Elon Musk announced on X on Friday, Nov. 6, 2026, that Tesla will wind down Cybertruck production at Gigafactory Texas around mid-2027 to make room for increased Cybercab robotaxi production. Tesla does not break out Cybertruck sales, but Kelley Blue Book estimated 20,237 U.S. Cybertruck sales last year, down 48% from 38,965 in 2024. Musk had once predicted annual sales of 250,000 units. The Austin plant is the only known facility building the Cybertruck's specialized components, and Musk did not say production would move elsewhere. The Cybercab is a two-seat robotaxi with no steering wheel, pedals, or mirrors; roughly 570 of more than 1,200 Texas robotaxis are Cybercabs, according to the state DMV. NHTSA has an open audit into whether Tesla properly self-certified the Cybercab.
The Cybertruck attracted a niche following but never reached mass-market sales. Tesla is pivoting harder toward AI, robotics, and autonomy, and Musk sees the Cybercab as central to that strategy. Winding down the Cybertruck frees factory space and engineering attention for the robotaxi program.
