Musk says Tesla will wind down Cybertruck production for Cybercab

Elon Musk said early on 6 November 2026 that Tesla will wind down Cybertruck production at Gigafactory Texas around the middle of next year so the plant can raise Cybercab output.

On X, Musk wrote that 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. That single sentence is the full official statement so far. Tesla has not published a matching press release in the sources reviewed here, and Musk did not say whether Cybertruck assembly would stop entirely, move to another plant, or leave a limited run in place.

How EV outlets are reading it

Electrek covered the post the same morning and framed the move as the end of a low volume programme rather than a pure space crunch. Electrek notes that Tesla folds Cybertruck deliveries into an "Other Models" bucket with Model S, Model X, and the Semi, and that the company had planned the Cybertruck line for far higher annual volume than recent "Other Models" deliveries imply. Those sales estimates and capacity figures are Electrek's analysis, not a fresh Tesla disclosure in Musk's post.

Musk's wording points to Cybercab as the reason for reclaiming the Texas line. Electrek argues Giga Texas still has large unused floorspace and that Cybercab volume is not yet competing hard for that space, so demand for the truck itself may be the bigger driver. That is Electrek's interpretation. The only primary claim from Tesla's CEO remains the wind down timing and the Cybercab rationale.

What is still unknown

Owners and dealers still lack official answers on how long inventory will be sold, how parts and service will be supported, and whether any Cybertruck capacity will remain after the middle of 2027. Until Tesla issues a fuller product plan, treat the news as Musk's production statement, corroborated in reporting by Electrek and other outlets that quote the same X post.
