Elon Musk said Tesla will begin gradually cutting Cybertruck output at its Texas
plant from mid‑2027 to free capacity for expanded Cybercab production. The
Cybertruck, built near Austin since 2023, has struggled with weak demand and
multiple recalls. Musk’s Friday social‑media post did not specify whether
Cybertruck output would move to other plants or be discontinued. Tesla began
producing a gold two‑seat Cybercab at the Austin plant this year, a
robotaxi‑focused model central to Tesla’s stated pivot toward AI products,
including humanoid robots. Musk previously projected potential Cybertruck
capacity of up to 250,000 units a year depending on demand; first‑year sales
were below one‑sixth of that target.
