Tesla to wind down Cybertruck production in Texas next year to ramp Cybercab, Musk says
CNBC · Michael Wayland, Lora Kolodny ·
The Cybertruck and its polarizing design gained a niche following, but it did not achieve mass-market sales and Tesla has issued several voluntary recalls.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk on Friday said the electric vehicle maker will "be winding down" production of the Cybertruck at its Texas gigafactory around the middle of next year.
Musk, who hailed the Cybertruck as the future of the pickup truck segment, said in a post on X early Friday morning that the end of production at the massive facility would make room for manufacturing of its Cybercab robotaxi.
The Cybertruck is exclusively produced at the company's plant in Texas alongside the Tesla Model Y and two-seat Cybercab, which Musk has touted as a crucial product for the automaker moving forward.
