Tesla to wind down Cybertruck production mid-2025

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 6 Nov, 15:11 · Archive

Tesla will reduce Cybertruck production at its Texas factory around mid-2025 to increase Cybercab manufacturing.

Tesla will wind down Cybertruck production at its Texas factory around mid-2025 to make room for increased Cybercab production, CEO Elon Musk announced on social media. The Texas facility is the only location producing the Cybertruck.

Sales of the stainless-steel vehicle have struggled since launch. Kelley Blue Book estimated that Cybertruck sales declined 48% from 2024 to 2025, with a 28% drop from January through September of this year. The vehicle never caught on with most buyers despite enormous anticipation.

The Cybertruck has faced quality-control issues, including a handful of recalls within months of its debut. The vehicle's polarising design, combined with Musk's political alignment with President Donald Trump and right-leaning causes, made it a political touchstone. European sales of Tesla vehicles tumbled 49% in the first two months of 2025, even as overall electric vehicle sales grew. Musk's endorsement of Germany's far-right Alternative for Germany party drew broad condemnation.
