Tesla Ends Cybertruck Production, Lifts Cheapest Truck to $92,490

Tesla will stop building the Cybertruck at Gigafactory Texas around the middle of next year and hand the factory space to the Cybercab, its driverless robotaxi, Elon Musk wrote on X, as reported by InsideEVs. Right after the announcement, Tesla raised prices again, so the cheapest Cybertruck a buyer can order now starts at $92,490, according to Electrek.

For the roughly 70,000 people who already own one, the end of production leaves warranty terms as they are. The open questions are long-term parts support and what their trucks will be worth.

New prices after the wind-down news

Electrek reported these increases after the announcement:

• Premium AWD: from $84,990 to $92,490.
• Cyberbeast: from $99,990 to $102,490.
• Dual Motor AWD: from $74,990 to $82,490, although Tesla has stopped taking orders for this entry-level trim.

With the Dual Motor gone from the order page, only the Premium and the Cyberbeast remain. The price gap with Tesla’s original pitch is wide. At the 2019 unveiling, Tesla promised a single-motor truck for $39,900, a dual-motor for $49,900 and a tri-motor for $69,900, according to a Reuters timeline. When deliveries began in late 2023, the base price was $60,990. A dual-motor trim launched at $59,990 in February 2026, then went to $69,990 in March and $74,990 in August.

Sales fell far short of the plan

Tesla planned to build 250,000 Cybertrucks a year. Electrek estimates current sales at about 30,000 a year, roughly 12% of that plan, while installed capacity is more than 125,000. Cox Automotive figures cited by Electrek show U.S. sales dropping from 14,416 in the third quarter of 2024 to about 3,700 in the second quarter of 2026. Electrek puts total deliveries at about 70,000 over roughly three years.

Some of those sales went to companies tied to Musk. SpaceX bought 1,279 trucks in the fourth quarter of 2025, Electrek reported, which suggests ordinary buyers wanted fewer trucks than the totals show.

Torque News points to several reasons for the slump. The stainless steel body and its supply chain are expensive when output runs far below plan. The truck cannot be sold in Europe or most right-hand-drive markets, and Tesla canceled it for Australia and New Zealand, according to Electrek. Its wedge design split traditional truck buyers, and the wider electric pickup market has struggled with buyers who tow and drive long distances and worry about range and charging.

A record of recalls

Deliveries started about two years after Musk’s original 2021 target. Since late 2023, Tesla has issued 11 Cybertruck recalls, according to NHTSA records cited by Reuters. One of them, in March 2025, covered 46,096 trucks because a light bar could delaminate and come off.

What it means for current owners

A production ending does not rewrite an existing warranty, Torque News notes, so coverage dates stay the same. Parts are a bigger unknown. Tesla has not laid out how it will support the truck’s unique body panels and components over the long term, and some owners already report long repair waits. One owner told Torque News his truck was still in the shop after five months and $63,000 in repairs.

Resale values have been unpredictable. Higher new-truck prices and a shrinking supply could prop up used prices, Torque News says, but results so far vary widely. One owner said Tesla offered him $76,000 after he paid $79,000 and drove 21,000 miles; others have reported large losses when selling.

Owners can confirm that every recall on their truck has been completed by entering the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls.

What happens to the factory space

Production is set to wind down around the middle of next year, according to Musk’s post. The floor space at Gigafactory Texas will go to building more Cybercabs. Musk reported 250,000 preorders within five days of the 2019 unveiling, each backed by a refundable $100 deposit.
