Elon Musk Announces Cybertruck Production Wind-Down at Giga Texas to Prioritize Cybercab
Tesla CEO Elon Musk has announced that production of the Cybertruck at Gigafactory Texas will wind down by mid-2027 to make room for the expansion of 'Cybercab' robotaxi output. Despite historical sales challenges and a significant gap between initial projections and actual delivery numbers, Musk claims the current order backlog is so substantial that Tesla will add an extra production shift to fulfill orders before the line is dismantled. The strategic pivot reflects Tesla's broader transition toward autonomous driving and robotics. While Cybertruck sales have seen recent declines according to third-party estimates, the company is reallocating factory floor space to its Robotaxi program and planning to convert existing Model S and X lines for Optimus robot production. This massive industrial shift comes as Tesla increases its 2026 capital expenditure guidance to over $25 billion.
