Unplugged Performance Offers to Take Over Tesla’s Cybertruck Line

Unplugged Performance proposed operating Tesla’s Cybertruck manufacturing line after Tesla said it plans to stop producing the truck in 2027, offering investor funding and an arrangement it says would preserve Tesla’s focus on Cybercab.

Tesla plans to end Cybertruck production at its Austin Gigafactory in 2027 as it shifts its attention to Cybercab, the company’s autonomous taxi.

Unplugged Performance, an aftermarket parts and upgrade company, made its offer in a post on X Tuesday, Nov. 10. “We’d fund it with a consortium of investors and run it at no cost to Tesla’s floor space, headcount, or focus,” the company wrote.

Tesla had not responded to the proposal as of Nov. 12.
