Will the CyberTruck be Discontinued

[no%X#XMVk65v#cq]

A CT based SUV is the next logical step

It's crazy that Tesla doesn't have an offering in this huge segment. Model X wasn't even really a SUV, closer to a luxury minivan.

But then again they don't see themselves as a car company anymore... so how they make decisions lineup wise I haven't a clue.

Tesla one day will only make cybercabs. Musk expects no one to want to drive as if it is an unwanted chore instead of enjoyable. He is big city centric and apparently has no clue where 95% of the country land wise lives and what their transportation needs are. So yes, the 3, Y and Cybertruck will cease to exist sooner than later.

Elon has indicated that Tesla has no plans to develop any new manually-driven car models beyond the forthcoming Roadster:

During Tesla’s Q1 2026 earnings call on April 22, Elon Musk made a brief but notable comment about the long-awaited next generation Roadster while describing Tesla’s future vehicle lineup. “Long term, the only manually driven car will be the new Tesla Roadster,” he said.

It will be a sad day when production of the CT is discontinued. Like with every vehicle it's eventually going to happen.

I think the next major update will be new battery cell technology. I am confident it happen by 2030 and give the CT real towing range.

Maybe the CT will have a long production run like the Mercedes G-Class SUV. It's been in production since 1979 (47 years) and shows no signs of slowing down. Buyers are still lining up for the 4.0L TT V8 powered G63 hence MB dealers get $10k-$30k over MSRP due to demand being higher than supply.

Does anyone know if the CT is actually profitable for Tesla?

Well, Tesla does. But they aren't very communicative.

Back in Q3 2024, Tesla announced "positive gross margin" on Cybertrucks. But in Q3 2024, CTs were starting at $99,990 (Foundation AWD) and $119,990 (Foundation Cyberbeast). So the average transaction price had to be above $100,000.

Today, most CTs start at $79,990 (non-Foundation Premium AWD) or $69,990 (non-Foundation Standard AWD), with a few at $99,990 (non-Foundation Cyberbeast). Average transaction price is probably below $80,000.

So CTs were reported to be profitable when selling at >$100,000 in Q3 2024. But that doesn't mean they are equally profitable selling at <$80,000 today.

My guess would be that Tesla's margins on current-model CTs are low. And we know that the volume is low: Tesla delivered 336,681 vehicles globally in 1Q 2026; maybe 5,000 of those (or about 1.5%) were CTs. The CT could be making a little money for Tesla, but probably not very much.

I would upgrade to a cyberbeast suv. Gives us a 1,000hp+ too, my kids need to get daycare.

Even with all Cybercabs and Tesla Semis, you still need a truck or van for deliveries and work-type stuff, so I bet they'll keep it, maybe just without a steering wheel. What makes it easy to remove a steering wheel, and what kind does the Cybercab use for validation and testing? Steer-by-wire Cybertruck steering wheel!
