Tesla Announced the End of Cybertruck Production

Tesla will wind down Cybertruck production in mid-2027, and it has already extended the run by a few months. Here is what Tesla has said so far and what it means if you own a Cybertruck or want one.

Elon Musk announced on X that Tesla will wind down Cybertruck production at Giga Texas around the middle of 2027 to focus the factory on Cybercab, its two-seat robotaxi. Giga Texas is the only plant that builds the Cybertruck, which Tesla unveiled in 2019 and began delivering to customers in late 2023.

In follow-up posts, Musk added detail. He said Tesla would keep building the truck for another eight or nine months, with the line coming down around June or July 2027. He also explained that keeping the Cybertruck going takes a production line, supply chain, and engineering team that Tesla would rather put toward scaling Cybercab.

Owners were quick to ask about support. When someone asked whether trucks already on the road will keep getting it, Cybertruck lead engineer Wes Morrill replied on X:

“Yes, of course! Tesla will maintain spare parts and service will continue support”

Morrill also called the Cybertruck an incredible technology development platform, thanked the people who built it, and said its technology will live on through Cybercab.

Orders picked up after the announcement. Musk said the order backlog is much larger than Tesla can build before the line comes down, so Tesla is adding an extra shift to try to finish every order.

Tesla does not report Cybertruck sales separately, but Cox Automotive estimates show US sales climbing each quarter this year, from 3,519 in the first quarter to 3,744 in the second and 4,323 in the third, though still below last year’s pace. October brought an estimated 1,914 trucks, the best month in more than a year, at an average price of $92,380. 

Pricing and availability have changed quickly too. Tesla raised prices and paused orders for the base Dual Motor AWD. The Premium AWD rose $7,500 to $92,490, and the Cyberbeast rose $2,500 to $102,490. Tesla then closed Premium AWD orders as well and raised the Cyberbeast another $7,500 to $109,990. That leaves the Cyberbeast as the only truck still open for orders, and Tesla’s order page shows deliveries estimated for March to June 2027. Musk also said Tesla would need to refund deposits for many reservation holders, since orders far exceed what it can build before the line comes down.

Tesla has since extended the run. Musk now says it will keep building the Cybertruck through the end of summer 2027 to work through more of the order backlog, which adds roughly two to three months to the earlier plan. Tesla has not set a final order date.

Unplugged Performance, a well-known Tesla tuner, also weighed in. It publicly offered to take over Cybertruck production with investor backing and develop two new vehicles. It is unclear whether that could happen.

For the next several months, Giga Texas will be building both vehicles. Cybercab, the two-seat robotaxi with no steering wheel or pedals, has been running in Texas, including Austin and Dallas, and Tesla has said it plans to start selling it to customers by the end of 2026. The factory’s focus is already moving in that direction.
