Tesla to wind down Cybertruck production as Elon Musk focuses on robotics and AI

Elon Musk said Tesla will stop Cybertruck production at its Texas factory around the middle of next year to make room for increased Cybercab output, without saying whether the vehicle will be built elsewhere. The Cybertruck, which began deliveries in late 2023 and was never sold in Europe for failing to meet safety standards, fell far short of Musk's 200,000-a-year target, with Tesla delivering only 8,300 "other models" in the third quarter of 2026. Musk has pinned Tesla's hopes on robotics, AI and an autonomous driving fleet, and the Texas plant will also build the Optimus humanoid robot.
