Unplugged Performance has publicly proposed taking over the production of the Tesla Cybertruck. The tuner intends to fund the project through a consortium of investors and claims the operations would not require Tesla to sacrifice floor space, headcount, or focus.
The proposal follows Elon Musk’s announcement that Tesla plans to wind down Cybertruck production at Giga Texas by mid-2027. Currently, the vehicle is selling at approximately 12% of the originally planned 250,000 units per year.
Under the terms of the offer, Tesla would receive a licensing fee along with revenue from FSD and the Robotaxi network for every vehicle produced. Unplugged Performance also plans to expand the lineup to include a three-row CyberSUV and an unmanned CyberCargo hauler.
Tesla has not yet responded to the offer. The company previously stated that the production halt is necessary to make room for increased Cybercab manufacturing, despite reports indicating that Giga Texas operates well below its 125,000-unit installed capacity for the truck.
