Tesla to wind down Cybertruck production amid weak sales

Tesla will gradually reduce Cybertruck production at its Texas gigafactory starting around mid-2027, CEO Elon Musk said on Friday, after years of poor sales for the futuristic pickup once touted as a rival to legacy trucks, Korea Times reports. Yonhap adds that Musk called it "the end of an era," and the company plans to expand production of its autonomous taxi, the Cybercab, to accelerate its shift toward self-driving and robotics. Korean media highlighted the contrast with initial ambitions: Dong-A Ilbo notes Tesla had once targeted annual sales of 500,000 units but sold only about 20,000, while Maeil Business Newspaper recalls the Cybertruck was a "hot topic car" that even G-Dragon rode. The production halt is seen as a setback for Tesla's entry into the pickup market, with the model now heading toward discontinuation.
