Tesla CEO Elon Musk has provided a substantial update on one of the company’s most notable vehicles. The Cybertruck will “wind down” production at the company’s Texas Gigafactory as it shifts its production focus to the Cybercab.

Elon Musk made the announcement in a post on X. “Tesla will be winding down production of the Cybertruck at Gigafactory Texas around the middle of next year to make room for increased Cybercab production,” he wrote.

The Cybercab is Tesla’s long-discussed autonomous robotaxi. In 2024, Tesla said that the Cybercab would be priced at under $30,000. The battery-powered car seats two people, and the first deployments hit Austin, Texas, earlier this year. 

It’s unclear if the Cybertruck will be produced elsewhere as its production in Texas comes to an end. The EV, which received a lot of attention over its unconventional design, was also in development for years before being released to the public in 2023. Elon Musk said in response to one fan that the Cybertruck fleet will be around “for a long time.”
