Tesla to wind down Cybertruck production at Texas Gigafactory next year

Tesla CEO Elon Musk said on X that the company will "winding down" Cybertruck production at its Texas Gigafactory around the middle of next year, "to make room for increased Cybercab production." The Austin facility is currently the only plant assembling the model and is equipped for its specialized components. Musk did not say whether production will be shifted to another site, a move that would be difficult for a vehicle that has struggled to achieve strong sales. Analyst estimates put total Cybertruck deliveries at roughly 70,000 since its 2023 launch, far below Musk’s earlier projection of 250,000 units per year. The model has faced criticism over its design, multiple recalls and involvement in fatal accidents. If the Cybertruck is discontinued by 2027, Tesla is expected to introduce another vehicle as its successor.

"We are winding down Cybertruck production to make room for increased Cybercab production," Musk wrote on X.
