KEY POINTS

  • Tesla will cut Cybertruck production at its Texas Gigafactory from mid-2027
  • Capacity will shift to mass production of the two-seat Cybercab robotaxi
  • The Cybercab has no steering wheel or traditional pedals
  • Other Models deliveries fell 48 percent to 8,295 units in the third quarter
  • Production in that segment contracted 40 percent year over year

Tesla will reduce Cybertruck production at its Gigafactory in Texas starting in mid-2027 to free assembly capacity for the Cybercab, a two-seat autonomous robotaxi without a steering wheel or pedals. CEO Elon Musk confirmed the change through his official X account.

The company did not say whether the Cybertruck line will move to another plant or whether the vehicle's lifecycle will end completely. The shift at the Texas facility is described as imminent.

“Tesla will reduce Cybertruck production at its Gigafactory in Texas starting in mid-2027 to prioritize mass production of the Cybercab.”

— Elon Musk

Installed capacity at the plant previously exceeded 125,000 vehicles per year for both the Cybertruck and Cybercab combined. Recent commercial data show a slowdown: deliveries in the Other Models category, which includes the Cybertruck and other vehicles, fell 48 percent in the third quarter to 8,295 units from 15,933 a year earlier, while production in that segment contracted 40 percent.

The announcement raises questions about real demand for the stainless-steel pickup and the short-term profitability of the traditional automotive business compared with autonomous transportation services.

Musk also warned during the OpenAI trial about the risks of artificial intelligence more intelligent than humans.

FayerWayer reported the production cut and delivery figures. Haber Ankara reported that Tesla will gradually end Cybertruck production at its Texas factory.
