Cybertruck U.S. Sales Drop 48% Before Production Ends in 2027

Tesla will stop building the Cybertruck in Austin, Texas, by the middle of 2027. The decision means the electric pickup, which began customer deliveries in November 2023, will have a production run of less than four years. For local manufacturers and suppliers in the region, the shift signals an end to assembly line work for the vehicle within the next eighteen months.

Elon Musk announced the plan to scale back output at the Gigafactory in Austin. The company intends to redirect its industrial focus toward the Cybercab, an upcoming autonomous robotaxi. This strategic pivot aligns with Tesla’s broader emphasis on autonomous driving technology and robotics rather than consumer pickup trucks.

The wind-down follows a steep decline in consumer interest. Approximately 20,237 Cybertrucks were sold in the United States in 2025. This figure represents a 48 percent drop compared to the previous year. The stainless-steel vehicle has also dealt with multiple recalls and consistent criticism regarding its pricing, performance, and angular design.

Musk had previously projected that Tesla would produce hundreds of thousands of the trucks annually. Demand has fallen well short of that target since the vehicle was first unveiled in 2019. The reported halt represents a correction in those initial production forecasts.

Tesla has not confirmed whether production might resume in a different location in the future. The current plan centers on the Austin facility, where the model is assembled. The company’s next major product launch remains the Cybercab, which is expected to replace the Cybertruck in Tesla’s long-term manufacturing lineup.
