## Key points

- Tesla plans to wind down Cybertruck production around mid-2027.
- The vehicle has had 11 recalls since reaching the road.
- Estimated sales of about 70,000 fell far short of the stated production goal.

## Summary

Tesla plans to wind down Cybertruck production at its Texas factory around mid-2027, after roughly four years of production. The decision marks the end of a vehicle that Elon Musk had presented as a major future source of cash for the company, but which has struggled to attract buyers and has faced repeated defects.

The first Cybertrucks left the production line in mid-2023 and went on sale later that year; since late 2023, the model has had 11 recalls, most recently in April 2026 over brake rotors that could crack. Musk once said Tesla aimed to make 250,000 a year by 2025, citing more than one million reservations, but Tesla has not published sales figures or disclosed cancellations. One estimate puts sales at about 70,000 over three years, while reports have described unsold vehicles accumulating in the US despite price cuts.
