Tesla plans to stop making the Cybertruck at its Texas factory

Tesla plans to stop making the Cybertruck, its boxy, futuristic pick-up truck, according to the Financial Times. The carmaker will wind down production at its gigafactory in Texas, the large plant where the truck is built. The report says Elon Musk is shifting the company's focus toward robotics and artificial intelligence.

What changed

The Cybertruck was one of Tesla's most talked-about vehicles. Now, per the report, it is no longer a long-term priority. Winding down means production will slow and then end, rather than stop in a single day. The material does not say how fast that will happen.

Who it affects

The most direct impact is on people who own a Cybertruck or were thinking about buying one. A vehicle that is no longer being built can raise practical questions about repairs, replacement parts and what the truck will be worth later. Workers at the Texas plant may also wonder what comes next, though the report as provided does not address jobs.

What is not known yet

Several details are missing from the material available. There is no end date for production. There is no word on whether Tesla will keep selling remaining trucks, or how it will handle service and parts. Tesla's own comment was not included either.

What to do

• Owners can ask Tesla about service and parts availability for the truck.
• Buyers should ask how the decision could affect resale value.
• Anyone with an open order should ask for the latest status in writing.
