A Daily Kos news article by Walter Einenkel reports that Elon Musk announced on Friday, 6 November 2026, that Tesla will wind down Cybertruck production around mid-2027 to make room for Cybercab; the truck was plagued by recalls and its windows famously broke at the 2019 launch, and Einenkel estimates it cost Tesla about $1.9 billion on $2 billion in research and development after selling only 70,000 units. Einenkel calls the truck one of the biggest automotive flops in recent memory and a humiliated Musk a con man and hype man whose political meddling has dragged down the Tesla brand.
