Tesla plans to wind down Cybertruck production at its Texas plant around mid-2027. Elon Musk said the production space will be freed up for the Cybercab robotaxi. This is reported by CNBC.
Tesla Cybertruck production: capacity to be handed over to robotaxi
The Tesla chief wrote about the decision on social network X on Friday, November 6. Currently, the electric pickup is manufactured exclusively in Texas, where the Model Y and the two-seat Cybercab are also produced.
Musk did not specify whether Cybertruck assembly will be moved to another site. The company also did not provide an immediate response to CNBC's request.
"The Cybertruck fleet will be with us for a long time to come," Musk wrote in response to a user who called the winding down of production the end of an era.
Deliveries of the pickup to buyers began in late 2023. Before the launch, Musk predicted that annual sales would eventually reach 250,000 vehicles.
Tesla Cybertruck sales: 48% drop in the US
According to Cox Automotive estimates, 20,237 Cybertrucks were sold in the US in 2025 versus 38,965 a year earlier. The decline was 48%. Tesla itself does not publish separate sales figures for each model and region.
One of the buyers in 2025 was SpaceX. According to its financial statements, the company spent $131 million on purchasing pickups at Tesla's recommended retail prices.
The Cybertruck also had a number of quality issues. According to the US regulator NHTSA, 11 voluntary recall campaigns were announced for 2024 model year vehicles. Among the causes were the risk of the accelerator pedal sticking, software malfunctions and an inverter defect capable of causing a loss of propulsion.
