What happened
- Tesla will wind down Cybertruck production at its Texas factory around mid-2027 to make room for more Cybercab robotaxis, CEO Elon Musk said.
- Deliveries of the electric pickup began in late 2023, with Musk predicting eventual sales of 250,000 trucks a year.
- U.S. Cybertruck sales fell 48% to 20,237 in 2025, according to Kelley Blue BookKelley Blue Bookan Irvine, California-based vehicle valuation and automotive research company estimates.
- The truck has faced multiple safety recalls, including for accelerator pedals that could become stuck.
- Musk has not said whether production will move elsewhere or end entirely; Texas is Tesla’s only known factory equipped to build the truck.
How the left told it
Left-leaning outlets largely framed the wind-down as the outcome of weak sales and product problems, often alongside Musk’s political setbacks. The Guardian called it a “failed effort” to enter the pickup market; HuffPost emphasized poor sales and recalls, while CNN placed the announcement within a “bruising week” for Musk.
How the right told it
Right-leaning outlets largely framed the decision as a shift toward robotaxis after Cybertruck sales missed expectations. The New York Post highlighted its struggle to win “mass-market appeal,” while Fox Business called the move a “retreat” from a Musk pet project and emphasized the factory’s shift to Cybercab production.
