· Automobile · TechCrunch, New York Times
Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced that the company will stop manufacturing the Cybertruck next year. Despite initial high demand with over 1 million reservations reported in 2023, sales have reached approximately 71,000 units since deliveries began in November 2023. The vehicle failed to meet original promises of a 500-mile range and a price tag under $40,000. Meanwhile, the autonomous drone delivery startup Zipline has raised $1.5 billion to expand its operations, including a partnership with Walmart for 300 new delivery sites across the United States.
