Tesla says it will wind down Cybertruck production at Giga Texas around mid-2027 to make room for more Cybercab output
Elon Musk said on X on Nov. 6 that Tesla will wind down Cybertruck production at Giga Texas around mid-2027 to make room for more Cybercab output.
On November 6, 2026, Elon Musk wrote on X that Tesla will be winding down Cybertruck production at Gigafactory Texas around the middle of next year to make room for increased Cybercab production. The wording is "wind down", not a stated end date or a confirmed end of the model. Reporting says it is not clear whether production would move elsewhere or stop entirely.
The essentials
- What was said: a single post on X by the CEO, relayed by Reuters and others. We did not find a separate Tesla press release.
- Stated reason: freeing capacity at Giga Texas, the only plant that builds the Cybertruck, for the Cybercab.
- Sales context: Tesla does not report Cybertruck sales separately. Kelley Blue Book figures reported by Reuters put US sales at 20,237 in 2025, down 48% from 38,965 in 2024.
- Cybercab context: Tesla lists installed capacity above 125,000 units, and about 570 of the 1,200-plus Tesla robotaxis in Texas are Cybercabs, per Reuters. NHTSA opened an audit in September on the basis of Tesla's self-certification.
Does this mean the Cybertruck is discontinued?
Not yet in so many words. Musk said production will wind down around mid-2027, and The Next Web notes he did not say whether it would end completely. Reuters, as relayed by CBT News, says it is unclear whether production moves to another facility or ends. Engadget reads it as the likely end of the truck unless manufacturing moves. Production is expected to continue until then, so the truck stays on sale for some time.
Why does the Cybercab matter here?
Cybercab production began earlier this year at Giga Texas, and paid rides started in Austin in September, according to Wikipedia's summary. Reuters, as relayed, says the Cybercab is unlikely to make up for lost Cybertruck volumes soon. The NHTSA audit is open and Tesla still has to answer the agency's questions.
What is not established
- Whether Cybertruck production ends entirely or moves to another plant: not stated.
- Exact end date and what happens to existing orders: not stated.
- Any parts or service commitment for owners: The Auto Wire found none published.
- How many Cybercabs will replace the lost output, and when: no figure beyond the listed capacity.
