Tesla is reportedly preparing to wind down production of its controversial Cybertruck by mid-2027, less than four years after the futuristic electric pickup made its highly anticipated debut.

According to reports, CEO Elon Musk announced plans to scale back production at Tesla’s Gigafactory in Austin, Texas, as the company shifts its focus toward the Cybercab, its upcoming autonomous robotaxi.
The decision follows disappointing sales, with approximately 20,237 Cybertrucks sold in the United States in 2025, a 48% decline from the previous year. The stainless-steel pickup has also faced numerous recalls and criticism over its unconventional design, pricing and performance.
First unveiled in 2019 and delivered to customers beginning in November 2023, the Cybertruck quickly became one of the most recognizable and polarizing vehicles on the road. Musk initially projected that Tesla could eventually produce hundreds of thousands of Cybertrucks annually, but demand has reportedly fallen well short of those expectations.
