Elon Musk announced via tweet that Tesla will stop building the Cybertruck next year to free up production capacity for the upcoming Cybercab. Tesla had originally targeted annual production of 250,000 Cybertrucks but has sold only about 70,000 units since launch, with SpaceX among the largest buyers absorbing unsold inventory.
Elon Musk announced on X that Tesla will begin phasing out Cybertruck production at its Texas Gigafactory around mid-2027, freeing up capacity for the Cybercab robotaxi.

Elon Musk announced on X that Tesla will wind down Cybertruck production at Gigafactory Texas around mid-2026 to make room for increased Cybercab output. The vehicle, built exclusively at that plant due to its unique stainless steel body, sold fewer than 50,000 units despite Musk's claims of over a million reservations, with US sales down 28 percent year-over-year through the first three quarters of this year.

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.

Elon Musk announced on X that Tesla will wind down Cybertruck manufacturing at its Texas gigafactory around mid-2027, freeing up capacity for the newly launched Cybercab. US sales fell 48% year-over-year to 20,237 units in 2025, far short of Musk's earlier prediction of 250,000 annual sales.
Elon Musk said on X that Tesla will stop making the Cybertruck next year and repurpose the factory space to build more Cybercab robotaxis. The angular EV, launched in late 2023 with Musk's prediction of 250,000 annual sales, has sold only tens of thousands of units over three years.
Elon Musk confirmed on X that Tesla will wind down Cybertruck production at its Texas Gigafactory by mid-2027, freeing up capacity for the upcoming Cybercab robotaxi.
