Elon Musk's Tesla to Wind Down Cybertruck Production by Mid-2027

Tesla plans to wind down Cybertruck production at its Austin, Texas, factory around mid-2027, Elon Musk said on X. Musk suggested the decision would free capacity at the plant to increase output of the Cybercab, Tesla’s newly launched autonomous vehicle. It’s not yet clear whether Cybertruck production would move to another Tesla site or simply end entirely, though Austin is currently the only known factory making the truck’s specialized components. Musk also called the Cybertruck “the best vehicle Tesla has ever made” and said the “Cybertruck fleet” will last a long time. Cybertruck lead engineer Wes Morrill said the program functioned as an “incredible technology development platform” that carries over to Cybercab. The Cybertruck was unveiled in 2023 and faced approval difficulty in parts of Europe, plus multiple recalls and quality issues. Tesla does not break out Cybertruck sales separately, reporting deliveries under “Other Models.”
