announced on social media that Tesla will stop building the Cybertruck by mid-2027, freeing up factory space likely for additional Cybercab production. The angular stainless-steel pickup was unveiled in 2019 with a promised sub-$40,000 price and sales volumes comparable to the Model 3 and Y, targets it never came close to meeting.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The decision marks an unusually public retreat from one of Musk's most hyped product bets, suggesting the vehicle failed to find the mass-market demand Tesla projected. Reallocating production capacity to the Cybercab could indicate Tesla is prioritizing its robotaxi ambitions over niche consumer vehicles, though Tesla has not detailed what replaces the Cybertruck line beyond Musk's social media remarks.
- Cybertruck production will end by mid-2027, according to Elon Musk.
- The factory space is expected to go toward Cybercab production instead.
- The truck never met its original sub-$40,000 price or high-volume sales goals.
