Tesla will keep making its Cybertruck in Texas until the end of summer 2027, Elon Musk said, extending production after earlier saying it would stop in about eight months. He said the extra time would help clear more of the backlog of orders.
Musk announced the extension on Wednesday on X. Last week, he said Tesla planned to stop making the electric pick-up during 2027.
Tesla had planned to free up factory capacity for increased production of its recently launched Cybercab self-driving taxis. The Cybertruck was intended to compete with established pick-up makers, but sales have fallen short of expectations.
Musk also said on Monday that Tesla would refund deposits to customers who could no longer get a Cybertruck. The extension changes the production timetable, but does not alter the stated plan to make room for more Cybercab production.
