Tesla to End Cybertruck Production, Pivot to Cybercab
Elon Musk said Tesla will end Cybertruck production at its Austin, Texas gigafactory by mid-2027, shifting capacity to the forthcoming Cybercab and will continue to accept orders while expanding Powerwall integration. The decision follows a series of steps announced over the past weeks. Reuters reported that Tesla added an extra production shift to clear the backlog of pending Cybertruck orders before the line is dismantled for Cybercab production. Earlier reports from BNN Bloomberg and CNN noted that the company would scale back the pickup’s output at the Austin plant due to weak sales.
Business Insider highlighted a broader market trend of falling full-size electric-pickup sales, prompting manufacturers to pivot toward smaller, lower-cost trucks. 24/7 Wall St. mentioned that a 66-year-old investor stood to profit from the shift, while Rolling Stone linked the move to Tesla’s autonomous-taxi concept, the Cybercab.
