Tesla plans to cease producing the Cybertruck by mid-2027, according to its CEO Elon Musk. The decision comes as the company shifts its focus to scaling up production of its Cybercab model, a self-driving robotaxi unveiled in October 2024. Tesla's Texas gigafactory, its only known facility capable of manufacturing the specialised components for the Cybertruck, will now prioritize the production of the Cybercab.
Musk emphasized that the decision is not due to the Cybertruck's unprofitability, as some have reported, but rather the overwhelming complexity of building the truck outweighs the value of incremental Cybercab production. Last year, Tesla sold 20,237 Cybertrucks in the US, a 48% decrease from 38,965 units in 2024, falling short of Musk's initial prediction of 250,000 annual sales.
Despite selling the majority of its vehicles within the Model 3/Y segment, Tesla's focus is now moving towards autonomous vehicles, or robotaxis, with SpaceX continuing to purchase cybertrucks for its own operations.
