Musk: Tesla muss Anzahlungen für Cybertruck zurückzahlen
Der Hersteller stoppt die Produktion des Pick-ups. Viele Kunden, die bereits bestellt haben, dürften nun leer ausgehen. Sie sollen ihr Geld zurückerhalten, verspricht Elon Musk.
San Francisco - Tesla will be repaying deposits from many customers who placed orders for the Cybertruck without receiving the vehicle, said the company's CEO Elon Musk on Monday via the X platform. The electric vehicle manufacturer announced on Friday that it would cease production of the pickup at its Texas factory within about eight months.
Musk stated that Tesla would build as many vehicles as possible before shutting down the production line, but it would reimburse the deposits to many of the customers. To work through pending orders, the company plans to introduce an additional shift in its factory before the Cybertruck must make way for the development of the autonomous driving robotaxi Cybercab, expected to begin in mid-2027.
The Cybertruck has been delivered since the end of 2023, but demand has fallen far short of expectations. Last year, US sales fell by 48 percent, according to data from market research firm Kelley Blue Book, with just 20,237 units sold. Musk had initially predicted an annual sales target of 250,000 vehicles.
