Tesla CEO Elon Musk said on November 11 that Cybertruck production would be extended through the end of summer 2027, writing on X that the company would work through more of the truck's order backlog. The post came five days after Musk said the Cybertruck would be cut from the Tesla lineup around the middle of 2027 to focus more assembly capacity on the Cybercab, a robotaxi without a steering wheel.
Musk said the Cybertruck was still profitable but that the company had to end it because of manufacturing complexity. He also said Tesla would have to return deposits for a lot of people. After the truck's 2019 unveiling, Tesla said it received more than 1 million reservations at $100 each, and Musk said at the time that he expected to sell 150,000 to 250,000 units a year.
Sales fell short of that target. Tesla sold 76,000 Cybertrucks over the past three years, according to Cox Automotive data shared with Business Insider, a figure that includes $131 million of Cybertruck sales to SpaceX, another Musk company, in 2025.
