Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced Friday that the company will wind down Cybertruck production at its Texas facility around the middle of next year to make room for increased production of the Cybercab, Tesla's new robo-taxi model.
Musk made the announcement in a post on X. He did not say whether Cybertruck manufacturing would shift to another factory. The Texas plant is the only known production site.
The Cybertruck, released in 2023, fell far short of Musk's initial prediction of about 250,000 annual sales. In 2024, Tesla sold about 38,965 Cybertrucks. That figure declined by nearly half in 2025, with 20,237 sold.
The vehicle's angular stainless steel design proved polarising from its 2019 announcement. At an unveiling ceremony that year, Musk demonstrated the windows by having metal balls launched at the car, which cracked two windows. The truck became a symbol of opposition to Musk as he increased involvement in US politics.
In response to a user on X, Musk called the Cybertruck the "best vehicle Tesla has ever made" and described the wind-down as the "end of an era".
