Say it ain’t so—another Tesla vehicle dropped from the lineup?

On November 6, 2026, Elon Musk announced that Tesla will be winding down Cybertruck production at Gigafactory Texas around the middle of 2027 to make room for increased Cybercab production.

In practical terms, that means the Cybertruck is being discontinued, which was later confirmed by Wes Morrill, Cybertruck’s lead engineer:

And the timing is pretty wild.

Tesla had just raised Cybertruck pricing again shortly before Musk made the announcement, continuing a pattern we recently watched play out with the Model S and Model X near the end of their production runs.

So naturally, the next question is:

What Happens to Used Cybertruck Values Now?

Could Cybertruck prices actually rise after Tesla stops making it?

We’ve now watched Tesla discontinue the Model S and Model X, and while those vehicles do not give us a perfect roadmap for Cybertruck, they do give us some useful clues about what can happen when a Tesla suddenly moves from being a current production vehicle to a fixed pool of used inventory.

Why Tesla Is Discontinuing the Cybertruck

In some ways, we aren’t surprised.

Cybertruck sales have been nowhere near the production levels Tesla originally envisioned.

Tesla does not report Cybertruck deliveries separately, but its “Other Models” category totaled only 8,295 deliveries in Q3 2026, down substantially from the same quarter a year earlier. With Model S and Model X production already ended, most of those deliveries were likely Cybertrucks.

That is not nothing.

Cybertruck has still managed to become one of the more significant electric pickups in the U.S. market.

But it is nowhere near the kind of volume Tesla originally discussed for the vehicle, particularly when Gigafactory Texas capacity can instead be used to produce Cybercab at much higher scale.

There is also the unusual SpaceX situation.

Registration data from S&P Global Mobility showed that SpaceX accounted for 1,279 of the 7,071 Cybertrucks registered in the U.S. during Q4 2025, or more than 18% of the total.

Those purchases came during a period when Tesla was carrying a lot of Cybertruck inventory, including trucks that were less attractive to consumers because of pricing and tax credit eligibility.

That doesn’t mean there wasn’t genuine consumer demand for Cybertruck.

There clearly was, and there still is.

But there probably wasn’t enough demand to justify continuing to dedicate major factory capacity to the truck.

And this is where the used market can behave very differently from the new market.

A vehicle can have too little demand to justify continued mass production while still having plenty of demand to support strong used values once new supply disappears.

We just saw that happen with Model S and Model X.

What Model S and Model X Can Tell Us

When Tesla announced the end of Model S and Model X production, there was immediate debate about what would happen to their values.

Would they suddenly become collectible?

Would values jump?

Would discontinuation have no effect at all?

Our view was that simply discontinuing a vehicle does not automatically make it appreciate.

Vehicles are generally depreciating assets, and EVs are no exception.

But something interesting did happen.

After new Model S and Model X inventory disappeared, we saw particularly strong demand for later production vehicles, especially 2023 and newer cars with HW4, Plaids, and very late 2025 and 2026 production vehicles.

Some sellers began asking surprisingly high prices for clean late model examples, and buyer interest appears to potentially be there.

The highest numbers have tended to show up on the newest and most desirable cars rather than across the entire S/X market.

That distinction matters.

A 2017 Model S with 100,000 miles did not suddenly become a collectible because Tesla ended production.

But a low mileage 2026 Model S Plaid became something completely different: one of the newest examples of a vehicle Tesla no longer makes.

The same thing happened with certain late Model X configurations.

There may not have been enough people buying brand new Model S and Model X vehicles to sustain production, but there are still enough people who want them to create competition for the best used examples.

Cybertruck could follow the same pattern.

Cybertruck Could Have an Even Stranger Used Market

Cybertruck may actually be an even better candidate for unusual post-discontinuation pricing.

There simply isn’t anything else quite like it.

Someone shopping for a Model S can consider another fast luxury sedan.

Someone shopping for a Model X can consider another three row electric SUV.

Someone who specifically wants a Cybertruck probably wants a Cybertruck.

Its stainless steel body, steer by wire system, rear steering, 48V electrical architecture, Powershare capability, enormous windshield, unusual interior, and unmistakable styling make it more than just another electric pickup.

A Rivian R1T, Silverado EV, GMC Sierra EV, and F-150 Lightning may compete with it on paper, but they are very different vehicles.

That uniqueness matters once production stops.

Every future Cybertruck buyer will eventually be competing for a fixed number of trucks.

That does not guarantee prices will rise.

But it changes the supply side of the equation permanently.

Tesla Is Already Raising Cybertruck Prices

One of the most interesting parts of the discontinuation announcement is what Tesla was doing with pricing immediately beforehand.

Tesla raised Cybertruck prices just hours before Musk announced the production wind-down.

And Tesla had already raised Cybertruck pricing in August 2026.

We’ve seen this movie before.

Near the end of Model S and Model X production, Tesla continued ratcheting prices upward.

By the time the final new inventory was being sold, the last MSRPs were substantially higher than some of the prices Tesla had charged not long before.

That did something interesting to the used market.

Those final new vehicle prices effectively became a reference point.

A used vehicle does not automatically become worth more simply because Tesla raised the MSRP on the last few new ones.

But buyers and sellers anchor off current or recent new pricing.

If the final Cybertrucks are selling for $90,000, $100,000, or even more, a clean used Cybertruck at $75,000 or $80,000 suddenly looks very different than it did when Tesla was discounting trucks or temporarily offering much cheaper configurations.

That is especially relevant because Cybertruck values have already moved around dramatically.

After a much softer market in 2025, some Foundation Series trucks have recently been selling above $80,000, and even some lower cost AWD trucks with the textile interior have moved above the $80,000 mark in certain cases.

Tesla’s latest price increases and the discontinuation announcement could add more support to that market in the short term.

We would not assume that support lasts forever—this is something important to keep in mind, because vehicles are depreciating assets.

The last Model S and Model X MSRPs have helped anchor current used pricing, but that effect could weaken over time as the vehicles age.

Cybertruck could follow the same pattern.

Paid-in-Full FSD Could Matter More Now

Another important factor is paid-in-full FSD.

Tesla no longer sells FSD outright on new vehicles and currently offers it through a monthly subscription.

Foundation Series Cybertrucks, however, included FSD as part of the original package. Some later Cybertrucks produced after the Foundations also have Included Package FSD, if the previous owner bought it.

That makes paid-in-full FSD a legacy feature.

We have already seen more buyers paying attention to Teslas that have FSD paid in full, particularly as awareness grows that a buyer can no longer simply add permanent FSD to a new Tesla.

That does not mean FSD suddenly adds its original purchase price to a used Cybertruck.

Historically, it hasn’t.

But when two similar trucks are competing for the same buyer, the one that already has paid-in-full FSD may increasingly have an advantage.

Foundation Series Cybertrucks could therefore become some of the more interesting trucks to watch after production ends.

Which Cybertrucks Might Hold Value Best?

If the Cybertruck market behaves anything like the Model S/X market after discontinuation, values probably will not move evenly.

Certain trucks are likely to be much more desirable than others.

We would pay particular attention to:

  • Foundation Series trucks with paid-in-full FSD
  • Cyberbeast models
  • Lower mileage trucks
  • Clean, accident free examples
  • Desirable factory configurations
  • Later production trucks
  • Unmodified or tastefully modified examples (nice wraps/wheels, etc.)
  • Vehicles with strong battery health and remaining warranty coverage

The final production year could become especially interesting.

If production really ends around the middle of 2027, those final trucks will permanently represent the newest Cybertrucks ever built.

That is exactly the kind of distinction we have seen matter with late production Model S and Model X vehicles.

What This Means If You’re Buying a Used Cybertruck

If you are shopping for a used Cybertruck, the discontinuation announcement makes the market more complicated.

It does not mean you should panic buy one tomorrow.

There will probably be some sellers who immediately increase asking prices because they saw the same announcement we all did.

Asking price and actual market value are not the same thing.

But buyers who specifically want a Cybertruck now have a legitimate reason to pay closer attention to available inventory.

Once production ends and Tesla sells through its remaining new trucks, there will be no new Cybertrucks competing with used ones.

At that point, production year, mileage, condition, configuration, FSD status, and warranty coverage could become much more important.

We would also avoid assuming that every Cybertruck will behave the same way.

A heavily modified high mileage truck may have a very different market than a pristine late production Cyberbeast or Foundation Series truck with paid-in-full FSD.

What This Means If You’re Selling a Used Cybertruck

For sellers, this could create an unusually interesting period.

Cybertruck values were already strengthening before the discontinuation announcement.

Tesla inventory has been tight, new Cybertruck prices have risen, gas prices are high, and buyer interest in used Teslas has generally improved.

Now add a finite Cybertruck supply to that equation.

That could create stronger demand for desirable used trucks.

It does not mean you should automatically throw an absurd number on your Cybertruck and assume somebody will pay it.

Markets can become overly excited immediately after announcements like this.

Cybertruck values have already demonstrated that they can move quickly in both directions.

But if you own a desirable Cybertruck, particularly a Foundation Series vehicle with paid-in-full FSD, a Cyberbeast, or eventually one of the final production trucks, relying on an old depreciation estimate may leave money on the table.

Watch the actual market.

Why Find My Electric Matters Even More (Again) After Cybertruck Production Ends

Not to toot our own horn, of course, but we saw this with Model S/X—where Once Tesla stops producing Cybertruck, the used market becomes the Cybertruck market.

And Cybertruck is exactly the kind of vehicle where a generic used car marketplace can miss important details.

Foundation Series status, FSD ownership, battery and warranty information, wheels, Powershare equipment, production year, software features, and other Tesla specific attributes can materially change what a buyer is willing to pay.

Find My Electric was built specifically around EVs and Teslas.

That gives buyers a better way to compare relevant Cybertrucks without digging through thousands of unrelated gas vehicles.

For sellers, it means potentially getting a Cybertruck in front of people who actually understand what they are looking at.

That becomes increasingly important when there is no longer a new Cybertruck configurator providing an obvious reference price.

Final Take: Will Cybertruck Prices Rise After Being Discontinued?

We think some of them probably will, at least in the short term.

But there is an important difference between stronger used values and true long term appreciation.

Cybertruck production ending removes future supply from a vehicle that still has a meaningful group of buyers who specifically want one.

Tesla is also raising Cybertruck prices as production approaches its end, paid-in-full FSD has become a legacy feature, and there is no direct replacement for Cybertruck in Tesla’s lineup.

Those are all factors that could support used values.

We saw something similar after Tesla discontinued Model S and Model X, particularly among late model HW4 cars, Plaids, and the final production years.

At the same time, Tesla is discontinuing Cybertruck for a reason.

There apparently were not enough buyers to justify keeping the production line running when Tesla could use that capacity for Cybercab.

Those two things are not contradictory.

Cybertruck may not have enough demand to justify producing tens or hundreds of thousands of new trucks every year while still having more than enough buyers chasing a much smaller fixed supply of used trucks to keep prices surprisingly strong.

Our expectation is that the most desirable Cybertrucks could see stronger value retention and possibly price increases as production winds down and new inventory disappears.

Whether that holds one, three, five or more years from now is another question entirely.

Cybertrucks are still vehicles, and vehicles are depreciating assets.

But if Model S and Model X taught us anything, it’s that once Tesla shuts down a production line, the best versions of that vehicle can suddenly become a lot harder—and sometimes a lot more expensive—to replace.
