Tesla Cybertruck production ends in mid-2027

Production of Tesla's electric pickup model Cybertruck will end in mid-2027. Elon Musk announced the decision on his X account. Thus, the model's journey will end after a sales process of approximately four years. This move also shows where the company's priorities are shifting.

The schedule for Cybertruck production has been clarified

According to the announcement, the production line will stop in mid-2027. This is the only clear date announced for now. Tesla did not share any other details about how the model will continue after this date.

The company plans to use the production space vacant from Cybertruck at Gigafactory Texas. This area will be reserved to increase the production of the driverless vehicle Cybercab. Therefore, Tesla is shifting its resources to the goal of autonomous transportation.

On the other hand, the company is also actively developing the Robotaxi platform in the field of autonomous transportation. Therefore, the decision seems to be in line with Tesla's general direction. In other words, the space vacated by the pickup will serve the company's driverless future.

Why Didn't Cybertruck Meet Expectations?

Cybertruck is known as the market's best-selling electric pickup. However, sales figures were below initial expectations. As a matter of fact, the targets set when the vehicle was introduced were not met.

One reason for this was the change in pricing policy. Nearly four years passed between the introduction and the start of deliveries. During this time, Tesla abandoned its initial price targets.

The price of mass production vehicles was higher than promised. Therefore, potential demand remained limited. This table may have influenced the decision to end the model.

What Do Tesla Fans Think?

Reactions to Musk's decision were mixed. Some users supported transferring resources to Cybercab. Because the company is investing heavily in the field of autonomous travel.

On the other hand, there are also those who are upset that the production of the record player has ended. Analyst Gary Black said that he hopes Tesla will prepare a conventionally designed electric pickup instead of Cybertruck. However, the company has not yet announced any plans for the successor model.

The clear date for now is mid-2027. Cybertruck production will then cease and space at Gigafactory Texas will be used for the Cybercab.
