Elon Musk says Tesla will start winding down Cybertruck production at Gigafactory Texas around the middle of 2027 so the plant can build more Cybercabs, the company’s purpose-built robotaxi, reports Tesla North.
In a post on X on late Thursday, Musk wrote 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.”
For owners already driving one, Cybertruck lead engineer Wes Morrill answered the question that matters most. Asked whether trucks on the road would still get long-term support, he replied that Tesla will keep spare parts available and that service will continue. In a follow-up, Morrill also called the stainless-steel pickup “an incredible technology development platform” that “lives on through Cybercab,” thanking the people who built it and the owner community he said he will keep following.
Canadians who have been watching the truck since it opened for orders here in 2024 still have two trims on Tesla Canada’s compare page. The Premium All-Wheel Drive starts at $139,990 and is rated for about 523 km of range, a 0–100 km/h run in 4.3 seconds, and up to 220 km of range from 15 minutes of Supercharging.
The tri-motor Cyberbeast starts at $167,990, with about 515 km of range, 0–100 km/h in 2.7 seconds, and up to 217 km added in the same Supercharging window. Full Self-Driving (Supervised) is listed as a $99-per-month subscription. Those figures are before taxes and fees, and they line up with the higher Canadian stickers that followed last year’s tariff-related price jumps.
Cybercab itself is the two-seat robotaxi with no steering wheel or pedals that Tesla has been registering and running in Texas, including in Austin and Dallas, after earlier We, Robot demos and the company’s broader Robotaxi rollout.
The mid-2027 timing also follows other signs that the truck’s footprint has been shrinking. In October, Tesla cancelled Cybertruck plans for Australia and New Zealand and refunded reservation holders there. U.S. pricing has climbed as well, though Canadian compare-page pricing has been holding at the figures above.
The Cybertruck design is a love it or hate it look, given there are no curves on the bulletproof truck that resembles a refrigerator.
Would you still order a Cybertruck in Canada knowing production is set to wind down for Cybercab, or does the mid-2027 timeline change your plans? Tell us in the comments.
