Tesla Chief Executive Elon Musk said Friday that the company will wind down Cybertruck production at Gigafactory Texas around the middle of next year so it can increase output of the Cybercab robotaxi^1,4.

Musk wrote on X that Tesla will be “winding down production of the Cybertruck at Gigafactory Texas around the middle of next year,” according to The Verge and The National^1,4.

The Texas plant is the only Tesla facility known to assemble the stainless-steel pickup and the specialized parts it uses, The Verge reported¹. Musk did not say whether Cybertruck production would shift to another factory^1,4.

Tesla does not publish Cybertruck deliveries on their own¹. The Verge said even the highest analyst estimates put total deliveries near 70,000 since the 2023 launch, well below a 250,000-a-year figure Musk once cited¹. The National cited industry estimates of as many as 50,000 sold⁴.

The National said the truck’s advertised starting price rose from $39,900 to as high as about $100,000 and that design and safety concerns also weighed on demand⁴. The Verge noted recalls and that the design is not road-legal in many markets¹.

Techmeme pointed to a Financial Times account of the same mid-2027 Texas wind-down tied to Cybercab production². Reuters also published a report on Musk’s remarks; the full Reuters article was not available to this desk³.

Musk did not give a Cybercab production target or a final Cybertruck end date beyond “around the middle of next year”^1,4. The National separately said Tesla has described a next-generation Roadster as headed for 2028 production⁴.
