Tesla Nears Halt of Cybertruck Production

From the report

Due to lower-than-expected sales, US car manufacturer Tesla is planning to stop production of its electric pickup truck, the Cybertruck. By mid-2027, the vehicle’s production line will be moved from its Texas factory in the United States. Instead, the company aims to increase production of its self-driving taxi, the Cybercab.

According to a Reuters report, Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced this plan in a post on social media platform X last Friday. He stated that Cybertruck production would be reduced, and the factory’s capacity would be utilized for Cybercab manufacturing. However, there has been no definitive announcement yet on whether Cybertruck production will be transferred to another factory or entirely discontinued.

The following day, Saturday, Musk further stated that an additional shift would be introduced in production to fulfill pending Cybertruck orders. He claimed that current orders must be completed before the production line is moved to increase Cybercab production in June-July 2027.
