Tesla to wind down Cybertruck output in Texas by mid-2027
What's next: Tesla plans to use the Austin capacity for its Cybercab as Cybertruck deliveries and demand have weakened.
Tesla plans to wind down Cybertruck production at its Austin, Texas, factory around the middle of 2027, shifting capacity toward the Cybercab, the self-driving model central to Elon Musk’s robotaxi strategy. It is unclear whether Cybertruck manufacturing will move elsewhere or end entirely, and Austin is the only known Tesla site set up for its specialized parts. The pickup, launched in 2023 as a challenger to Ford and General Motors trucks, has struggled to broaden its appeal, especially outside the United States. It has also faced recalls, quality issues and price revisions. Tesla groups the model in its “Other Models” category, which posted 8,295 deliveries in the third quarter, down from 12,364 in the second.
