Tesla plans to wind down production of its Cybertruck at Gigafactory Texas around mid-next year, shifting focus to increased Cybercab production due to the Cybertruck's declining sales and limited buyer appeal.
Detroit, MI, November 6, 2026 —
Tesla, the electric vehicle manufacturer, is reportedly planning to cease production of its Cybertruck model at its Gigafactory Texas facility. The company intends to wind down these operations around the middle of next year.
This strategic shift is driven by a reallocation of resources and production focus towards the increased manufacturing of Tesla’s Cybercab. The decision comes in the wake of what is described as declining sales and limited buyer appeal for the Cybertruck, according to the provided summary.

Similarly, the total number of Cybertruck units produced or planned to be produced before the wind-down was not specified.
The Gigafactory Texas, located in Austin, Texas, serves as a key manufacturing hub for Tesla.

Further details on the operational changes and future product lines are anticipated to be disclosed by Tesla.
