On November 9, Musk explained in a reply to a user on X why Tesla is discontinuing Cybertruck production: Tesla has a “very limited number of smart, focused people,” and maintaining the complex production line, supply chain, and engineering team for the Cybertruck would tie up staff needed to ramp up production of the Cybercab. He had previously announced that Cybertruck production would end at the Texas Gigafactory around mid-2027, freeing up capacity for the driverless Cybercab taxi; he also said orders far exceed production capacity and that a large number of deposits would be refunded within about eight months. However, Electrek noted that Tesla’s own data does not support the claim of “strong demand”: the Cybertruck production line is operating at only about a quarter of its installed capacity, and the company has been offering discounts since the beginning of this year.
