Production halt announced for model

The company plans to cease manufacturing the vehicle at its facility in Texas. This decision follows reports of subpar sales and multiple recalls associated with the truck.

Battery size comparison with rivals

The Cybertruck utilizes a massive 123 kilowatt-hour battery weighing approximately 1,600 pounds. This capacity matches the battery found in Ford's F-150 Lightning, which was also canceled late last year.

Industry shift toward smaller vehicles

Automakers are simultaneously launching smaller electric pickups and gas-powered autos with electric motors. Ford intends to release the sub-$30,000 Fathom next year as part of this trend.
