The Best Car Ever Will Be Discontinued Next Year

11/09 2026 464

The Cybertruck electric pickup, which Musk called "Tesla's best product ever," will be discontinued in the middle of next year, with the reason being to free up production lines for the self-driving taxi Cybercab:

The futuristic electric pickup, on which Musk had placed high hopes, lasted less than four years before being relegated to the sidelines. During that period, it was recalled at least 11 times due to quality hazards, and even Trump noticed that the Cybertruck display vehicle unveiled on the South Lawn of the White House was not quite right, declining Old Ma's enthusiastic urging and instead choosing a red Model S Plaid.

According to statistics released by a third-party organization, the ill-fated Cybertruck has sold a total of 73,000 units since small-batch deliveries began in 2023, roughly equivalent to one month's deliveries of the Ford F-series pickup, while the former was given the mission at its birth of killing the latter.

Today the largest Cybertruck fleet comes from Musk himself—before going public, SpaceX spent a total of $131 million at full price to buy an entire fleet of Cybertrucks for towing and hauling (as well as atmosphere creation).

To encourage Cybertruck users, Musk stated that although the model is discontinued, SpaceX's Cybertruck atmosphere team will still operate long-term, meaning there is no need to worry about maintenance and spare parts supply for existing vehicles.

Tesla discontinued the Model S and Model X last year, leaving only two models in production, the Model 3 and Model Y, plus a Roadster that can fly through the sky and burrow into the ground awaiting production scheduling. These three vehicles are Tesla's current lineup of manned models.

In addition, Universal Pictures announced that the Elon Musk documentary "Musk" will be released outside North America next year, with the specific schedule as follows: UK January 15, Germany January 21, Spain February 5, France February 17, Australia February 25.

"Musk" premiered at this year's Venice Film Festival and received widespread acclaim. In addition to exploring Musk's enormous influence, such as his personal political leanings and obsession with colonizing Mars, the documentary also touches on the protagonist's private life, especially his controversial relationships with the mothers of his 14 children. The documentary ultimately leads, through accounts from relatives, to a chilling viewpoint: the film's protagonist is in some respects not like a human being, and only by understanding this can the mysteries surrounding the protagonist be unraveled.

As always, Musk dismissed the documentary director as "worse than dog shit," saying, "Blacklist first, then make the film—no integrity at all, despicable and shameless."

However, the first person the director wanted to interview at the start of filming was Musk, but he refused.
