Tesla to pull the plug on Cybertruck after years of poor sales

Tesla plans to end Cybertruck production by mid-2027, according to CEO Elon Musk. The decision follows weak sales, with U.S. deliveries dropping 48% in 2024. Musk stated the move will support increased output of the Cybercab, central to Tesla's robotaxi plans. The Cybertruck faced design and regulatory challenges, with 11 recalls since its 2023 launch. Tesla did not comment on the announcement.
