<div id="readability-page-1"><div> <p>Tesla plans to temporarily halt production of its Model Y and Cybertruck vehicles at its Gigafactory in Austin, Texas, during the week of June 30 to July 6. The production pause, first reported by <em>Business Insider,</em> will allow the company to perform maintenance and make improvements to its assembly lines.</p> <p>According to the report, employees were informed that they can either use paid time off or take part in voluntary training and facility cleaning during the downtime.</p> <p>This will be at least the third production pause at the Texas plant in the past year. Tesla previously halted operations on the same lines in late May, incorporating workplace culture training for staff. In December, Cybertruck production was paused due to battery supply issues, and in April, the company scaled back output of the electric pickup and reassigned some workers.</p> <p>While Tesla told staff the latest maintenance is intended to support a production ramp-up, the company has not clarified which lines will see increased output. The move also comes amid speculation about softer demand and broader challenges across the EV market. Tesla’s deliveries declined 13% year-over-year in Q1 2025, and fewer than 50,000 Cybertrucks have been delivered to date, according to a March 2025 voluntary recall notice involving the potential for an exterior trim panel falling off the vehicle while driving.</p> <p>Despite these challenges, Tesla remains focused on the rollout of its long-anticipated Robotaxi program. CEO Elon Musk recently confirmed that the first self-driving rides, using a small fleet of Model Ys, are tentatively set to begin in Austin on June 22. Musk added that vehicles will also be capable of driving from the factory to a customer’s house by the end of the month. </p> <p>However, he emphasized the company’s caution, noting the timeline could shift depending on safety assessments.</p> <p>Production pauses around holiday periods are common in the auto industry and are often used for line upgrades or to adjust inventory. Ford, for example, paused F-150 Lightning production for seven weeks in late 2024.</p>   </div></div>
