Tesla is set to halt production of its Cybertruck in Texas as the company shifts its focus towards self-driving Cybercabs, chief executive Elon Musk has said.
The move raises questions about the future of the electric pick-up, which has been one of Tesla’s most prominent recent vehicle launches. The supplied information does not specify when production will stop or whether the decision represents a permanent end to the Cybertruck programme.
Musk’s announcement links the production change to Tesla’s focus on Cybercabs, the company’s self-driving vehicles. No further details have been provided about the planned transition, including how it will affect the Cybertruck or Tesla’s wider vehicle production.
The latest known position is that production in Texas is due to halt while the company prioritises its self-driving vehicle plans. Further information would be needed to establish the timing and longer-term implications for the Cybertruck.
