Elon Musk pulls the plug on Cybertruck with all production to end next year

Elon Musk announced that Tesla will wind down Cybertruck production at its Texas Gigafactory, with CBC News reporting the process will occur around mid-2027. The decision follows years of weak sales for the model, which Musk had previously described as Tesla's best product. Both The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald noted that the move comes as the electric vehicle maker shifts its focus toward building robotaxis.

According to KahawaTungu, Musk stated the wind-down is intended to "make room" for more production of the self-driving Cybercab. While Musk did not explicitly state if production would stop entirely or move to a different location, project lead engineer Wes Morrill suggested on X that the vehicle is being discontinued. The Korea Times noted that the Austin plant is currently the only known Tesla facility equipped to manufacture the vehicle.
