Tesla to Wind Down Cybertruck Production in 2027

Tesla plans to wind down Cybertruck production at its Texas factory around June or July 2027 and shift manufacturing capacity toward its Cybercab robotaxi, Chief Executive Elon Musk said. He said the company would add a production shift in an effort to fill outstanding orders before dismantling the line, but would refund deposits to some customers whose vehicles it cannot build.

Musk said Cybertruck orders exceed the company’s production rate. Tesla has not disclosed the size of its order backlog, the number of customers who may receive refunds or the total value of those refunds. The company also has not said which outstanding orders it expects to fulfil before production ends.

The planned shift would make room for increased Cybercab production. Tesla describes the Cybercab as a two-seat robotaxi, and Musk said the complexity of continuing Cybertruck production makes the capacity more valuable for building the new vehicle. The Cybercab has not yet been sold commercially, according to reporting on Musk’s announcement.

Industry estimates show Cybertruck sales declining in the United States. Kelley Blue Book figures put sales at 20,237 in 2025, down from 38,965 in 2024, a 48% drop....
