Tesla plans to wind down Cybertruck production at Gigafactory Texas around the middle of 2027, opening space for increased Cybercab production, CNBC reported on 6 November, citing a post by chief executive Elon Musk on X.

The announcement concerns the Texas factory. Musk did not say whether Cybertruck manufacturing would move elsewhere, so it does not establish an end to production at every location.

In a reply to a user, Musk said the existing Cybertruck fleet would remain on the roads for a long time. The planned factory change shifts capacity towards Cybercab, Tesla’s driverless taxi, while leaving the pickup’s longer-term manufacturing arrangements unresolved.
