Tesla to halt Cybertruck production at Gigafactory Texas by mid-2026
Elon Musk announced Tesla will wind down Cybertruck production at Gigafactory Texas around mid-2026 to free up capacity for its Cybercab. The move follows persistently weak sales and recurring complaints about design flaws, including panel issues and limited range.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The decision suggests Tesla is shifting resources toward its planned autonomous ride-hailing vehicle, which the company may see as a stronger bet for future growth than a niche pickup. It also caps a rough stretch for Musk, whose costly political spending in the midterms drew criticism and coincided with the truck's commercial struggles, though no direct link between the two has been confirmed by Tesla.
- Cybertruck production at Gigafactory Texas is set to end around mid-2026.
- Tesla says the freed capacity will go toward building more Cybercabs.
- The announcement comes amid weak Cybertruck sales and reported design problems.
