Elon Musk said Tesla plans to scale back Cybertruck production at its Texas factory around mid-2027, making room for more Cybercab output. The company has not said whether Cybertruck production will move elsewhere or end entirely.

  • Musk said production at Tesla’s Texas factory would wind down around the middle of 2027 to accommodate increased Cybercab output.
  • Tesla has not clarified whether it will build Cybertrucks at another facility or discontinue production; the Austin factory is the only known Tesla site equipped for the model’s specialized components.
  • Tesla groups Cybertruck deliveries with other models rather than reporting them separately. The grouped category recorded 8,295 deliveries in the third quarter, compared with 12,364 in the second quarter.
  • The Cybertruck has faced recalls, quality-control issues and repeated price revisions; reports also describe regulatory hurdles in parts of Europe.
  • Tesla has begun offering paid rides in a small Cybercab fleet in Austin. The company still faces questions from the US auto safety agency about the vehicle’s self-certification.
