Tesla Winding Down Production of Cybertruck, Musk Says -- WSJ

Tesla will wind down production of the Cybertruck at its so-called gigafactory in Texas next year, Chief Executive Elon Musk said.
In a post on X on Friday, Musk said the move is to "make room" for increased production of its self-driving Cybercab.
The decision comes as the stainless-steel pickup has experienced slow demand and Musk said the company is pivoting its business toward robotaxis and humanoid robots.
Musk unveiled a prototype for the Cybertruck in 2019 with high expectations. The angular, pickup was supposed to generate buzz for Tesla by showcasing new technology and unlocking the lucrative truck market. He told investors it would be Tesla's "best product ever."
Instead, its reputation has been tarnished among Tesla fans because of a spate of recalls and manufacturing issues that have resulted in cycles of repairs.
The electric-vehicle maker discontinued its luxury Model S and X vehicles earlier this year.
