A fair question we’re hearing: can UP really run the Cybertruck vehicle line?
Not alone, and not overnight. Tesla expects to dismantle the line around mid-2027. Until then, we’re organizing interested investors, recruiting experienced manufacturing talent and partners, and choosing a location. We’d like to be near Giga Texas.
Production would need to ramp back up, and it may be cell constrained. Peak output may be lower and unit costs may be higher. A reset is hard, premature death is harder. We choose reset.
We believe this is highly fundable because one production platform serves three markets: existing demand for the pickup, pent-up demand for a seven-seat SUV, and Robotaxi network vehicles in useful all-terrain form factors (seven-seat people movers, cargo haulers, and pickups). Those markets have no feasible second best alternative with Tesla Autonomy.
We’re full believers in Optimus. When Tesla has units ready, we aim to build a line where humans and humanoids work coordinated shifts around the clock.
This depends on attracting people who believe in the mission: extending the joy of this cutting-edge technology platform onto roads not yet traveled. Tesla has set the bar themselves for what a qualified operator looks like, and we intend to meet it. There is perhaps no company as loyal or committed to Tesla as UP. We’ve built on Tesla platforms since 2013, and we’d be honored to carry the torch.
We’re grateful for the outpouring of support from Tesla owners and shareholders, and we look forward to continuing the discussion.
For those looking to contribute: cyber@unpluggedperformance.com
An open offer to Tesla: We fully support putting Cybercab first, and we’d be glad to take the Cybertruck line off your hands.
We’d fund it with a consortium of investors and run it at no cost to Tesla’s floor space, headcount, or focus. All of that goes to Cybercab. Cybercab gets first call on battery cells too. We’ll wait our turn.
Tesla gains incremental profit: a license fee, plus FSD and Robotaxi network revenues on every vehicle built.
We’d build the Cybertruck, a three-row CyberSUV, and an unmanned CyberCargo hauler. More autonomous miles, across every surface of this planet and beyond.
Worth a conversation?

@elonmusk I love the Cybercab, but it can’t get me here. We need SUVs and @cybertruck This is America. We can do two things at once!!!

January 28: Elon said the Cybertruck line would go fully autonomous.
This week: it’s being wound down for Cybercab.
What changed? The Cybertruck line is Tesla’s most autonomy-ready platform. My full analysis below. Tell me my blind spots.

#savecybertruck Don’t do it Elon! The world needs police Cybertrucks, off-road & camping vehicles, etc.

Want to know how the @Tesla Optimus factory under construction at Giga Texas is progressing? I’d say it is moving along at warp speed!
This facility is to manufacture up to 10M/year humanoid robots & will be over 7 million sq ft (~3,500 ft long) once completed including a substantial part of the factory using 4 floors! This factory is in addition to the pilot line at Fremont that has reportedly already begun small-scale production.
Right now, the main steel structure is ~55% assembled with a noticeable widening of the surrounding ground grading & reclamation of a large section of abandoned sand & gravel mining area on the E side of the new factory.
As I understand it, the target is to have the entire steel structure assembled with final topping ceremony held around the end of March 2027. This won’t be the end of construction as it will still need a lot more to complete the facility, install the production equipment & have utilities connected, particularly power, so massive construction work will continue throughout most of 2027.
The approach to construction of this factory differs significantly to the approach used for the main Giga Texas factory in that it will be substantially closed in before major equipment is installed.
There are also some ground level utilities, footings and final perimeter grade beam work underway, with the E side of the building now taking shape with what appears to be a large open section about 4 column grids wide along this side of the facility.
Per Tesla the goal will be to be able to begin some *very limited* production here sometime at the end of 2027 & then scale up production capability from there through 2028.

The Cybercab has officially surpassed the Model Y in total robotaxi registrations in Texas.
Vehicles registered for Tesla’s Robotaxi fleet in Texas:
• Cybercab: 544
• Model Y: 507
Total: 1,051

The full video is now live on @YouTube!
A big thank you to @larsmoravy, @EricETesla, and the rest of the Tesla team for taking the time to walk us through the Cybercab and share the engineering, design, and technology behind it.

Come to Cyberfest cybertruckfestival.com and watch me drift the Man Cave truck. By the way, success is not guaranteed. It'll probably work. But if it doesn't work, you’re at a safe distance. And the excitement is 100% guaranteed!

Here's an in-depth look at the new @Tesla Roadster's UI. Love the retro-futuristic design aesthetic.

NEW: The Tesla Roadster *literally* does a flying kickflip over the entire Tesla fleet 🔥🔥🔥

7:55 PM is 19:55 in 24-hour time.
That reads as a clean nod to 1955, the year Marty goes back to in Back to the Future.
Combined with the hidden “Where we’re going…” line already in the teaser, it looks like another deliberate Back to the Future reference for the thruster/hover demo.
