Musk Says Cybertruck Production Winds Down Mid-2027 for Cybercab

Elon Musk said Tesla will wind down Cybertruck production at Gigafactory Texas around the middle of next year so the plant can expand Cybercab output, the company’s purpose-built robotaxi.

In a post on X on Thursday, Musk wrote that Tesla “will be winding down production of the Cybertruck at Gigafactory Texas around the middle of next year to make room for increased Cybercab production.” He did not add a second post with volumes, a hard stop date, or what happens to existing Cybertruck orders.

Cybertruck Lead Engineer Wes Morrill quickly filled in one of the biggest owner questions. Asked whether trucks already on the road would still get long lasting support, he replied, “Yes, of course! Tesla will maintain spare parts and service will continue support.”

In a separate post quoting Musk, Morrill also called Cybertruck “an incredible technology development platform” that “lives on through Cybercab,” thanking the people who built it and the owner community he said he will keep following.

Cybertruck is Tesla’s stainless-steel electric pickup, built at the Texas factory that also hosts Cybercab work. Cybercab is the two-seat robotaxi with no steering wheel or pedals that Tesla has been registering and running in Texas, including in Austin and Dallas. Musk’s note frames the truck line as giving up floor space so that robotaxi build rate can rise.

The move follows other signs that Cybertruck’s footprint is shrinking. In October, Tesla canceled Cybertruck plans for Australia and New Zealand, refunding reservation holders there. U.S. stickers have also climbed, with Premium All-Wheel Drive recently listed at $92,490 on Tesla’s design page.

What Musk still has not said matters. He did not say whether “winding down” means a full stop or a low residual rate, whether any Cybertruck assembly moves elsewhere, or how many Cybercabs the freed lines are meant to add. Tesla’s official accounts had not echoed the post with a separate product note at the time of writing.

For owners and shoppers, the practical read is that Giga Texas is being pointed harder at Cybercab, while existing trucks keep parts and service support under Morrill’s wording. Anyone still deciding on a Cybertruck has a clearer clock: roughly through the first half of 2027 under Musk’s wording, unless Tesla fills in the blanks he left open.
