Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced that the company will wind down production of the Cybertruck around mid-2027. The decision, shared via the social media platform X, aims to reallocate resources at Gigafactory Texas to increase production of the upcoming Cybercab robotaxi. Since its 2019 unveiling, the stainless-steel pickup has faced a challenging path including armor-glass window breakage during its debut, significant production delays, and 11 recalls. While the vehicle maintained a niche following, it struggled to achieve the mass-market volume of Tesla's Model 3 or Model Y, with production levels falling short of early internal projections.
