Briefings

Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced the end of Cybertruck production in mid-2027, freeing factory space for more Cybercabs. The vehicle, unveiled in late 2019, features an angular design based on low-res video game models rather than practical engineering, with Musk claiming the stainless steel monocoque chassis would be useless. Production ceased in 2027, ending a failed market strategy that initially aimed for sub-$40,000 pricing.
