Tesla plans to add an extra shift at its Texas factory before dismantling the Cybertruck production line.
CEO Elon Musk put the changeover at around June or July 2027, when Tesla plans to use the space to build more Cybercabs.
Musk said on 7 November that Tesla had more Cybertruck orders than it could fill at its current pace before the line came out. The extra shift is an attempt to get those trucks built in time.
Texas is the only factory Tesla lists for Cybertruck production in its latest quarterly update. The company has yet to name another site for the pick-up, which never went on official sale in the UK.
The Cybertruck reached its first customers in late 2023, around the time Musk predicted annual sales of 250,000. Kelley Blue Book estimates Tesla sold 38,965 in the US in 2024 and 20,237 in 2025.
US sales continued to slide in 2026. Kelley Blue Book estimates 11,586 Cybertrucks were sold through September, down 28% from the same period a year earlier.
Tesla already builds the Cybercab in Texas. The two-seat robotaxi has no steering wheel or pedals, and Tesla says it started carrying passengers in Austin on 3 September.
