Musk says Tesla will end Cybertruck production next year
Elon Musk said Tesla will wind down Cybertruck production at its Texas factory around mid-2027 to make room for the Cybercab self-driving taxi.
Tesla will wind down Cybertruck production at its Texas Gigafactory around the middle of next year, CEO Elon Musk said in an X post on Friday. He said the move is "to make room for increased Cybercab production."
The Cybercab is Tesla's self-driving taxi. CBS News reports Musk said the company will prioritize self-driving taxis. The Verge reports Tesla is retiring the truck to ramp up robotaxi output.
CNBC reports the Cybertruck gained a niche following but did not reach mass-market sales, and that Tesla has issued several voluntary recalls.
The Guardian describes the truck as a failed effort to win a share of the U.S. pickup market. That is the outlet's characterization, not Tesla's.
