Good Riddance to the Cybertruck, the Chariot of the Dumbest Gods
Tesla is ending production of the Cybertruck and shifting its focus toward building the Cybercab. Elon Musk previously called the vehicle his best product ever, but the truck faced a sales slump and was wound down after being labeled a heavily hyped pickup flop. Tesla plans to add a manufacturing shift to clear existing orders before dismantling the production line next year. The abrupt termination marks the end of a polarizing vehicle experiment that became a cultural flashpoint across America and signals a broader shift away from large electric truck bets.

Tesla Ends Cybertruck Production to Focus on Cybercab
Tesla is ending production of the Cybertruck and shifting its focus toward building the Cybercab. Elon Musk previously called the vehicle his best product ever, but the truck faced a sales slump and was wound down after being labeled a heavily hyped pickup flop.
