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.

And like the Delorean, it will soon become a curious historical item.

    The difference is the DeLorean holds a place of affection, due to its starting role in Back to the Future, and being a cool looking car.

    The SwatiKKKar was just butt ugly from the getgo. It will never have the star power of the DeLorean.

    Also the DeLorean has actually interesting history and design aspects like as Jameskii noted when he was rebuilding his Yugo prototype for some fucken reason they used DeLorean parts. Also the DeLorean is one of those things where a lot elements from its design were adopted even if the whole was kinda questionable.
