  • •Tesla will refund deposits for many Cybertruck orders as production halts.
  • •Sales of the Cybertruck fell 48% last year, with only 20,237 units sold.
  • •The Cybertruck will be replaced by the Cybercab, central to Tesla's autonomous vehicle plans.

Elon Musk announced that Tesla will stop production of the Cybertruck by mid-2027, refunding deposits to many customers. The decision follows disappointing sales, with a 48% drop in US sales last year, totaling 20,237 units. The Cybertruck, launched in late 2023, has faced multiple recalls and quality issues, leading to its classification as a commercial failure. Tesla aims to shift resources to the Cybercab, a key component of its autonomous vehicle strategy. The Cybertruck lacks EU type approval, preventing its sale in that market. Musk's shift in focus reflects a broader strategy to pivot Tesla towards robotics and autonomous driving.
