Follow-up: Musk Says Cybertruck Production Will Be Extended Through the End of Summer 2027 to Work Through More of the Backlog
Tesla chief executive Elon Musk said in a post on X on November 11 that production of the Cybertruck electric pickup at Gigafactory Texas will be extended through the end of summer 2027 in order to work through more of the order backlog. The date is later than the June/July 2027 line-dismantling timetable he had previously given.
"In order to work through more of the Cybertruck order backlog, production will be extended through the end of summer 2027," Musk wrote. He did not give an exact final production date after the extension, nor did he say how many additional trucks the extension would deliver or whether the deposit refund arrangements he mentioned earlier would change as a result; Tesla has issued no formal announcement, and the plan was announced in Musk's post on X.
The post is the fourth step in the line's wind-down timetable. On November 6, Musk posted that Tesla would wind down Cybertruck production at Gigafactory Texas around the middle of 2027 to make room for increased Cybercab production; on November 7, he said the order backlog far exceeded what could be built before the line is dismantled around June/July next year and that Tesla would add an extra shift; on November 8, he said Tesla would build as many as possible before shutting down the line in about eight months but would still have to return deposits to a lot of people. The new post states for the first time that production will run through the end of summer 2027, later than the earlier June/July dismantling timetable.
As of publication, Tesla had provided no further details on the post-extension dismantling date or on the deposit refunds. (Source: Elon Musk)
