Tesla is winding down Cybertruck production in Texas by mid-2027 to make room for its robotaxi
Tesla will wind down Cybertruck production at Gigafactory Texas around the middle of 2027. Elon Musk announced it in a short post on X on Friday, saying the space is needed to build more Cybercabs. The Cybercab is Tesla's two-seat robotaxi with no steering wheel or pedals. It went into production at the same Texas plant in April, and paid rides started in Austin in September. The Cybertruck never got close to its original plan. The line was set up for about 125,000 trucks a year, but fewer than 30,000 sold in 2025, according to WardsAuto data cited by Morningstar. It also had several recalls along the way. Musk didn't say whether the truck will be built anywhere else or what happens to open orders. Fans are calling it the end of an era, and critics are calling it the end of a flop. Either way, the most divisive car of the decade has an end date.
