Elon Musk announced that Cybertruck production at Gigafactory Texas would be wound down around the middle of 2027. Tesla has not announced the exact date of the final vehicle.
As of November 6, 2026, the cheapest Cybertruck available to order was the Premium AWD at $92 490. The $82 490 Dual Motor AWD version could no longer be ordered.
Tesla has not said how long it will sell the remaining vehicles or how parts supply and service will operate in the future. As of November 7, there was no official information on the issue.
On November 6, 2026, Elon Musk wrote on X that Tesla would wind down Cybertruck production at Gigafactory Texas “around the middle of next year.” He said the reason was to free up space for higher Cybercab production. That same day, Electrek reported that Tesla had raised the pickup’s prices and stopped accepting orders for its cheapest version.
In brief. Tesla has announced the decision but provided few details: there is no exact date for the final vehicle, no information about parts and service for owners, and no indication whether the pickup will be built elsewhere. Gigafactory Texas is the only plant where it is assembled.
What Tesla actually announced
Musk’s statement consisted of a single sentence: Cybertruck production at Gigafactory Texas will be wound down in mid-2027 to make room for increased Cybercab output. Responding to a user on X, he called the Cybertruck the best car in Tesla’s history and the end of production the end of an era. The company did not respond to a request for comment from Reuters.
Wes Morrill, the project’s lead engineer, wrote that the Cybertruck “lives on through Cybercab.” That is an employee comment, not an official plan to transfer the technology.

How many Cybertrucks were sold
Before launch, Musk expected sales of about 250 000 vehicles a year. According to Kelley Blue Book, 38 965 Cybertrucks were sold in the US in 2024 and 20 237 in 2025, a 48% decline. Tesla does not publish separate pickup figures: the Cybertruck is included in the “Other Models” category alongside Model S, Model X and Semi. In the third quarter of 2026, that category accounted for 8 295 vehicles, down 48% from a year earlier. Electrek estimates that Cybertruck accounted for 7 000–8 000 of those vehicles; this is the publication’s estimate, not Tesla data.
The publication also cites S&P Global Mobility, which reported that SpaceX bought 1 279 Cybertrucks in the fourth quarter of 2025, while all of Musk’s companies bought 1 339—about 19% of US registrations for the quarter.
How the prices changed
According to Tesla configurator data cited by Electrek, Cybertruck prices in the US looked like this on November 6:
Version | Price in August 2026 | Price on 06.11.2026 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
Dual Motor AWD | $74 990 | $82 490 (orders not accepted) | +$7 500 |
Premium AWD | $84 990 | $92 490 | +$7 500 |
Cyberbeast | $99 990 | $102 490 | +$2 500 |
That means the cheapest Cybertruck still available to order costs $92 490. At the beginning of August, the entry point was $69 990, so the price rose by about 32% in ten weeks. For comparison, Tesla quoted $39 900 at the 2019 unveiling, while the first production vehicles sold for approximately $60 990.
What this means if you are considering a purchase
The Dual Motor AWD version cannot currently be ordered on Tesla’s website. The other versions have become significantly more expensive. Before paying, check the delivery time and warranty terms in the configurator: Tesla has not yet announced how long it will sell the remaining vehicles. You can check recall campaigns for a specific VIN on the NHTSA website: the Cybertruck has already been subject to recalls, including those involving the rearview camera and accelerator pedal.
Why the pickup was sold in only a few countries
The Cybertruck was not sold in Europe or in most countries where vehicles drive on the right. Andy Palmer, former CEO of Aston Martin, told Reuters that the vehicle would not pass in markets with crash-test rules covering pedestrian impacts. Tesla publishes current versions and markets on its own Cybertruck page; if you are considering a vehicle imported from the US, keep in mind that certification and warranty coverage may differ in your country.
Cybercab: what is known about the “reason”
The Cybercab is a two-seat vehicle without a steering wheel or pedals. According to CBS News, production began in Texas in April, and paid rides started in Austin in September. By the end of October, Electrek had counted 463 registered Cybercabs in Texas and reported that the factory covers more than 10 million square feet, while the Cybertruck line is operating at roughly one-quarter capacity. On that basis, the publication believes the explanation about a “lack of space” does not stand up to scrutiny. This is Electrek’s editorial opinion. Tesla has not provided more detail about its explanation. As Reuters reports, NHTSA is still investigating whether Tesla properly self-certified the Cybercab under federal safety standards.
What remains unknown
When the final Cybertruck will leave the production line and how many more vehicles will be built.
How long Tesla will continue accepting orders and selling existing inventory.
How parts and service will be handled for current owners. There was no official information as of November 7.
Whether production will move to another plant: according to Reuters, that appears unlikely, but the company has not commented.
Tesla reports quarterly deliveries in its investor relations section. The next report will make it possible to compare how the overall “Other Models” category changed after the announcement.
The bottom line: On November 6, 2026, Musk announced that Cybertruck production would be wound down in mid-2027. The timeline and connection to Cybercab have been confirmed; sales figures, estimates of line utilization, and explanations for the decision remain the opinions of publications and analysts, while the future of owner service has not yet been disclosed.
