The decision to halt production of Tesla’s polarizing polygonal pickup marks the end of an error.

Elon Musk, in a post on X, has officially called time on the Cybertruck, stating that “Tesla will be winding down production of the Cybertruck at Gigafactory Texas around the middle of next year to make room for increased Cybercab production.”

Produced for less than four years, the polarizing pickup is seemingly dying as it lived, with the news being greeted in a flurry of replies in praise of the EV as well as deriding it. James Star, claiming to be a Tesla employee, posted that it was “the saddest news! Cybertruck (was) the best car Tesla sold,” right next to a user called Captain Ford who simply replied to Musk with “Fuck that shitbox.”

    and also dangerous to drive. when i ever see a CT driver, its either asian or a right winger, or right winger pedalling thier construction/Trade business(as a decal). as for asians (the ones immigrated from asia, mostly chinese) are quite ignorant of drama, so they think anything musk, is something to flex about.

      Big boxy vehicles with flat panel space tend to be used a lot for advertising, yeah. The Honda Element was used for vinyl wraps a lot, too, but it was 1000x safer and less murdery. (And not tied to any obvious nazis.)

      Somebody by now, has to have replaced the tanks in the infamous Tiananmen Square photo with cybertrucks…I’m not 100% sure the message that’d even send but it seems like it’d be fitting for some reason. Lol

      Someone had a cybertruck rapped for their business parked at a trunk or treat we brought my kid to last year. The guy looked surprised when the only thing that came out of my mouth was “ew”. It was my first time seeing one in person.

      Asians because we know a good deal when we see it, but don’t care about politics.

      I had to talk my dad out of buying it.

        It’s so awkward explaining to Chinese people that Musk is 1. dumb as shit 2. a fascist.
