Elon Musk said Tesla is winding down Cybertruck production to make room for Cybercab manufacturing at its Texas Gigafactory by mid-2026. Musk claimed outstanding orders exceed Tesla's ability to build the trucks, meaning deposits for many buyers would be refunded. Tesla has delivered just over 70,000 Cybertrucks total, far short of the 250,000 preorders claimed in 2019 and Musk's earlier promise of a quarter-million annual production rate.

Elon Musk announced Tesla will phase out Cybertruck manufacturing by the middle of 2027. Musk said the decision is unrelated to the vehicle's profitability, framing it instead around other, unconventional reasons tied to planned refunds for many existing orders. The announcement came during a week in which Tesla and SpaceX shares also declined following the midterm elections.

Elon Musk said Tesla will halt Cybertruck production in roughly eight months, trying to build as many trucks as possible before then, and will refund deposits to many reservation holders. Musk said the move isn't due to unprofitability but because factory space and resources are better used making Cybercab robotaxis. Despite about 1 million reservations once claimed, industry estimates put total Cybertruck sales at around 71,000 since late 2023.
