Tesla to Phase Out Cybertruck Production at Texas Gigafactory to Prioritize Cybercab Robotaxi
Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced that production of the Cybertruck at Gigafactory Texas will begin winding down around mid-2027. This strategic shift is intended to clear manufacturing capacity for the increased production of Tesla's upcoming 'Cybercab' robotaxi, which Musk views as a critical component of the company's future growth. The decision follows a period of mixed performance for the Cybertruck. While Musk maintains it is one of Tesla's best vehicles, sales have struggled to reach mass-market levels; estimates suggest U.S. sales dropped approximately 48% year-over-year. The vehicle has also faced challenges regarding production quality and several recalls.
