Tesla Will Wind Down Cybertruck Production Next Year, Musk Says
Tesla will wind down Cybertruck production at its Texas gigafactory next year, CEO Elon Musk said Friday on X.
- 8,295 "Other Models" deliveries in the third quarter, including Cybertruck.
- 12,364 deliveries came in that category the prior quarter.
- The truck faced multiple recalls, quality problems and repeated price changes.
- Regulators in parts of Europe made approval hard to obtain.
Why it matters: Musk says the wind-down makes room for more Cybercab output. He has called that driverless car central to Tesla's robotaxi plans.
- Tesla's Austin plant is its only known site equipped for Cybertruck parts.
- Lead engineer Wes Morrill wrote that Cybertruck "lives on through Cybercab."
