Tesla CEO Shifts Manufacturing Priorities Toward Cybercab
Tesla Cybercab production is set to gain space at Gigafactory Texas after CEO Elon Musk said Cybertruck assembly there would wind down around mid-2027. Announced November 6, the shift prioritizes robotaxi manufacturing at the facility. Factory capacity figures, declining U.S. pickup sales, and a federal safety review provide context for the decision. Key Takeaways Elon Musk announced on November 6, 2026, that Cybertruck production at Gigafactory Texas would wind down around mid-2027 Tesla plans to use the available factory space to increase Cybercab production, although no revised output target was disclosed U.S. Cybertruck sales fell approximately 48% in 2025 and another 28% during the first nine months of 2026, according to Kelley Blue Book estimates Tesla began operating Cybercab rides in Austin on September 3, 2026, while federal regulators opened a vehicle certification review the following day Tesla has not confirmed whether Cybertruck manufacturing will end entirely or move to another facility Tesla is preparing to shift manufacturing capacity from its Cybertruck pickup to its Cybercab autonomous vehicle, marking a significant production decision at the company’s Texas factory. In a November 6 post on X, Musk said the change would take place “to make room for increased Cybercab production.” The announcement establishes a manufacturing priority but leaves several operational details unresolved, including the amount of capacity being reassigned and the Cybertruck’s future production location. The decision comes as Tesla expands its autonomous ride-hailing operations following a prolonged decline in estimated Cybertruck sales. It also places greater attention on the company’s ability to manufacture and deploy purpose-built autonomous vehicles at scale. Tesla Cybercab Production Takes Priority at Gigafactory Texas Tesla’s third-quarter 2026 report identifies Gigafactory Texas as the production location for the Model Y, Cybertruck, and Cybercab.
