Tesla to wind down Cybertruck production at Texas gigafactory next year, Musk says

Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced on X that the company plans to wind down Cybertruck production at its Texas gigafactory around mid-next year. The decision comes as Tesla prepares to ramp up production of the Cybercab, a new model that Musk views as a key component of its robotaxi ambitions. The specifics of whether Cybertruck production will be relocated to another facility or shut down permanently were not disclosed.

The Cybertruck, introduced in 2023, has not garnered significant consumer interest, having faced numerous recalls and quality control problems in addition to frequent price changes. Meanwhile, Musk has positioned the Cybercab as a central model in Tesla's push for autonomous, robotaxi vehicles.
