Tesla will halt manufacturing of its angular pickup at the Texas Gigafactory to shift plant capacity toward autonomous robotaxis. Elon Musk announced the change on X, with The Verge noting the shutdown is slated for next year while TechCrunch specifies a 2027 timeline. Commentary across the coverage varies: The Guardian and Ars Technica characterize the vehicle's run as a failure, while CNBC points to a polarizing design, voluntary recalls, and a failure to reach mass-market sales alongside its niche following.
