Tesla will stop making the Cybertruck next year, according to CEO Elon Musk, who said on X that the company will use the factory space to build more two-seater Cybercab robotaxis.
The decision to wind down the futuristic, steel-clad EV comes after just a few short years of underwhelming sales. When Musk handed over the first few Cybertrucks in late 2023, he predicted Tesla would sell around 250,000 per year. It was supposed to be such a cornerstone of Tesla’s future that, before construction began, the company talked about its Texas factory as the “Cybertruck factory.” But Tesla has instead sold just tens of thousands — total — over the last three years.
And so every cyberfuck owner now has a brick in their parking spot.
They can part them out and make back a few bucks--batteries, motors, stainless steel, maybe the wheels--nothing like the ~$100K they’re in debt for, though. Maybe if they strip the body off, some of them can build something useful on the chassis? Or, are they complete garbage?
EDIT: Ope, nope, they aren’t built like that at all. I suppose most cars aren’t anymore, everything is “unibody”:

It’s all weird aluminum castings but why 3d scanning and an inordinate amount of work anything is possible to rebody with enough time and money.
Cast aluminum frame 🤣
not even stainless steel, cheap aluminum frame.
When your batteries weigh a literal ton (or more) you have to make everything else as light as possible.
That’s another reason why having an 1/8” stainless body was so fucking stupid.
Gluing aluminum to stainless is an even dumber idea anywhere that salts its roads. That’s like counting a coating dissimilar metals in electrolytes.
scraping it maybe only the useful thing at this point.
Hard not to hope the same for any moron who gave this pedophile money past his nazi outing
a 100k poorly constructed coffin.
Never had anything else
