Tesla is ‘winding down’ production of the Cybertruck next year

The Verge

What changed

Tesla plans to wind down Cybertruck production at its Texas Gigafactory around the middle of 2027.

Elon Musk said the factory capacity will be redirected toward increased Cybercab production. The shift moves a planned manufacturing slot from the Cybertruck to Tesla’s robotaxi project.

Why it matters

This is more than a product timetable. It is a factory-capacity decision: Tesla is choosing to give more room to the Cybercab, while reducing the space available for the Cybertruck.

That makes the Cybercab plan the more important test of Tesla’s next manufacturing bet. The scale and pace of the Cybertruck wind-down are still unclear, and Cybercab production volume and regulatory readiness have not been confirmed. If those pieces come together, Texas will become a clearer signal of Tesla’s priorities: less emphasis on building the electric pickup, more on turning the robotaxi into a production program.
