Tesla Cybertruck Production Winds Down Mid-2027

Elon Musk said Tesla will wind down Cybertruck production at Gigafactory Texas around the middle of next year to make room for more Cybercab output. The note landed on Friday, November 6, and it is the clearest signal yet that the stainless-steel pickup is giving up factory floor space to Tesla’s purpose-built robotaxi.

Tesla has not published a separate product bulletin. Musk did not say whether “winding down” means a full stop, a residual low-rate line, or a move to another plant. Gigafactory Texas is still the only known Cybertruck assembly site with the specialized equipment the truck needs, so Canadian shoppers and owners should treat mid-2027 as a real planning horizon until Tesla fills in the blanks.

What Musk and Tesla staff said

Elon Musk said 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.” That is the full public statement so far.

Cybertruck lead engineer Wes Morrill answered the first owner question that matters: parts and service. Asked whether trucks already on the road would keep long-term support, he replied that Tesla will maintain spare parts and that service will continue. In a separate note he called Cybertruck “an incredible technology development platform” that “lives on through Cybercab.”

Reputable outlets including The Verge, TechCrunch, and Reuters-syndicated reports confirmed the same wording on Friday. Analyst estimates still put total Cybertruck deliveries in the tens of thousands since late 2023, well below the 250,000-a-year figure Musk once floated.

Same-day U.S. price moves

On the same news cycle, U.S. configurator watchers reported Cybertruck price increases and a pause on new orders for the base Dual-Motor AWD trim. Those U.S. sticker changes do not automatically rewrite Tesla Canada’s price sheet, but they show demand management around a shrinking production window. Always check the live Tesla Canada Cybertruck page and inventory list before you assume a trim is still orderable here.

What it means for Canadian owners

If you already own a Cybertruck in Ontario or elsewhere in Canada. Morrill’s parts-and-service reply is the practical takeaway. Keep software updates current, document recalls in the Tesla app, and use official service for stainless and structural work. Resale will track how long new trucks keep shipping and how deep the used market gets, but the truck itself is not being orphaned overnight.

If you are shopping now. You still have a window measured in months, not days, under Musk’s “around the middle of next year” wording. Inventory Cybertrucks already in Canada can be faster than a custom build. Canadian list prices have sat at C$139,990 for Premium AWD and C$167,990 for Cyberbeast, before freight, fees and sales tax. Update, November 9: Tesla has since removed the Premium AWD from its Canadian configurator, so the Cyberbeast at C$167,990 is now the only Cybertruck you can order new here, Drive Tesla Canada reports. Confirm live numbers in the app, because Tesla changes CAD pricing without a press release.

Luxury tax. The federal luxury tax does not apply to the Cybertruck. The tax only covers vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating of 3,856 kg or less, and the Cybertruck is rated above that, which is why Tesla removed the tax from its Canadian configurator. B.C. is different: its higher PST rates for zero-emission vehicles priced at $75,000 or more do apply to the Cybertruck, the province has confirmed. Ask for the full invoice breakdown before you order.

Trade-ins and insurance. Tesla only recently started accepting some Cybertruck trade-ins in Canada after a stretch of refusals, and early offers were reported well below some dealer bids. Get multiple quotes. Insurers already treat Cybertruck panels and glass as specialty items; a shorter production run does not change that overnight, but it is one more reason to keep Wheel and Tire or windshield protection decisions intentional.

Cybercab context for Canada. Cybercab is already running in parts of Tesla’s U.S. Robotaxi network. Canada still has no public Robotaxi service. A Texas factory shift toward Cybercab is a U.S. capacity story first. It does not put unsupervised robotaxis on Ontario roads by itself, and it does not replace a Model Y or Model 3 order for most Canadian households.

What to do this week. Owners: note the mid-2027 horizon, keep service history clean, and ask Service about any open campaigns. Shoppers: lock a price only when you are ready to take delivery, compare inventory vs custom lead times, and do not stretch for options that push a Canadian RWD Model Y off the federal EVAP rebate if that is your real budget car.

Bottom line

Elon Musk said Cybertruck production at Giga Texas winds down around mid-2027 so Cybercab can scale. Parts and service support for existing trucks is the reassurance owners needed most. Canadian buyers still have time, but the factory story has a clearer end date than it did on Thursday.

Correction, November 9, 2026: an earlier version of this story said the federal luxury tax may apply to the Cybertruck. It does not, because of the truck’s weight rating. We also added Tesla’s removal of the Premium AWD from the Canadian configurator.
