Tesla to Wind Down Cybertruck Production at Austin Gigafactory to Expand Cybercab Output

Tesla announced that it will begin winding down production of the Cybertruck at its Austin, Texas Gigafactory around the middle of next year. The decision, made public by CEO Elon Musk in an X post, is intended to free up capacity for increased Cybercab production, the company’s autonomous ride‑share vehicle. The Austin plant is the only Tesla facility known to assemble the Cybertruck and is equipped with the specialized components required for the vehicle. Musk did not indicate whether Cybertruck production would be relocated to another site, a move that could prove difficult given the truck’s unique manufacturing needs. The shift marks a strategic pivot toward robotaxi output, reflecting Tesla’s broader focus on autonomous mobility solutions.
