Tesla to Wind Down Cybertruck Production at Texas Factory, Musk Says
Tesla will use the Texas factory shift to expand Cybercab output as Cybertruck sales fell 28% in the first nine months of 2026, Kelley Blue Book 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.

- 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.
