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.

The 39000 base model lightning would have been perfect. But dealership markups would have prevented it from ever happening anyway. I still see them all over, I'm not sure how all these people are paying for $80k trucks, it's insane. Riding my 2009 out until it dies or falls apart, hoping for an affordable pick-up when that time comes. Might just get a used lightning if the price is right.
