Tesla to wind down Cybertruck production in 2027 to make room for robotaxi
–
Neutral summary
Tesla plans to gradually wind down production of its Cybertruck pickup at its Texas Gigafactory around mid-2027, CEO Elon Musk said in a post on X. The move is intended to free up capacity for increased production of the Cybercab robotaxi. The decision comes after years of weak sales and multiple recalls. Sales of the Cybertruck fell 48% between 2024 and 2025, according to an estimate by Cox Automotive’s Kelley Blue Book. Numerama reports that about 70,000 units were sold over three years. Musk had previously called the Cybertruck Tesla’s “best product ever,” but its futuristic design polarized opinions. The Verge called the announcement a humiliating way to end the vehicle’s run, while Times of India linked the sales decline partly to Musk’s political stances. iXBT noted that price changes between the 2019 unveiling and the start of deliveries also dampened demand.
