Following the news that Tesla will no longer launch its Cybertruck electric pickup in Australia, it’s now been confirmed that the truck’s production will be wound down at the company’s Texas Gigafactory.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk confirmed the news in a post to the X social network. Production will wind down from the middle of next year, with the autonomous Cybertruck set to be built at the facility instead.
There has been no suggestion that Cybertruck manufacturing will move to a new factory, so this could well be the end of the vehicle’s lifecycle after being officially unveiled in November of 2019.
At the time, the truck as supposed to retail for less than $40,000 before it was eventually put on sale for $69,990. It has also faced recalls and safety concerns since its arrival, with a lack of quality control being a problem that many buyers pointed to. Doors that didn’t close properly and panels that didn’t line up were just some of the issues reported.
Tesla might have announced the Cybertruck in 2019, but it took another four years for it to hit roads.
And even now, it has only sold around 71,000 of the trucks, which, as Engadget notes, is considerably less than the 250,000 per year that had been projected.
