Dropper Cybertruck

Tesla plans to cease production of the Cybertruck at its Texas factory around the middle of next year, according to CNBC citing a post by Tesla CEO Elon Musk on X. The Texas plant is the only one manufacturing the pickup. Musk did not specify whether Tesla would relocate production. The Cybertruck will be used to increase production of the two-seat Cybercab robotaxi, Musk highlighted it as a decisive product for the company moving forward.

A user on X described the news as the end of an era, calling the Cybertruck the best car Tesla has ever made. Musk responded on X that this is true, but Cybertruck cars will be around for a long time, according to CNBC. Tesla began delivering Cybertrucks later in 2023. Initially, Musk had forecasted that annual sales would reach 250,000 vehicles annually.

However, sales have been lower than Musk predicted, CNBC reported. According to estimates from Cox Automotive, Tesla sold 20,237 Cybertrucks in the U.S. last year, a 48% drop from 38,965 sold in 2024. Tesla does not disclose sales figures broken down by model or region. Tesla has not commented on CNBC's request for a response when the article was published.

Production of the Cybercab was already underway in Texas when E24 reported the move in July. Tesla had earlier projected that the robotaxi would roll out in Phoenix and Las Vegas in the first half of the year, but clarified in July that preparations were still ongoing. Tesla had simultaneously shut down the Model S and Model X production lines in Fremont, where the company would install lines for Optimus robot production.
