Tesla will end Cybertruck production in Austin, Texas, in 2027 due to weak sales. CEO Elon Musk announced the shift to focus on the Cybercab, a key part of Tesla's robotaxi plans. The Cybertruck's sales fell 48% last year, far below initial expectations.
Tesla plans to end Cybertruck production in 2027 and shift capacity toward its Cybercab, according to reports on Nov. 6. NBC News reported that Elon Musk said the change would make room for increased Cybercab output, while Europe Sun reported on Nov. 9 that the wind-down is planned for the Texas factory around mid-2027. The reports differ on demand: thestar.com.my said Musk plans to refund many deposits because demand exceeds production, while Al Jazeera and NBC News cited lagging or poor sales.
