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.

    it’ll have sold only slightly less than the F150,

    What? I must be completely misunderstanding you, because in just 2025, Ford sold 828,842 F-series trucks. The Cybertruck has sold in the tens of thousands. Period. Over its lifetime.

    500m of range

    Half a kilometer really isn’t that much ;-)
