## Summary

Elon Musk says Tesla will wind down Cybertruck production at its Texas factory next year to make room for more self-driving Cybercab cars. The move raises questions about the truck’s future: Musk has not said whether production will stop entirely or move elsewhere, while the project’s lead engineer appeared to suggest it was being discontinued.

The Cybertruck launched in 2023 after delays and an awkward 2019 demonstration in which its supposedly unbreakable glass shattered. Musk said it had received 146,000 orders while in development, but sales have disappointed; recalls included more than 46,000 vehicles in 2025 over trim that could fall off. Prices have also been high, from $61,000 for a fully equipped model to $102,000 for the 2026 Cyberbeast.
