Tesla Cybertruck Discontinued: Turning Points in Its Downfall
Detailed summary
Elon Musk said Tesla plans to wind down Cybertruck production by mid-2027, as its Texas factory makes room for the Cybercab.
After years of hype, controversy and a string of high-profile setbacks, Tesla's Cybertruck is heading toward the end of the road.
The futuristic electric pickup, once touted by CEO Elon Musk as the company's "best product ever," struggled to meet sales expectations and became a lightning rod for criticism. Now, Tesla is preparing to wind down production at its Texas Gigafactory about three years after the first trucks reached customers.
Production will wind down around the middle of 2027 to “make room for increased Cybercab production,” Musk announced on X Friday.
Since its unveiling in 2019, the Cybertruck has attracted attention for its unconventional design and become a cultural flashpoint amid growing backlash against Musk.
