Tesla will stop making the Cybertruck next year, according to CEO Elon Musk, who said on X that the company will use the factory space to build more two-seater Cybercab robotaxis.

The decision to wind down the futuristic, steel-clad EV comes after just a few short years of underwhelming sales. When Musk handed over the first few Cybertrucks in late 2023, he predicted Tesla would sell around 250,000 per year. It was supposed to be such a cornerstone of Tesla’s future that, before construction began, the company talked about its Texas factory as the “Cybertruck factory.” But Tesla has instead sold just tens of thousands — total — over the last three years.

    Yeah, I agree with you. People would mock how it looked, and still do. I think it looks fine. It’s not a very popular opinion, I realize.

    Given what I’ve read about it, I’m not sure I’d want to even take a short ride in it. Seems like it has many safety concerns. I have no idea how it’s even on the road…

    And that’s before you get into all the many issues of the asshole Elon.
