Tesla to Discontinue Cybertruck Production by 2027 to Prioritize Robotaxis
Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced that the company will cease production of the Cybertruck in 2027. The decision aims to repurpose factory space for the manufacturing of 'Cybercab' robotaxis as Tesla shifts its strategic focus toward AI and robotics. This move follows underwhelming sales performance, with total units sold reaching only tens of thousands despite initial projections of 250,000 annual sales. The discontinuation marks a significant pivot in Tesla's product lineup. Following the recent decision to end Model S and Model X production to favor Optimus humanoid robot manufacturing, the Cybertruck exit signals a broader transition away from traditional consumer vehicles toward autonomous transport and robotics. The company is currently testing Cybercabs in Austin, Texas, with plans to expand operations to Dallas later this month.
