Tesla plans to wind down Cybertruck production at Gigafactory Texas around mid-2027 to free up space for more Cybercabs, the two-seat vehicle the company designed for driverless transportation. CEO Elon Musk announced the plan in an X post on Friday, November 6. He did not say whether Tesla would move Cybertruck production to another factory or stop making the pickup altogether.
Kelley Blue Book estimated that U.S. Cybertruck sales fell 48.1%, from 38,965 in 2024 to 20,237 in 2025. The figures are based on Cox Automotive's estimates, not a Cybertruck-specific figure from Tesla. Tesla's latest filing reported production of 7,004 vehicles in its "other models" category in the third quarter of 2026, compared with 11,624 a year earlier. That category includes several models, not only the Cybertruck.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened an audit query in September to examine whether Tesla properly certified a vehicle without conventional driver controls under federal safety standards. The agency's inquiry did not establish that the Cybercab violated those standards.
