Tesla Cybertruck Production Ends in 2027: Musk Confirms Wind-Down as Sales Stall at 10% of Plan

Tesla Cybertruck production ends in 2027. Elon Musk confirmed on November 6, 2026 that Tesla will wind down production of the Cybertruck at Gigafactory Texas around the middle of next year, to make room for increased production of the Cybercab robotaxi. It comes after sales settled at roughly a tenth of the volume Tesla planned for. About 71,000 Cybertrucks have been sold since deliveries began in late 2023, against a line built for 250,000 a year.

Tesla Cybertruck Production Ends: What Elon Musk Actually Said

Musk made the announcement in a single sentence posted on X on November 6: "Tesla will be winding down production of the Cybertruck at Gigafactory Texas around the middle of next year to make room for increased Cybercab production." He gave no final build date or last order date, and no word on whether production could move to another Tesla factory. The Texas line that builds the Cybertruck will be converted to build the Cybercab instead.

The timing was refined in follow-up reports. On November 7, Reuters reported that Musk said Tesla would add an extra production shift to fulfil outstanding orders before the Texas line is dismantled for Cybercab expansion around June or July 2027. On November 11, Electrek and CBS News reported that Musk had extended the planned horizon through the end of summer 2027.

Cybertruck Sales: The Numbers Behind the Decision

Tesla built its Texas line for 250,000 trucks a year. The reality has been very different. Cox Automotive estimates Tesla sold 38,965 Cybertrucks in the United States in 2024, 20,237 in 2025, and 11,586 in the first nine months of 2026, about 70,800 in total. Tesla groups the Cybertruck with the Model S, Model X and Semi under "Other Models", which managed only 8,295 deliveries in the third quarter of 2026, down 48 percent on a year earlier.

Put simply, the truck is selling at roughly a tenth of the annual volume Tesla planned for. US sales in early 2026 were estimated at 3,519 in the first quarter and 3,744 in the second, down sharply from 14,416 in the third quarter of 2024.

• First Cybertruck deliveries: December 2023.
• Total sold since launch: about 71,000, according to industry estimates.
• Planned annual production: 250,000 units.
• US sales: 38,965 in 2024; 20,237 in 2025; 11,586 in January to September 2026 (Cox Automotive estimates).
• Production wind-down: around mid-2027 at Gigafactory Texas.

What Happens to Cybertruck Owners and Reservation Holders

Existing owners have the clearest reassurance. Wes Morrill, the engineer who led the Cybertruck project, said on X that Tesla will maintain spare parts and continue service support for the truck. Tesla has not said for how long that support will last.

Tesla's US configurator has already greyed out the cheapest version, the Dual Motor All-Wheel Drive. As of November 6, the Premium All-Wheel Drive was listed at $92,490 and the Cyberbeast at $102,490. In Australia and New Zealand, Tesla has discontinued plans to sell the Cybertruck and cancelled reservations on October 23, 2026. Reuters reported on November 9 that Musk said Tesla expects to return deposits to many reservation holders.

Why the Cybercab Is Taking the Cybertruck's Place

The Cybercab is Tesla's purpose-built autonomous taxi: a two-seater with scissor doors and no steering wheel or pedals. Tesla's second-quarter 2026 update reported that Cybercab production had already begun at Gigafactory Texas. Musk's announcement makes the strategy explicit: the factory space now building Cybertrucks will be handed over to the robotaxi, a bet that the company's future is selling rides rather than pickups.

What to Do If You Have a Cybertruck Reservation

1. Check your Tesla account for the latest status of your reservation and any message from Tesla about deposits or delivery timing.
2. If Tesla contacts you about a deposit refund, read it carefully: Reuters reported refunds are expected for many, not necessarily all, reservation holders.
3. If you still want a new Cybertruck, look at the Premium All-Wheel Drive and Cyberbeast while they remain orderable.
4. If you are in Australia or New Zealand, check for Tesla's cancellation message about your reservation, sent in late October 2026.
5. Watch for Tesla's announcement of a confirmed final order date, which Musk has not yet given.

Tesla Cybertruck Production Ends: Frequently Asked Questions

The Cybertruck will be remembered as one of the most talked-about vehicles of its decade: a stainless-steel pickup that broke the internet at its unveiling in 2019, then never sold in the numbers Tesla planned. Its production ends in 2027 with a factory conversion, as Tesla bets its future on the driverless Cybercab. For owners, parts and service support continue; for buyers, the window to order a new one is closing fast.
