Tesla will wind down Cybertruck production at its Texas Gigafactory around mid-2027, CEO Elon Musk said on social media. The move is intended to free up factory space for increased production of the company’s planned Cybercab robotaxi.
The decision follows years of sales that fell short of initial, ambitious targets. Since its 2023 launch, the Cybertruck has faced quality-control problems and multiple recalls. Its polarizing design has also limited its appeal.
Sales were estimated at a fraction of the 250,000 units per year the production line was built for. Regulatory issues have also kept the Cybertruck out of key markets, including Europe.
