Tesla Chief Executive Elon Musk said the company will wind down Cybertruck production at its Texas Gigafactory in the middle of 2027 so the plant can build more Cybercab robotaxis^1,2,3.

The stainless-steel pickup, first shown in 2019 and delivered from late 2023, sold far below early volume talk of about 250,000 a year^1,3.

Engadget reported Tesla has sold about 71,000 Cybertrucks since deliveries began, and that Musk did not say whether production would continue at another site³.

TechCrunch said Tesla has been running Cybercabs in Austin and planned to expand to Dallas later this month, as the company shifts capacity toward autonomy and robotics¹.

The same report said Tesla earlier this year ended Model S and Model X production to free space for Optimus humanoid robots¹.

The truck launched well above the sub-$40,000 starting price Tesla once advertised, with a cheapest version later around $60,000, and it drew multiple recalls and quality complaints, according to Engadget and TechCrunch^1,3.

TechCrunch also tied weak demand to a polarizing design and to protests that followed Musk's political activity, a framing The Verge emphasized as well^1,4.

Outlets differed on whether the Texas wind-down is a full discontinuation; Engadget treated a move to another plant as unconfirmed, while TechCrunch and Ars Technica described Tesla stopping the Cybertruck^1,2,3.

KFOR reported the change as a Giga Texas production shift⁵.

What happens to remaining orders, residual values and whether any Cybertruck line continues outside Texas was not specified in Musk's post as reported^3,2.
