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.”
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
