Tesla to drop Cybertruck production in 2027 as MUsk focus changes to robotics and AI

Elon Musk said on Nov. 6, 2026, that Tesla would begin cutting Cybertruck production at Gigafactory Texas around the middle of next year to make room for more Cybercabs; production was expected to continue until about mid-2027, and Musk did not say when it would end. Tesla does not report Cybertruck sales separately, and outside estimates put third-quarter deliveries of the vehicle at roughly 7,000 to 8,000, far below Musk’s earlier forecast of 250,000 to 500,000 a year. The two-seat, steering-wheel-free Cybercab joined Tesla’s Robotaxi fleet in Austin on Sept. 3, 2026, and the company has begun building Cybercabs in Texas for its own fleet.
