Tesla to Wind Down Cybertruck Production in 2027 to Prioritize Cybercab Output
Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced that production of the Cybertruck at the Texas Gigafactory will begin winding down around mid-next year. This strategic shift is intended to reallocate manufacturing capacity and specialized components toward increasing the output of the company's upcoming 'Cybercab' robotaxi. The decision comes amid underwhelming sales performance for the Cybertruck, with analyst estimates suggesting total deliveries have reached only approximately 70,000 since its 2023 launch—far below Musk's previous annual projections. The vehicle has also faced significant challenges, including design controversies, multiple recalls, and safety concerns.
