Tesla Extends Cybertruck Production Through Summer 2027 to Clear Order Backlog

Elon Musk announced on November 11 that Tesla will extend Cybertruck production through the end of summer 2027 to work through a larger-than-expected order backlog. The backlog is described as far exceeding what Tesla can build before it needs to dismantle the Cybertruck line, with the production halt tied to a planned conversion of Tesla's Texas factory to build the Cybercab robotaxi around June or July 2027.

To meet as many outstanding orders as possible before the line comes down, Tesla will add an extra production shift. The company has also confirmed it will refund deposits for reservation holders whose orders cannot be fulfilled within the remaining production window, with roughly 1 million reservations on the books.
