Tesla Will Stop Making the Cybertruck in 2027, Elon Musk Says
Tesla is ending Cybertruck production in 2027, Elon Musk says, freeing factory space for two-seater Cybercab robotaxis.
Key points
- Tesla has sold just tens of thousands of Cybertrucks over the last three years.
- Musk predicted in late 2023 that Tesla would sell around 250,000 Cybertrucks per year.
- Tesla has put Cybercabs on the streets of Austin, Texas, and plans to expand to Dallas later this month.
Why it matters. The move signals that Tesla is redirecting factory capacity toward robotaxis and robots as it tries to become an AI- and robotics-focused company.
Tesla is ending Cybertruck production at its Texas factory in 2027, Musk said on X, freeing the space for two-seater Cybercab robotaxis. Musk had predicted in late 2023 that the company would sell around 250,000 a year, but it has sold only tens of thousands over three years. The Cybertruck is the third product Tesla has discontinued, after the Model S and Model X, whose factory space is being used to make Optimus humanoid robots.

Tesla Will Stop Making the Cybertruck in 2027, Elon Musk Says
Tesla will stop making the Cybertruck in 2027, according to CEO Elon Musk, who announced the decision on X. Musk said the company will use the factory space to build more two-seater Cybercab robotaxis. The steel-clad electric pickup has had only a few years on sale. When Musk handed over the first Cybertrucks in late 2023, he predicted Tesla would sell around 250,000 per year. Actual sales have fallen well short of that projection, and the company has not yet detailed a replacement timeline for the model.
