Tesla will be winding down production of the Cybertruck at Gigafactory Texas around the middle of 2027 to make room for increased Cybercab production.
Cybercab production capacity can increase with more factory shifts and the factory space currently used for Cybertruck.
Cybercab can make $50,000 per year as a robotaxi.

Cybertruck was needed to develop the 48 volt architecture that Cybercab uses. This is needed for the unboxed modular construction process. The unboxed process will parallelize making multiple modules at the same time. This will enable ten times faster cybercab production and higher scale and lower cost.
Tesla and the Cybertruck’s lead engineer (Wes Morrill) have described it as a technology development platform. Morrill said Cybertruck was an incredible technology development platform and lives on through Cybercab.
