Tesla will wind down production of the Cybertruck at its Texas factory around the middle of 2027, chief executive Elon Musk said on Friday, ending the run of a futuristic pickup that never lived up to its early promise.
Musk announced the decision in a post on X, writing that Tesla "will be winding down production of the Cybertruck at Gigafactory Texas around the middle of next year to make room for increased Cybercab production." The Cybercab is Tesla's purpose-built self-driving taxi.
Musk did not give a firm end date, say how many more trucks will be built, or say whether production will move to another plant. Gigafactory Texas is the only factory that builds the Cybertruck.
The truck has struggled since it went on sale in late 2023. Tesla has issued 11 recalls for the Cybertruck, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, including a 2025 recall of more than 46,000 trucks over stainless-steel trim that could detach while driving. Tesla does not report Cybertruck sales separately.
Two weeks earlier, Tesla told reservation holders in Australia and New Zealand that plans to sell the truck there had been discontinued, cancelling reservations with full refunds. The truck never went on sale in Europe because it did not meet safety standards.
Tesla's project lead, Wes Morrill, said the company will maintain spare parts and service support for existing Cybertruck owners.
