Tesla's Cybertruck now has an end date. Elon Musk announced on X Friday that the company will wind down the pickup at Gigafactory Texas around the middle of next year to "make room for increased Cybercab production". WBAP says he did not say whether production would move to another factory. CBS Texas, citing Forbes, says the Texas plant is the only one that currently makes it.
The Cybertruck went from unveiling to a planned wind-down

The move follows a steep drop in estimated sales: Kelley Blue Book put U.S. Cybertruck sales at 38,965 in 2024 and 20,237 in 2025. Tesla is also growing its robotaxi business in Texas, including Dallas, where unsupervised service started in April using Model Y vehicles, not Cybercabs.
