Tesla to wind down Cybertruck production at Texas plant next year

Elon Musk has announced that Tesla will wind down production of the Cybertruck at its Texas factory in 2025.

Musk said the move is intended to “make room” for increased output of the company’s self‑driving Cybercab vehicles, but did not confirm whether the model will be discontinued entirely or shifted to another site.

Lead engineer Wes Morrill posted on X that the Cybertruck “was an incredible technology development platform and lives on through Cybercab,” which many interpreted as a sign of the model’s end.

The angular‑styled truck, launched in 2023 after a delayed development period, has struggled with sales, delivering 20,237 units in 2025 compared with 38,965 the previous year, according to Kelley Blue Book data.

Following Musk’s announcement, Tesla’s share price rose 4.7% on the Friday trade. Fans on social media expressed disappointment, while Musk replied that the existing Cybertruck fleet would remain in service for a long time.
