Remember when pro skaters Torey Pudwill, aka T-Puds, and Leo Romero took Elon Musk's Tesla Cybertruck for a skateboarding sesh?
The video racked up millions of views as the two put the futuristic electric pickup through its paces, leaving its exterior looking worse for wear.
Now, the controversial vehicle is heading for the end of the road.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced that the company will wind down Cybertruck production around the middle of next year.

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

First introduced as a prototype in 2019, the Cybertruck attracted attention for its angular stainless steel design.
Tesla began production in 2023, with prices ranging from approximately $80,000 to $100,000 depending on the configuration.
Musk initially expected the company to sell around 250,000 units annually.
However, actual sales fell far short of that target. According to Kelley Blue Book, Tesla sold 20,237 Cybertrucks in 2025, down 48% from 38,965 in 2024.
The pickup also faced criticism over its construction and reliability. In March 2025, Tesla recalled approximately 46,000 units because an exterior trim panel could detach while driving.
Legal troubles followed. The parents of two college students killed in a Cybertruck crash sued Tesla last year, claiming the vehicle's design made escaping after an accident extremely difficult, according to The New York Times.
Earlier this year, the sole survivor of another crash that killed three people filed a separate lawsuit raising similar concerns.

With declining sales and several legal challenges, the decision to end production was not entirely unexpected.
Tesla shares reportedly climbed around 5% following the announcement on Friday.
Musk explained that the company plans to use the production capacity for its Cybercab, a fully autonomous two seater without a steering wheel or pedals.
Production began in Austin in July, with demonstrations taking place in September.
“Cybertruck was an incredible technology development platform and lives on through Cybercab,” Wes Morrill, the Cybertruck's lead engineer, wrote in response to Musk on X.

Tesla envisions the Cybercab as a driverless rideshare vehicle that customers can book through an app. The company says it can accommodate two passengers and offers storage for luggage, golf clubs and scooters.
Its autonomous vehicle service is currently operating in several US cities, including Austin, Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston, Miami, Orlando and Tampa.
For skateboarders, the Cybertruck will also be remembered for its unexpected appearance in T-Puds and Leo Romero's skate sesh.
Their video brought the unusual pickup into skateboarding and electric cars, and who knows? Maybe the Cybercab will get its own skate session next.
