Tesla plans to wind down Cybertruck production after sales slump

Elon Musk says Tesla will wind down Cybertruck production at its Gigafactory Texas around mid-2027, announced on November 6, 2026. The decision is framed as a shift of factory capacity toward Cybercabs—Tesla’s self-driving taxi program—after Cybertruck sales failed to meet expectations and the vehicle faced repeated recalls. Tesla has not said whether Cybertruck manufacturing will move elsewhere or end entirely, and Texas is the only known site currently equipped to make the truck’s specialized stainless-steel components. The company did not respond to questions before the publication deadline.
