The decision to halt production of Tesla’s polarizing polygonal pickup marks the end of an error.

Elon Musk, in a post on X, has officially called time on the Cybertruck, stating that “Tesla will be winding down production of the Cybertruck at Gigafactory Texas around the middle of next year to make room for increased Cybercab production.”

Produced for less than four years, the polarizing pickup is seemingly dying as it lived, with the news being greeted in a flurry of replies in praise of the EV as well as deriding it. James Star, claiming to be a Tesla employee, posted that it was “the saddest news! Cybertruck (was) the best car Tesla sold,” right next to a user called Captain Ford who simply replied to Musk with “Fuck that shitbox.”

    It looked cool in the ironic or retro kind of thing. Like it could have been from an 80 movie.

    As a serious, professional and expensive car, it’s a joke. Like the car Homer designed.

      Yeah, I think it looks good to people who would rather play video games than drive anything.

      I’m not a car person so all cars look like shit to me. Not that I’d ever but one of my own, but that one at least looked appealing.

      But again, car people will undoubtedly disagree.
