Tesla Cybertruck production ends around the middle of 2027. Elon Musk said so himself on Friday, in a post on X that gave the stainless-steel pickup about eight more months on the line. The truck will have spent just three and a half years on sale by the time the factory moves on. “Tesla will be winding down production of the Cybertruck at Gigafactory Texas around the middle of next year to make room for increased Cybercab production,” Musk wrote, according to Reuters and The Verge. No exact stop date. No new home for the truck. Just a sentence, and the end of one of the strangest vehicles ever sold in America. ...

Meta’s earnings beat didn’t matter. Shares of Meta Platforms dropped about 3% in premarket trading Thursday, October 22, 2026, as investors weighed a triple hit: a stunning $25 billion penalty ordered by a New Mexico judge, a plan to issue non-voting shares, and a capital spending forecast of $135–145 billion to fund the company’s AI buildout. Meta was the first of the AI hyperscalers to report this quarter, and Wall Street didn’t like what it saw in the fine print. ...

Walk through Tesla’s European websites this weekend and you won’t find “Full Self-Driving” anymore. In Germany, France, the Netherlands, Spain, and at least six other countries, the driver-assistance software Elon Musk has sold for years now answers to a blander name: “Tesla Assisted Driving.” The US store still lists “Full Self-Driving (Supervised).” Same software, different label — and the gap between those two pages says a lot about who Tesla is trying to please. ...

Elon Musk just put the world’s biggest chipmaker in play for his biggest hardware bet. On Saturday, Oct. 3, Musk confirmed on X that TSMC and his Terafab semiconductor project are in discussions about a chipmaking collaboration. “Just discussions, but something may come of it,” he wrote. Short post, enormous stakes: a Terafab–TSMC deal would put the world’s most advanced chip manufacturing expertise behind the Tesla and SpaceX chief’s $16.8 billion Texas megafab. ...

Tesla officially launched high-volume production of its Semi electric truck at its dedicated factory in Sparks, Nevada, on September 24, 2026, and began handing keys to customers including PepsiCo, DHL and US Foods.
