Tesla will end Cybertruck production in mid-2027

Elon Musk announced on Friday that Tesla will "wind down" Cybertruck production at its Texas factory around the middle of 2027 to make room for Cybercab robotaxi production. According to Electrek, the pickup sells at about a tenth of plan.

According to Musk, production at Gigafactory Texas will end around the middle of next year, about three and a half years after first deliveries, to increase Cybercab output. Tesla has not said how long it will keep selling inventory or what happens to parts and service for existing owners.

Tesla does not report Cybertruck deliveries separately, but under "Other Models." That category delivered 8,295 vehicles in Q3 2026, down 48% year over year. Electrek estimates 7,000 to 8,000 of them were Cybertrucks, a pace of about 30,000 a year, compared with a line planned for 250,000 units a year and more than 125,000 units of installed capacity by Tesla's own count.

Cox Automotive estimates US sales of 3,519 trucks in Q1 2026 and 3,744 in Q2, down from 14,416 in Q3 2024. Tesla tried to revive demand with cheaper trims and raised the price by $5,000 in August. After the announcement, it raised Cybertruck prices by up to 10%.

Electrek questions the explanation: the Texas factory has more than 10 million square feet, the Cybertruck line runs at about a quarter of installed capacity, and 463 Cybercabs were registered in Texas as of late October. The site puts total deliveries at about 70,000 trucks in roughly three years. Earlier this year Tesla ended Model S and Model X production to make room for Optimus.
