Musk says Tesla will wind down Cybertruck production next year
Elon Musk said in a post on X that Tesla "will be winding down production of the Cybertruck at Gigafactory Texas around the middle of next year" to make room for more production of its Cybercab robotaxi. He called the Cybertruck the "best vehicle Tesla has ever made" and the move the "end of an era." It was not immediately clear whether production would move elsewhere. Kelley Blue Book estimates U.S. Cybertruck sales fell 48% in 2025 to 20,237. The truck was unveiled in 2019 and first deliveries began in late 2023.
