GoKawiilTesla to wind down Cybertruck production at Texas plant next year
Elon Musk said Tesla will stop building the Cybertruck at its Texas factory next year to make room for producing more of its self-driving Cybercab vehicles. He did not clarify whether production would end entirely or move elsewhere, though lead engineer Wes Morrill suggested the truck is being discontinued, saying it 'lives on through Cybercab'. Musk later told a fan mourning the news that existing Cybertrucks would remain on the road for years.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The shift suggests Tesla may be prioritising its driverless Cybercab project over a vehicle that struggled to find mass-market appeal despite Musk's enthusiasm. The Cybertruck's rocky launch, delays and underwhelming sales since 2023 raise questions about whether its angular design and high price ever truly fit the competitive US truck market, though Tesla has not confirmed the model is fully ending.
