The linked article is clear as to why the S and X don’t need to be in Tesla’s product line

> Tesla’s far more popular models are the 3 and Y, which accounted for 97% of the company’s 1.59 million deliveries last year

Why are they still making the cybertruck then?

I see way more Model S and X than Cybertruck.

Probably because it’s a segment they think they can grow and is a new vehicle type, rather than redundant.

Regardless, it's probably better to have one flashy car that doesn't sell big numbers than 3. They might treat it as their high end test car or something or plan to figure out a new top tier model.

Probably the same reason Ford makes one, too.

Ford recently stopped it. https://www.npr.org/2025/12/15/nx-s1-5645147/ford-discontinu...
