Cybertruck lead engineer Wes Morrill then suggested that Cybertruck was being discontinued.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">But Musk said today that production will now be extended through the end of summer 2027. He did not put a firm date on the end of production, but did provide some commentary around the decision, saying: \u201cThis is not the smartest move from a profit-maximizing standpoint btw, but there must be some room in this world for sentimentality or what\u2019s the point?\u201d<\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\" data-cy=\"article-slideshow\"><span data-cy=\"slideshow-view-trigger\"><\/p>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-preview\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 slideshow-preview\">\n<h3 class=\"title5 jsx-62124236 jsx-1085005187\" data-cy=\"slideshow-preview-title\">Tesla Cybertruck Official Release &#8211; Slideshow<\/h3>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-images-container\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 images-container\"><button type=\"button\" data-cy=\"hero-image\" aria-label=\"Open Slideshow\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 hero-image\"><img alt=\"\" aria-hidden=\"true\" decoding=\"async\" role=\"presentation\" class=\"progressive-image jsx-2277167929 image aspect-ratio aspect-ratio-16-9 jsx-2605834259 jsx-2338608387 hover-opacity\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"\/><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/output><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">The angular Cybertruck launched in 2023 to much fanfare, but sales have been poor. Indeed, the truck has suffered online ridicule ever since it was introduced in 2019, when Musk himself shattered its supposed unbreakable glass during a live demo.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">While fans of both Musk and Cybertruck have welcomed the news, there is no suggestion here that Tesla is making a long-term commitment to production of the vehicle. The focus, now, is on <u>Cybercab<\/u>, which Musk has said will play a crucial role in Tesla\u2019s robotaxi plans. According to <u>Reuters<\/u>, the two-seater robotaxi is still a small program, with production beginning only earlier this year. Tesla has listed an installed capacity of more than 125,000 units.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><em>Photo by FREDERIC J.
