Tesla To End Cybertruck Production By Mid 2027

Tesla is preparing to cease the production of its Cybertruck pickup. The company intends to wind down operations for this specific model by the middle of 2027.

Transition To Cybercab Manufacturing

The decision to stop making the Cybertruck is tied to the need for more space at Gigafactory Texas. The company plans to utilize this capacity to ramp up the manufacturing of the Cybercab. This strategic shift indicates a change in focus toward autonomous transport solutions.

Low Sales Volume And Capacity Gaps

Market demand for the unique pickup has fallen short of expectations. In the third quarter of 2026, sales were estimated at roughly 8,000 units. This figure is significantly lower than the facility’s annual production capacity, which exceeds 125,000 vehicles. The Cybertruck follows the Model S and Model X, both of which were discontinued earlier in the year due to similar market struggles.

Recent Price Hikes And Ordering Changes

Tesla has recently modified its ordering process and pricing for the US market. The entry-level version is no longer available for order. Meanwhile, the AWD model and Premium AWD version both saw price increases of $7,500, bringing their starting costs to $84,735 and $94,735 respectively. The Cyberbeast variant also became $2,500 more expensive, starting at $104,735. These changes follow a previous price increase in August 2026.

Trends In The Electric Truck Market

The exit of the Cybertruck reflects a broader trend in the electric pickup sector. Ford previously stopped producing the F-150 Lightning in 2025. This leaves the market open for other options such as the Rivian R1T and the Chevrolet Silverado EV, as well as the upcoming Ford Fathom.
