Tesla to end Cybertruck production in mid-2027 to make room for the Cybercab
Published
Tesla has announced that it will halt production of the Cybertruck in mid-2027. The decision is meant to free up space for the Cybercab, the new vehicle the company is pushing hard. The Cybertruck, the electric pick-up with its angular design and exposed stainless steel, was one of the most recognisable models from the American carmaker.
The Cybercab is a robotaxi, that is, a driverless car designed to carry paying passengers. The vehicle has two seats and has neither a steering wheel nor pedals. This means it is not designed to be driven by a person, but operates entirely with an automated driving system. Tesla presents it as a solution for the urban transport of the future.
The choice to stop a model already on the market in order to prioritise a new vehicle shows how much the company believes in autonomous driving. The transition from the Cybertruck to the Cybercab will, however, require a reorganisation of factories and production, and not all the details of the operation are yet clear.
For Italian readers, the news is a sign of how rapidly the car industry is changing. Electric cars and automated driving systems are becoming increasingly important, and the coming years will show whether robotaxis can also be used in European and Italian cities.
