Musk, whose company produces electric vehicles, unveiled the “Cybertruck” during a major event held in December 2023 at the company’s headquarters in Austin, Texas.
On Friday, he justified the halt in production by citing the rise of the “Cybercab,” which was specifically designed to operate as a self-driving taxi. The Cybercab was launched on the streets of Austin in September and has recently become available in Dallas as well.
However, on its first day of launch, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened an investigation to determine whether the vehicle complies with federal standards.
