Tesla to Extend Cybertruck Production Until Late Summer 2027
Additional demand emerged following the announcement of production completion
Tesla is extending the production of its pickup truck by approximately two to three months beyond the previously announced deadline. The company had planned to free up capacity at its Texas factory for the Cybercab. Among other explanations for the decision, Elon Musk cited the complexity of the Cybertruck and a shortage of specialists.
Before the announcement of production winding down, Tesla was selling around 30,000 Cybertrucks per year, compared to a planned output of 250,000 vehicles. After the news of production ending, additional demand emerged from customers eager to purchase the vehicle in time. On the same day, Tesla suspended orders for the base Dual Motor version and raised Cybertruck prices by up to 10%. The minimum price for the available version now stands at $92,490.
Tesla enthusiasts have begun publicly questioning the company about the future of its model lineup. With the discontinuation of the Model S and Model X and the planned end of Cybertruck production, Tesla will be left with only the Model 3 and Model Y. The company has yet to introduce a new consumer model.
The production extension does not alter Tesla’s stated focus on autonomous technologies and robotaxis. The exact number of remaining orders and the release date of the final Cybertruck have not been disclosed.
