Musk: Cybertruck production extended through end of summer 2027 — five days after wind-down plan
Musk said on X that Cybertruck production will run through the end of summer 2027 to work through the order backlog — roughly two to three months beyond the mid-2027 end he flagged on Nov. 6, after fan pushback.
Per Electrek, Musk posted on X on Nov. 11 that "in order to work through more of the Cybertruck order backlog, production will be extended through the end of summer 2027." On Nov. 6 he said Giga Texas would end Cybertruck output around mid-next year to make room for Cybercab, and on Nov. 9 he said production would end in about eight months and some customers would need deposit refunds.
Electrek describes the change as a push of roughly two to three months. It also noted that pre-announcement sales ran around 30,000 a year, about 10% of the planned 250,000 volume. The cheapest orderable trim rose from $69,990 in early August to $92,490, and base dual-motor orders are paused.
Fans reacted: Chuck Cook asked Musk to reconsider, writing "Cybercab won't haul my bees," while buyers still waiting on the $59,990 trim sold in a 10-day window in February got no reply. Musk's stated reasons for ending the truck have shifted from factory space to talent shortage to complexity.
