Tesla to add Cybertruck shift to clear orders before dismantling line next year
Tesla will add an extra shift and keep building the pickup to clear more orders before converting the line to Cybercab production, Musk said.
- On Wednesday, CEO Elon Musk announced that Tesla will extend Cybertruck production through the end of summer 2027 to clear a significant order backlog.
- Tesla previously intended to wind down Cybertruck assembly at Giga Texas by mid-2027, as the pickup struggled with sales, moving only 76,000 units over the past three years.
- Eliminating all but the $109,990 Cyberbeast, Tesla simplified production; Musk noted the extension is not the "smartest move from a profit-maximizing standpoint," yet "there must be some room in this world for sentimentality."
- Frustrated fans like FSD tester Chuck Cook asked Musk to "change your mind," while supporters requested a clear vehicle roadmap beyond summer 2027.
- Tesla remains behind Waymo in autonomy metrics, prompting doubts about the long-term vehicle strategy as critics warn the company prioritizes a bet on autonomy over its original "sustainable" energy mission.
