Tesla to Wind Down Cybertruck Production at Texas Factory, Musk Says
Tesla will shift factory space to Cybercab production as Cybertruck sales fall and the pickup racks up 11 recalls, regulators said.
- On Friday, Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced the company will wind down Cybertruck production at its Texas Gigafactory by mid-2027 to free capacity for increased Cybercab robotaxi manufacturing.
- Persistent sales struggles prompted the shift; the Cybertruck has consistently missed targets since its 2023 launch and faced 11 recalls, including a 2024 accelerator-pedal issue.
- Tesla sold 20,237 Cybertrucks in 2025, a 48% decline from 38,965 in 2024, according to Kelley Blue Book, far below Musk's original forecast of 250,000 annual units.
- Musk called the truck the "best vehicle Tesla has ever made" and the wind-down the "end of an era," though the company has not clarified service support for existing owners.
- The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is auditing Tesla's self-certification of Cybercab safety standards, as the autonomous platform pivot faces intense regulatory scrutiny.
