Musk says Tesla to wind down production of struggling Cybertruck at Texas factory around mid-2027
The vehicle has faced difficulty achieving the mass market appeal predicted since its 2023 launch
Tesla, under the leadership of CEO Elon Musk, has announced plans to cease production of the Cybertruck at its Texas factory around mid-2027, according to a post on X on November 6. The decision comes as the company seeks to increase production of the Cybercab, a new model central to Musk's vision of transforming Tesla into a robotics and self-driving company.
The Cybertruck, which has been plagued by quality control issues and price revisions since its 2023 launch, has struggled to gain mass market appeal. The Austin plant, the only Tesla factory capable of manufacturing the Cybertruck's specialized components, will likely retain production, while the fate of the Texas facility remains unclear.
