Tesla to scale back Cybertruck production in 2027 as Cybercab takes priority at Texas Gigafactory

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has confirmed on social media that the company plans to gradually scale back Cybertruck production at its Texas Gigafactory around the middle of next year. This is intended to free up production lines and resources to ramp up manufacturing of the new Cybercab.

The Tesla Cybertruck made its debut in 2019. At the company's 2023 shareholder meeting, Musk predicted that annual sales could eventually reach between 250,000 and 500,000 units once production was fully ramped up.

However, the latest US sales figures paint a very different picture. The Cybertruck sold 20,237 units in the US in 2025, down 48% year on year.

While Cybertruck sales have lost momentum, Tesla is placing greater emphasis on the Cybercab, its key model for entering the robotaxi market. The autonomous vehicle is now emerging as one of the company's top priorities.
