Tesla Extends Cybertruck Production Until Late Summer 2027 After Plans to Discontinue Electric Pickup
Elon Musk explained the decision as necessary to fulfill accumulated orders, despite plans to reallocate production capacity.
Tesla will continue producing the Cybertruck electric pickup until the end of summer 2027. The company's CEO, Elon Musk, announced this on the social network X. According to him, the additional time is needed to fulfill the remaining orders for the vehicle.
The statement came five days after Musk revealed plans to halt Cybertruck production around mid-2027. The company had intended to redirect the freed-up production capacity toward manufacturing the Cybercab, a driverless taxi without a steering wheel. Among the reasons for discontinuing the pickup, the entrepreneur cited production complexity, though he maintained that the model remains profitable.
Questions about the Cybertruck's future arose amid weak sales. Following the vehicle's 2019 unveiling, Tesla reported over a million pre-orders, each costing $100. At the time, Musk expected to sell between 150,000 and 250,000 units annually.
However, over the past three years, the company has delivered approximately 76,000 Cybertrucks. According to data from Cox Automotive, cited by Business Insider, this figure includes vehicles worth $131 million sold in 2025 to another of Musk's companies, SpaceX. Previously, the entrepreneur had also stated that Tesla would have to refund some deposits to customers.
