Elon Musk says Tesla will extend Cybertruck production through end of summer
Tesla CEO Elon Musk now says the Cybertruck will be produced through the end of summer 2027 to work through an "order backlog."
Tesla's Cybertruck production will extend a few extra months, according to Elon Musk's announcement on X. The electric truck, which initially faced a predicted end around mid-2027, now has a new lease on life thanks to an order backlog. Musk's posting on the social media platform came five days after he initially shared that the Cybertruck's production would cease around the middle of 2027 to prioritize the assembly of its steering wheel-less robotaxi, the Cybercab.
The Cybertruck, initially featured in 2019, received over a million reservations, costing $100 each, but the company failed to meet sales expectations. While Tesla sold only 76,000 Cybertrucks over the past three years, including $131 million worth to SpaceX, Musk now confirms that production will continue through the end of summer 2027 as the company works through the Cybertruck order backlog.
