The Tesla Cybertruck is discontinued. Musk says Giga Texas production winds down around mid-2027 to make room for Cybercab, and prices just rose up to 10%. New prices by trim, sales vs. plan, recalls, and what owners need to know.

The Tesla Cybertruck is being discontinued. Elon Musk said on X on Friday, November 6, that Tesla "will be winding down production of the Cybertruck at Gigafactory Texas around the middle of next year," to "make room for increased Cybercab production." Soon after, Tesla raised Cybertruck prices by as much as 10% and stopped taking orders for the cheapest version.
Update — Saturday, November 7
Musk posted again on Saturday, and the news is good for anyone with an order in: "The Tesla Cybertruck order backlog is currently far more than we can make before dismantling the line for Cybercab expansion around June/July next year. We will add an extra shift to try to get all orders done in time." That narrows the end date to June or July 2027 and confirms the Cybertruck line will be taken apart for Cybercab production. It also means the truck is not quietly disappearing: Tesla says demand for the remaining builds outstrips what it can make. If you want one, ordering soon gives you the best chance of getting a truck before the line closes.
The stainless-steel pickup drew more than a million reservations, was planned for 250,000 sales a year, and is now selling at roughly a tenth of that pace. Here is what Tesla said, what it costs now, and what the decision means if you own one or are thinking of buying.
The entire announcement was one post from Musk. Its two key lines: Tesla "will be winding down production of the Cybertruck at Gigafactory Texas around the middle of next year," and the purpose is "to make room for increased Cybercab production." On Saturday, Musk added that the order backlog is larger than Tesla can build before the line is dismantled in "June/July next year," and that Tesla will add an extra shift to fill as many orders as possible. Tesla has not issued a separate press release, and it has not said how long it will keep selling new trucks from inventory or how it will handle parts and service.
Gigafactory Texas in Austin is the only plant that builds the Cybertruck, so when that line stops, new production ends. Tesla built its first customer trucks there for a delivery event on November 30, 2023. If the wind-down lands on schedule, the Cybertruck will have been in production for about three and a half years.
Wall Street took the news well. Tesla shares rose 4.7% on Friday, according to CBS News. Wedbush analyst Dan Ives told CBS that "the writing was on the wall" given the truck's high price and weak demand.
Tesla raised prices on all three trims after the announcement, according to Electrek, which tracks Tesla's online configurator. It was the second increase in about 10 weeks. The base Dual Motor AWD still shows a price, but it is greyed out and can no longer be ordered.
| Trim | Early Aug. 2026 | Late Aug. 2026 | Now (Nov. 2026) | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dual Motor AWD | $69,990 | $74,990 | $82,490 (+10%) | Orders paused |
| Premium AWD | $79,990 | $84,990 | $92,490 (+8.8%) | Orderable |
| Cyberbeast | $99,990 | $99,990 | $102,490 (+2.5%) | Orderable |
The practical effect: the cheapest Cybertruck you can actually order went from $69,990 in early August to $92,490 today, a 32% jump. For context, Tesla promised a $39,900 starting price when it unveiled the truck in 2019. Prices exclude destination and fees.
Tesla does not report Cybertruck sales on their own. They fall under "Other Models," a bucket that also included the Model S, Model X and Semi. That category delivered 8,295 vehicles in the third quarter of 2026, down 48% from a year earlier. Electrek estimates 7,000 to 8,000 of those were Cybertrucks, a pace of roughly 30,000 a year.
That adds up to roughly 70,000 trucks delivered since late 2023, an industry estimate Tesla has not confirmed. Tesla tried several fixes along the way: a cheaper rear-wheel-drive model that was dropped after just 173 sales, a short-lived $59,990 dual-motor offer, and a lower-cost Dual Motor AWD trim this summer. The Cybertruck was also never sold in Europe, and Tesla cancelled plans for Australia and New Zealand in October.
Musk tied the decision to the Cybercab, Tesla's two-seat robotaxi with no steering wheel or pedals. Cybercab production started at Giga Texas in April 2026, and Texas had 463 registered Cybercabs as of late October, according to Electrek.
Tesla has not said whether the Cybertruck line itself will be converted, or whether the freed-up floor space, workers and equipment will go to a separate Cybercab line. The Cybercab is built with Tesla's new "unboxed" manufacturing process on its own line. Electrek argues the 10-million-square-foot plant already has room for more Cybercab output and that weak demand, not space, is the real reason. That is Electrek's view; Tesla has given only the Cybercab explanation.
The Cybertruck has been recalled about a dozen times since launch. The biggest Cybertruck-specific campaigns, per NHTSA filings reported by CNET:
| Date | Problem | Trucks |
|---|---|---|
| Apr. 2024 | Accelerator pedal pad could come loose and get trapped | 3,878 |
| Jun. 2024 | Windshield wiper motor could fail | 11,688 |
| Jun. 2024 | Truck bed trim could come loose | 12,150 |
| Sep. 2024 | Rearview camera image delayed | 27,185 |
| Nov. 2024 | Drive inverter fault, loss of drive power | 2,431 |
| Mar. 2025 | Stainless steel exterior panel could detach | 46,096 |
| Oct. 2025 | Front parking lights too bright | 63,619 |
| Oct. 2025 | Off-road light bar could fall off | 6,197 |
Two more followed in 2026 for brake rotor and wheel problems, including one covering the 173 rear-drive trucks. In July, Tesla also extended coverage on the power conversion system (PCS) in 2024 and 2025 trucks to 8 years or 150,000 miles after finding that those parts "do not meet our reliability standards."
Ending production does not end your warranty. The Cybertruck's written coverage is a contract that stays in force:
Tesla has not yet said how long it will stock Cybertruck-specific parts such as the stainless body panels, glass and steer-by-wire components. When it ended the Model S and Model X this year, Tesla said it would keep supporting those owners with service, software updates and parts. Cybertruck owners should expect, but get in writing, the same commitment.
It is too early for hard data. Used Cybertrucks lost value quickly in their first two years on the market. In September, MyEV.com listings showed 2024 trucks asking an average of $72,357 and 2025 trucks $88,227. Now that new prices are $92,490 and up, and the truck has an end date, at least one used-EV marketplace, Find My Electric, expects short-term support for clean, low-mile examples, especially Foundation Series trucks. Longer term, values will depend on how well Tesla supports parts and service. Treat any prediction, including ours, with caution.
"Tesla will be winding down production of the Cybertruck at Gigafactory Texas around the middle of next year."
Elon Musk, on X, November 6, 2026The bottom line: The Tesla Cybertruck is discontinued, with production ending at Giga Texas around mid-2027 so Tesla can build more Cybercabs. New prices now start at $92,490 for the cheapest orderable trim, up 32% since August. Owners keep their full warranty, but Tesla still has not spelled out its long-term parts and service plan. We'll update this story when it does.
