Elon Musk says Tesla will wind down Cybertruck production at its Texas plant next year to make room for more Cybercab robotaxis. He did not say whether the angular pickup would vanish entirely or move elsewhere, but the project's lead engineer wrote that the truck lived on through the Cybercab.

The vehicle won a loyal fan base yet arrived late in 2023 after long delays and has posted soft sales against hopes for America's truck market. Musk still calls it among Tesla's best products and told mourners online that the existing fleet will last for years, while agreeing the line is ending.

Public memory still includes the 2019 launch stunt when advertised unbreakable glass shattered on stage. Pre orders once looked huge; demand in showrooms never matched the myth. Shifting space toward unsupervised robotaxis fits Musk's bet that autonomy, not niche trucks, will define the next chapter.

Workers, suppliers and owners now wait for a clearer end date and for whether any Cybertruck work continues outside Texas. For Tesla the message is strategic: scarce factory capacity goes to the product Wall Street is being asked to value next.
