Tesla CEO Elon Musk said Wednesday on X that Cybertruck production would be extended until late summer 2027 to help clear more backlogged orders. According to Sina Finance, five days earlier Musk had said Tesla planned to remove the model from its lineup around mid-2027 to devote more assembly capacity to Cybercab, a steering-wheel-free autonomous taxi. Musk said the Cybertruck remained profitable but its manufacturing process was too complex, requiring Tesla to discontinue production; he had also said Tesla would have to refund deposits to many reservation holders. Tesla said it had received more than 1 million reservations since the Cybertruck debuted in 2019, each with a $100 deposit. Musk had forecast annual sales of 150,000 to 250,000 vehicles. Cox Automotive data showed Tesla sold only 76,000 Cybertrucks over the past three years, including $131 million worth sold to Musk’s other company, SpaceX, in 2025.
