The Guardian reports that Elon Musk has announced Tesla will wind down Cybertruck production at its Texas factory around the middle of next year to make room for the Cybercab self-driving taxi and the Optimus robot, a move the paper calls the end of a failed effort to crack the US pickup market. It caps a tricky week for Musk, whose midterm-backed Republicans lost, whose fortune's paper value fell $113bn, and whose Tesla shares dropped 11%, despite his 2023 admission that "we dug our own grave with Cybertruck".
