Tesla plans to begin winding down production of its electric Cybertruck pickup around mid-2027. The company\u2019s CEO, Elon Musk, announced the move on the social media platform X. The freed-up production capacity is expected to be used to increase output of the autonomous Cybercab.<\/p>\n
Musk did not clarify whether Tesla intends to move Cybertruck production to another factory or discontinue the model entirely. The company has not announced any plans to find a new manufacturing site, so a gradual phase-out of the electric pickup remains a possibility.<\/p>\n
If Tesla follows the announced schedule, the production wind-down will begin less than four years after Cybertruck deliveries to customers started. The company had initially planned to produce up to 250,000 Cybertrucks annually, but actual demand has fallen well short of that target. According to Kelley Blue Book estimates, Tesla sold 11,586 of these pickups in the United States during the first nine months of 2026, down 28% from the same period last year. According to Car and Driver, cumulative sales of the model total just under 71,000 vehicles.<\/p>\n
Tesla now plans to focus more of its production resources on the Cybercab, a two-seat autonomous vehicle designed for robotaxi operations. It has no steering wheel or pedals, reflecting Musk\u2019s ambition to transform Tesla from an electric vehicle manufacturer into a major player in the autonomous transport market.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":152419,"menu_order":0,"template":"","newscat":[9],"newstag":[],"issues":[],"class_list":["post-152418","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","newscat-novosti"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/152418","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/152419"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=152418"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"newscat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/newscat?post=152418"},{"taxonomy":"newstag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/newstag?post=152418"},{"taxonomy":"issues","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/issues?post=152418"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
