Tesla plans to end Cybertruck production in 2027 to focus on Cybercab manufacturing
Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced plans to discontinue Cybertruck production in mid-2027. The company intends to redirect the freed-up capacity toward manufacturing autonomous Cybercabs.
Tesla plans to halt production of the Cybertruck electric pickup in mid-2027. The company announced this on social media platform X. Tesla aims to use the freed-up capacity at Gigafactory Texas to increase production of autonomous Cybercabs.
The Cybertruck remains the best-selling electric pickup on the market, but its sales have fallen short of Tesla’s initial expectations. One reason for this was changes in pricing policy: approximately four years passed between the model’s presentation and the start of deliveries, during which the company abandoned its previously announced price targets. As a result, production vehicles entered the market at a higher price, limiting potential demand.
The decision has sparked mixed reactions among Tesla enthusiasts. Some support reallocating resources to the Cybercab amid the company’s advancements in autonomous transportation and the Robotaxi platform. Others oppose discontinuing the pickup’s production.
Analyst Gary Black expressed hope that Tesla would develop a replacement for the Cybertruck—a traditional electric pickup. However, the company has not yet announced any plans to create a successor to the model.
