GoKawiilTesla owners react to Cybertruck production halt set for mid-2026
Elon Musk said on X that Tesla will stop building the Cybertruck at Gigafactory Texas around mid-2026, citing plans to ramp up production of self-driving Cybercabs instead. Musk indicated Tesla may need to refund deposits for buyers still waiting on orders, since demand has outpaced supply. Owner communities, including a Facebook group with over 82,000 members, report confusion and distress over the news.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The move caps a troubled run for the Cybertruck, which industry watchers link to weak sales, delayed deliveries, high prices, multiple recalls, and Musk's political profile, though Tesla has not confirmed these as reasons. Uncertainty over refunds and parts availability could affect owner trust in Tesla's long-term support for its vehicles, while some owners speculate the truck may become a collector's item.
