Tesla Extends Cybertruck Production to End of Summer 2027

Tesla Extends Cybertruck Production to End of Summer 2027

Tesla will keep producing the Cybertruck longer than previously planned, extending the build window ahead of the model’s discontinuation after backlash on X and strong demand.

Elon Musk says manufacturing will continue through the end of summer 2027 to work through additional outstanding orders. The move accompanies an extra production shift, multiple price increases, and the removal of two trims, leaving only the higher-priced Cyberbeast available for new orders.

More Time to Build Cybertrucks

Tesla had earlier aimed to wind down the Cybertruck line around June or July 2027. Pushing the target to the end of summer gives the factory more time to build trucks for customers who have already placed orders. The company also announced plans to add an extra Cybertruck production shift to help address the backlog. Musk later said this decision was not focused on maximizing profits, but driven in part by sentimental reasons.

Earlier this week, Musk warned that Tesla would refund many Cybertruck deposits because orders were outpacing production. However, the latest update does not guarantee that every order will be fulfilled or clarify which buyers may still receive refunds.

Prices Rise as Orders Close

On November 6, Tesla paused Dual Motor AWD orders and raised prices. The Premium AWD increased from $84,990 to $92,490, while the Cyberbeast went from $99,990 to $102,490.

By November 10, Tesla had closed Premium AWD ordering and raised the Cyberbeast again, to $109,990. That left the Cyberbeast as the only trim available for new orders, with a $10,000 increase in less than a week.

Cybercab Still Drives the Decision

Tesla's original shutdown announcement outlined plans to use the Cybertruck's Giga Texas factory space for additional Cybercab production. Musk later said the Cybertruck remains profitable, explaining that its manufacturing complexity ties up engineering resources and space Tesla wants for the robotaxi.

The changes also follow Tesla's October cancellation of Cybertruck reservations in Australia and New Zealand, where affected buyers were offered full refunds.
