Tesla plans to wind down Cybertruck production at Gigafactory Texas around the middle of 2027, CEO Elon Musk announced in a Nov. 6, 2026, post on X. His stated reason: making room for increased Cybercab production.
That is a Texas production plan, not an explicit announcement that Tesla will stop making Cybertrucks everywhere. In its Nov. 6 report, Reuters left open whether production would move to another facility or be phased out entirely. Reuters described the Austin plant as the only known Tesla facility equipped to manufacture the pickup’s specialized components.
A difficult run for the pickup
The Cybertruck was unveiled in 2019 and went on sale in 2023, Forbes reported. It has since faced multiple recalls and quality-control issues, while Tesla has repeatedly revised its prices, according to Reuters.
Cox Automotive estimates cited by the Financial Times put U.S. Cybertruck sales at 11,586 from January through September 2026, down 28% from the same period in 2025. Those are estimates, not model-specific sales disclosed by Tesla: Reuters reported that the company groups Cybertruck deliveries into an “Other Models” category.
Cybertruck lead engineer Wes Morrill offered a different way to frame the vehicle’s legacy. “Cybertruck was an incredible technology development platform and lives on through Cybercab,” he wrote on X, as quoted by Reuters.
