Tesla Considers Smaller Electric Truck Amid Cybertruck Sales
Tesla might make a smaller Cybertruck because the big one isn't selling as well as they hoped.
A Tesla executive said they're thinking about it.
The Cybertruck is big and expensive, and not everyone wants one.
They're hoping a smaller truck could be a better fit for people and help with future robotaxis.
It could also compete with trucks like the Ford F-150 Lightning.
No plans are set yet.
Tesla is reportedly considering a smaller electric pickup truck due to the Cybertruck's sales performance.
Lars Moravy hinted at the company's exploration of more compact alternatives for both passengers and cargo.
The Cybertruck hasn't met sales expectations, with current sales around 20,000 units annually.
Challenges include Cybertruck's design, price, and size that affect consumer preferences.
A mid-size truck could better compete with models like the Ford F-150 Lightning and Chevrolet Silverado EV.
