TESLA INC will wind down Cybertruck production at its Texas factory around mid-2027 to boost Cybercab manufacturing capacity, CEO Elon Musk said. The futuristic pickup truck struggled to achieve broad market adoption after launching as a rival to models from GENERAL MOTORS CO and FORD MOTOR CO in the United States. Shifting factory capacity toward autonomous vehicles marks a pivotal strategic pivot for the automaker's core robotics ambitions.
