Tesla chief Elon Musk said an additional production shift was planned to work through outstanding Cybertruck orders. He said the backlog exceeded what the company could build before dismantling the line around June–July 2027 for Cybercab expansion. The plan follows an earlier decision to redirect capacity at the Texas factory toward the two-seat robotaxi.
Tesla chief executive Elon Musk said on 7 November that the company planned another Cybertruck production shift to complete outstanding orders. According to Musk, the backlog exceeds what Tesla can build under its existing arrangements before the line is dismantled. The extra shift is intended to work through those orders ahead of the planned conversion of factory space to Cybercab production.[1], [2]
Musk put the dismantling of the Cybertruck line around June–July 2027. Tesla plans to use the space at its Texas factory to expand production of Cybercab, a two-seat robotaxi. Musk has made that vehicle central to his ambition to turn Tesla into an artificial-intelligence and robotics company. The latest statement concerns completing pickup orders before the factory’s planned change in production capacity.[1]
Cybertruck deliveries began in late 2023. United States sales were approximately 20,000 vehicles in 2025, down from nearly 39,000 in 2024, according to the Kelley Blue Book comparison cited in the coverage. The pickup has faced repeated recalls and quality concerns since launch. Its unconventional design has also limited opportunities in overseas markets, including Europe.[1]
