Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced that the company will cease production of the Cybertruck next year, following its underwhelming performance. The much-anticipated autonomous electric vehicle did not meet the high expectations set for it and underperformed in sales. Instead, Tesla will shift its focus to boosting production of the Cybercab robotaxi, according to Musk's post on his X platform.
The Cybertruck, launched in 2019, was initially expected to sell up to 250,000 units annually but only managed to sell around 50,000 units. The vehicle faced numerous issues, including price overruns, safety concerns, and a failure to meet its initial price promise of $39,900. Its production was also marred by a failed durability test, where its windows shattered after being hit by a metal ball.
Despite these setbacks, Tesla recently unveiled its next-generation Roadster, set to go into production in 2028, boasting a top speed of zero to 100kph in just one second.
