Tesla will wind down the Cybertruck around mid-2027, about three and a half years after the first deliveries came out in 2023. Elon Musk himself gives the timing and the reason for the move in an X post:
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
Gigafactory Texas is the only plant where Tesla’s Q3 filing lists Cybertruck capacity, so this ends the truck’s production entirely, not just one line. That space will reportedly go to the Cybercab, Tesla’s two-seat robotaxi with no steering wheel or pedals. It started carrying riders in Austin on September 3rd, and TechCrunch says Tesla plans to take it to Dallas later in November.
The Cybertruck is the third model to lose its factory space this way. Tesla decommissioned the Model S and X lines at its Fremont factory this year to build Optimus humanoid robots, and the filing says Optimus production has now started there.
The same filing lists installed capacity of more than 125,000 Cybertrucks a year, and as many Cybercabs. Tesla doesn’t break out Cybertruck output, but its “other models” count, every passenger vehicle sold to customers that isn’t a Model 3 or Y, came to 7,004 built in the third quarter. That’s a pace of about 28,000 a year, under a quarter of capacity even if every one was a Cybertruck.
Tesla talked about its Texas plant as the “Cybertruck factory” before construction began, and Musk predicted around 250,000 sales a year when the first trucks went out in late 2023. Tesla has sold only tens of thousands in total since – about 70,000 units specifically.
During the 2019 Cybertruck reveal, Musk promised a price under $40,000 (about Php 2.5 million) and up to 500 miles of range. But as mentioned earlier, it only arrived two years later in 2023 at around $60,000 (about Php 3.8 million), with a top range more than 100 miles short.
For now, it seems that you can still order one. Tesla’s US site lists the Cybertruck from $82,490 (about Php 5.2 million) for the Dual Motor to $102,490 (about Php 6.5 million) for the Cyberbeast. Of course, buyer beware.
