Tesla to wind down Cybertruck production at Texas factory, Musk says
Tesla plans to wind down Cybertruck production at its Texas factory around mid-2027, making room to increase production of the Cybercab. The announcement signals a shift towards the autonomous vehicle as the company advances its robotaxi ambitions, while the future of Cybertruck production remains uncertain.
It is unclear whether production will move to another site or end altogether; Austin is the only known Tesla facility equipped to make the model’s specialised components. Launched in 2023, the Cybertruck has fallen short of Elon Musk’s mass-market expectations and faced recalls, quality problems and repeated price changes. Tesla did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
In short
- Tesla expects to wind down Texas Cybertruck production by mid-2027.
- The factory space is intended for increased Cybercab production.
- It is unclear whether Cybertruck production will move or end.
