Musk says Tesla will wind down Cybertruck production in Texas

Tesla is pulling the plug on Cybertruck production at its Texas plant. Elon Musk announced the wind-down on his own X account, saying the change will kick in around the middle of next year so the factory can shift toward building more Cybercabs.

In his words, Tesla will be winding down Cybertruck production at Gigafactory Texas around mid-next year to make room for increased Cybercab production. The company has not said whether the truck line moves to another facility or disappears entirely, according to thenews.com.pk.

The pickup arrived in 2023 with Musk pitching it as a futuristic challenger to legacy haulers from the likes of Ford. Instead, it has struggled to hold buyer attention, and Reuters notes the vehicle has racked up multiple recalls and quality-control problems while Tesla repeatedly reworked its pricing.

For now, the announcement raises more questions than it answers: no timeline beyond the mid-next-year marker, no details on what happens to existing Cybertruck operations, and no confirmation of a full discontinuation. Tesla watchers will be looking for the next official word from the company.
