Tesla to wind down Cybertruck production in Texas to make room for Cybercab

Tesla will wind down Cybertruck production at its Texas Gigafactory around the middle of 2027 to make room for more Cybercab robotaxi production, CEO Elon Musk said in a post on X, The Washington Post reports. Musk did not say whether Cybertruck production will stop completely or move to another plant.

Cybertruck lead engineer Wes Morrill said trucks already on the road will keep spare parts and service support, Tesla North reported. In October, Tesla canceled Cybertruck plans for Australia and New Zealand.

Tesla unveiled the Cybertruck in 2019 and began customer deliveries in November 2023 after production delays, according to Benzinga. The pickup has since faced recalls and regulator intervention over reports that its power-operated doors did not work in emergencies.

Cybercab is Tesla's two-seat robotaxi with no steering wheel or pedals. It hit the streets this September, and regulators have opened an investigation into how Tesla certified that the vehicle meets federal safety standards.
