Tesla to end Cybertruck production in 2027 to free space for Cybercab
Elon Musk said the Texas factory will wind down Cybertruck output around mid-2027 as Tesla focuses on robotaxis.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk said on X that production of the Cybertruck at Gigafactory Texas will wind down around the middle of 2027. The space will be used to increase production of the Cybercab, a self-driving robotaxi that began production in February. Musk did not say whether Cybertruck output would move to another site or end completely, but said the Cybertruck fleet would remain on the road for a long time.
Cybertruck sales have been weak. About 20,000 were sold in the United States in 2025, down 48% from nearly 39,000 in 2024. Over 11,500 units sold in the first three quarters of this year, according to preliminary figures. Musk had once predicted at least 250,000 would be sold each year.
Musk has said the Cybercab will make up most of Tesla's future value and that the company is shifting toward artificial intelligence and robotics. The change comes weeks after Tesla unveiled a flying car in a demonstration that spread widely online.
