Tesla to wind down Cybertruck production next year

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 6 Nov, 23:02 · Archive

Tesla will end Cybertruck production around the middle of next year to make room for Cybercab production.

Tesla will wind down Cybertruck production at its Gigafactory Texas facility around the middle of next year to make room for increased Cybercab production, CEO Elon Musk announced on social media. Texas is the only location where the Cybertruck is produced.

The vehicle has struggled in the market since its debut, facing declining sales and quality-control issues including multiple recalls within months of launch. Kelley Blue Book estimated that Cybertruck sales declined 48% from 2024 to 2025, with sales down 28% between January and September this year.

The polarizing electric pickup, with its unorthodox stainless-steel profile, became a political touchstone as Musk aligned himself with conservative causes and political figures. European sales of Tesla vehicles more broadly tumbled 49% in the first two months of 2025, even as overall EV sales grew in the region. Musk's endorsement of Germany's far-right Alternative for Germany party in national elections drew broad condemnation.
