Tesla to wind down Cybertruck production in Texas around mid-2027 — ttnews.com

Key Facts

On November 6, 2026, Elon Musk said Tesla will wind down Cybertruck production at Gigafactory Texas around the middle of 2027 to free space for more Cybercabs, Tesla’s planned self-driving taxi.
That plant is the only known factory set up to build the truck’s specialized parts, and Tesla has not said whether production will move or stop.
If it stops and does not move, the window to buy a new one can close, while Musk said trucks already sold will stay on the road for a long time.

The Texas line is being cleared on purpose so robotaxis can take the space.

Tesla leadership and the autonomy-first company narrative

Tesla treats the wind-down as a planned handoff, not a product funeral.

Leaders say Gigafactory Texas needs the room for higher-volume Cybercab production as the company leans into vehicles that drive themselves.

They also say the truck’s technology carries forward, and that trucks already in customers’ hands are not going away.

Buyers stayed away, and the Cybercab line is a softer way to leave.

Demand-focused critics and EV analysts

Critics say the truck never sold near the volume once talked about, so clearing the only specialized line is a response to demand.

In that reading, robotaxi capacity is the public reason, not the main cause.

The sales path is the evidence they trust; the space story is the packaging.

Most likely true

The announcement is firm. Musk said Cybertruck production at Gigafactory Texas winds down around mid-2027 to make room for more Cybercab production. Sales estimates from Electrek and Reuters show a sharp drop: about 38,965 in 2024, 20,237 in 2025, and about 11,586 in the first nine months of 2026, with third-quarter 2026 “Other Models” deliveries at 8,295. Those are outlet estimates, not a Tesla sales table published with the announcement.
