## Key points

- Tesla plans to wind down Cybertruck production in Texas next year.
- The factory will ramp up production of the Cybercab.
- Estimated US Cybertruck sales fell 48% last year.

## Summary

Tesla plans to wind down Cybertruck production at its Texas factory next year as it increases production of the Cybercab, Elon Musk said. The shift comes after the electric pickup drew a niche following but failed to reach mass-market sales, putting its future role in Tesla’s manufacturing plans in question.

Tesla does not publish sales by model, but Cox Automotive estimated US Cybertruck sales at 20,237 last year, down 48% from 38,965 in 2024. Musk had predicted annual sales could eventually reach 250,000; SpaceX bought $131 million worth of the trucks last year. The 2024 model was subject to 11 voluntary recalls, covering issues including an accelerator pedal that could become trapped and faults that could cause a loss of drive power.
