Even the smartest people make mistakes, and I genuinely believe Elon is making a BIG mistake by canceling the Cybertruck!
I’ve NEVER seen a community come together this strongly to keep a vehicle in production. That alone should tell Tesla how much this truck means to us!
@elonmusk, you can still achieve your vision of full autonomy with Cybercab while giving your most loyal supporters what they want too. KEEP THE CYBERTRUCK!
You get the future you envision, we get to keep the truck we love, and EVERYBODY WINS! 🫶

I gotta be honest the way Tesla is handling the whole CyberTruck situation right now isn’t ideal.
- They announce it’s being “wound down” in order to make room on the floor for the Cybercab. A vehicle which currently is being produced faster than they can make use for (I know that’ll hopefully change)
- This is on the heels of discontinuing The X and S, which is concerning since people do still want to own and drive Teslas, and having only a 3 and Y available in the lineup leaves a lot of desire for another vehicle.
- Elon says they can’t keep up with demand (?) and they’ll have to refund customers on their orders
- days later the price goes up again and now your only way to get a CyberTruck is to buy the most expensive trim possible. So what happened to not being able to fulfill orders? Do they prioritize CyberBeast over the lower trims?
Overall this is just so strange, but curious to hear what you all think.

I have a brain. Not everyone wants to ride around in a taxi. Your taxi doesn’t even fit a family. Everyone was fine with adding @robotaxi as an addition to the personal fleet but removing personal vehicles is infuriating a lot of @Tesla owners who got you to where you are by purchasing your vehicles

Pretty upset with Tesla! How could you cancel the Model S, X and the Cybertruck less than 6 months with NO announced replacements whatsoever.
It’s sad that Cybercab is such a high priority given that we live in a world where people WANT to own their vehicles. There are no true premium options for people who want a Tesla… SAD!

It’s been more than 20 years since Boeing or Airbus has launched a new commercial airliner. Chinese dominance of commercial aviation is inevitable unless the west builds a new airframer that actually innovates.
My goal is to make Boom that air framer.
.@emirates President Tim Clark says its only a matter of time before China upends commercial aviation:
“They’ve slaughtered the auto market with EVs, they’ve upended so many industries, why would aviation be any different for them?”

For the first time since I got my first Tesla, I’m considering not getting a Tesla as my next vehicle.
I still want a Model 3 Performance but I don’t know if I trust Tesla in the long term to support customer owned vehicles… This whole situation just feels like a middle finger to their loyal customers.
The Cybertruck order rate far exceeds our production rate. We will try to make as many as possible before shutting down the line in about 8 months, but will have to return deposits for a lot of people.
This is not a case of Cybertruck being unprofitable, as has been misreported by legacy media, but rather that the opportunity cost of the complexity of Cybertruck is vastly outweighed by the value of incremental Cybercab production.

Elon, sometimes you have to listen to your most loyal fans too!
I can’t tell you how to run your companies. You’re the richest man in the world for a reason. But Tesla has built an incredibly passionate Cybertruck community, and there’s a whole younger generation growing up DREAMING of owning one someday!
By the time those kids grow up, unsupervised FSD could be everywhere. If Tesla is going all in on Cybercab, why not eventually offer a Cybertruck without a steering wheel too? It already has steer-by-wire! Imagine Cybercabs AND Cybertrucks driving around fully autonomous.
You can embrace the future of autonomy without giving up on one of the most revolutionary vehicles you’ve ever built.
Just KEEP THE CYBERTRUCK AROUND, man! We genuinely love this truck! ❤️ @elonmusk

Come on @elonmusk!
You are starting up a night shift to meet this demand before the Cybertruck line ends.
The people have spoken man!
We love the triangle. Please consider keeping this legendary vehicle around.

How many signatures would it take to get Elon to change his mind? @grok

The Cybertruck is only two years old. It isn’t time to take it from us. It’s the best selling electric truck. Build more space for Cybercab, keep Cybertruck alive.
The next generation of people will be shocked by 2 aspects of today:
- people coding manually
- people driving manually

January 28: Elon said the Cybertruck line would go fully autonomous.
This week: it’s being wound down for Cybercab.
What changed? The Cybertruck line is Tesla’s most autonomy-ready platform. My full analysis below. Tell me my blind spots.

It’s hard not to feel like @elonmusk has gone all “mad king” on us what with killing off 3 vehicles this year. He can rationalize killing the most advanced vehicle ever made (Cybertruck) all he wants but the reality is there is no dire need for Tesla to do this right now. Tesla is not on the verge of collapse. This is an unwise, premature and untimely death that will further disenfranchise the most loyal customers. I hope that the Elon who envisioned the Roadster and the Cybertruck is still in there somewhere and comes to his senses and reverses this rash decision. 🙏🇺🇸😳

There are a handful of great engineers still stuck at GE, Pratt, etc who yearn to move fast and reinvent how engines are made.
Proud to be offering them refuge at Boom—and the opportunity to do the best work of their careers. One more accepted just this morning!
