Tesla has announced that it will discontinue the Cybertruck, according to reports from several major news outlets published on November 8, 2026.
Announcement
The New York Times reported that the electric-vehicle maker will end production of the Cybertruck, a vehicle the newspaper described as a "culture war on wheels." The Wall Street Journal noted that Chief Executive Elon Musk had previously called the Cybertruck Tesla's "best product ever," and that the vehicle is now being scrapped.
Production Shift
Yahoo Finance reported that Mr. Musk is winding down Cybertruck production in order to build Cybercabs. The outlet added that the Model S and Model X had already given up their factory space to robots. Taken together, these reports point to a broader reallocation of Tesla's manufacturing resources toward autonomous and automated products.
Critical Reception
The Atlantic published a commentary on the vehicle titled "A Preposterous, Overpriced, Beautiful Disaster of a Car," reflecting the divided public response the Cybertruck has attracted since its debut.
Outlook
The reports reviewed here do not set out the full details of the wind-down, including the timing of the final production run or the treatment of existing orders and owners. Further clarification from Tesla is expected to establish how the change will affect customers, workers and the company's product line.
