Tesla will keep building Cybertrucks through the end of summer 2027, Elon Musk said, to work through more of its order backlog. The new timeline replaces the June or July 2027 window he outlined days earlier, and leaves the backlog size and a final production date unstated.
Elon Musk said on Wednesday, November 11, that Cybertruck production will be extended through the end of summer 2027 so Tesla can work through more of its order backlog.
The revised timing pushes the plan beyond the June or July 2027 window Musk outlined four days earlier. At that point, he said Tesla would add another Cybertruck manufacturing shift before dismantling the line at Gigafactory Texas to make room for more Cybercab production.
However, the plan has shifted quickly. Two days ago, Musk warned that the truck's order rate was running well ahead of production and that Tesla would have to return deposits to many buyers. The longer window gives Tesla more time to build trucks, but Musk has not said that every outstanding order will be filled.
Musk's explanation for winding down the truck has centred on the factory space and manufacturing effort Tesla wants to devote to Cybercab, its purpose-built robotaxi. He previously argued that the value of building additional Cybercabs outweighed Cybertruck's manufacturing complexity, and he disputed reports that the pickup's lack of profitability drove the decision.
Several details remain open. Musk did not give an exact final production date, the size of the backlog or a target for how many extra trucks Tesla expects to build during the extension.
