Musk Extends Cybertruck Production Through Summer 2027

Elon Musk has extended Cybertruck production through the end of summer 2027, moving beyond the earlier plan to stop production around the middle of next year to free up capacity for the Cybercab. Last week, Musk confirmed the earlier timeline, and Cybertruck lead engineer Wes Morrill suggested the vehicle was being discontinued. Musk now says the extension is not the most profitable move but argues there must be room for sentimentality. The Cybertruck launched in 2023 after being introduced in 2019, when Musk shattered its supposedly unbreakable glass during a live demo. Sales have been poor, and the truck has faced online ridicule since its debut. Tesla's focus remains on the Cybercab, a two-seater robotaxi that Musk says will play a crucial role in the company's autonomous driving plans. Production of the Cybercab began earlier this year, and Tesla has listed an installed capacity of more than 125,000 units.
