Washington (United States) (AFP) - Tesla will gradually reduce production of its Cybertruck pickup truck towards mid-2027, Elon Musk said this Friday, signaling a likely end for a vehicle that failed to meet its sales expectations.

Tesla will stop manufacturing the truck in mid-2027 at its Texas factory to free up space for production of its Cybercab autonomous robotaxi, according to Musk.
"Tesla will be reducing production of the Cybertruck at Gigafactory Texas towards the middle of next year to make room for more production of the Cybercab," Musk wrote in X.
Musk did not specify whether production will be moved to another factory or if production will be stopped completely.
Wes Morrill, chief engineer of the Cybertruck, wrote in another post that the truck "was an incredible technological development platform and lives on through the Cybercab."
Tesla followers lamented the disappearance of the Cybertruck on X, the social network owned by Musk, but the tycoon assured that the Cybertruck fleet "will continue to exist for a long time."
This futuristic-looking stainless steel behemoth was unveiled in November 2019, and Musk claimed at the time that he had received 250,000 pre-orders in a matter of days.
