Musk Says Cybertruck Orders Exceed Output Before Texas Wind-Down

Tesla CEO Elon Musk said Cybertruck orders exceed what the company can build before winding down Texas production around mid-2027, as the automaker prepares to expand Cybercab output at the factory.

In a Nov. 7 post, Musk said the backlog exceeds the number of trucks Tesla expects to build before the Texas wind-down.

His comments follow the mid-2027 plan to wind down Cybertruck assembly at Gigafactory Texas that he announced Nov. 6.

The Texas factory change is intended to free capacity for more Cybercab production. Cybertruck is Tesla’s stainless-steel electric pickup, while Cybercab is its planned robotaxi. Musk’s announcements concern the Texas production line; they do not establish an end to Cybertruck production across Tesla.
