RIP Cybertruck. You Were Unloved, Unwanted, and Utterly Absurd
|
Elon Musk announced that Tesla will cease Cybertruck production at its Texas factory by mid-2025 to make room for Cybercab manufacturing. Despite generating over a million reservations, the polarizing electric pickup sold fewer than 50,000 units and faced declining sales, along with numerous design and manufacturing defects including suspension issues, loose accelerator pedals, and detaching trim panels. The vehicle's troubled four-year production run was marked by its infamous 2019 launch demo where its "unbreakable" windows shattered twice when struck with a steel ball.
