The Tesla Cybertruck will soon meet its maker, per a post by Tesla CEO Elon Musk on his personal X account. Though it was first shown as a prototype in 2019, the Cybertruck ultimately materialized in production form for the 2024 model year.
According to Musk’s post, Tesla will wind down “production of the Cybertruck at Gigafactory Texas around the middle of next year,” indicating that the 2027 model year will be its last. Admittedly, it’s possible that the company moves the Cybertruck’s production elsewhere. This seems unlikely, though, given the middling sales figures of the model, which continue to fall far short of the annual 250,000-unit production figure predicted early on by Musk.

Tesla sold 38,965 Cybertrucks in 2024, though that number fell to just 20,237 in 2025. Cybertruck sales continue to trend downward for Tesla, which sold just 11,586 units through the first three-quarters of 2026.
Of course, the battery-powered pickup’s high price didn’t help its cause. Currently, Tesla is limiting Cybertruck orders to the roughly $90,000 Premium All-Wheel Drive and the six-figure Cyberbeast trims. The more than $80,000 Dual-Motor All-Wheel Drive variant remains listed on the Tesla site, indicating the automaker may open orders for that trim again before production ends.
