Cyberbeast / Source: Tesla.com Tesla is considering building a smaller pickup truck after the Cybertruck has officially become a complete commercial flop. When first unveiling the Cybertruck and its polarizing design, CEO Elon Musk did mention that if the controversial truck proves unsuccessful, Tesla would build a different, less polarizing one. He even suggested that Tesla already had a plan B ready to go. The Cybertruck is now officially unsuccessful. Tesla planned for a production of 250,000 units per year, and Musk said that it could ramp up to 500,000 units a year.

The vehicle program is selling at approximately 10% of the installed production capacity. Despite the failure, Tesla has not yet greenlit a replacement, but Tesla VP of vehicle engineering, Lars Moravy, recently discussed the potential of Tesla making a “smaller pickup”: “We always talked about making a smaller pickup. I think in the future, as more and more of the robotaxi comes into the world, we look at those options and we think about, OK, that kind of service is useful not just for people, but also for goods. [..] We’ve definitely been churning in the design studio about what we might do to serve that need for sure.” It’s unclear whether Moravy is explicitly referring to a smaller Cybertruck or a smaller pickup designed for cargo. One thing is clear from the executive comment: Tesla’s priority is “robotaxi”. Electrek’s Take This autonomy thing is truly ruining Tesla. They are putting everything through the lens of autonomy, even this comment about making a smaller pickup truck includes “as more of the robotaxi comes into the world”. Top comment by Spec9
