GoKawiilTesla to end Cybertruck production at Texas Gigafactory by mid-2027
Elon Musk confirmed on X that Tesla will wind down Cybertruck production at its Texas Gigafactory by mid-2027, freeing up capacity for the upcoming Cybercab robotaxi. Musk did not say whether Cybertruck manufacturing would resume elsewhere or be discontinued entirely. Since deliveries began in late 2023, Tesla has sold about 71,000 Cybertrucks, far short of its original projection of 250,000 annual sales.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The move suggests Tesla is prioritizing its autonomous vehicle ambitions over a product that struggled with price overruns, recalls and polarizing design. However, the Cybercab's own prospects remain uncertain given a federal investigation and Tesla's long-unmet promises of full self-driving capability, so this shift could trade one risky bet for another.
- Cybertruck production at Tesla's Texas Gigafactory will end by mid-2027.
- Tesla sold roughly 71,000 Cybertrucks versus a projected 250,000 per year.
- Freed capacity will go toward the Cybercab robotaxi, which faces its own regulatory and technical hurdles.
