Musk says Tesla will build the Cybertruck through the end of summer 2027
Elon Musk pushed the Cybertruck's end date back again on 11 November, saying production will run through the end of summer 2027 to work through more of the order backlog.

Tesla will keep the Cybertruck line running longer than planned. Chief executive Elon Musk wrote on X on 11 November that production will be extended "through the end of summer 2027" so the company can work through more of its Cybertruck order backlog. CBS News and Electrek both reported the new date.
The third end date in a week
The timeline has moved several times since Tesla first said the pickup would be phased out. Electrek's account lists the steps: on 6 November Musk said output at Giga Texas would wind down around the middle of 2027 to make room for the Cybercab, and on 9 November he wrote that the line would close in about eight months and that many deposits would have to be refunded. EV News Desk covered both of those statements in our 6 November report on the wind-down and our 8 November story on the extra shift for the backlog.
Electrek estimates that the latest change adds roughly two to three months of production compared with the mid-2027 plan. According to CBS News, Musk acknowledged in the same post that keeping the line open longer is not the most profitable choice, and framed the decision partly as a matter of sentiment.
Prices and the order queue
Electrek reported that Tesla has raised Cybertruck prices by up to 10% and paused orders for the base Dual Motor version, so the cheapest Cybertruck that can currently be ordered costs $92,490. The outlet also said some reservation holders replying to Musk were still waiting on the $59,990 version Tesla offered for a short period in February.
CBS News pointed to social media posts from customers who have trucks on order and are unsure whether they will be built before the line stops. Tesla has not published how many Cybertruck orders are outstanding, and neither report gives a figure for the size of the backlog.
What has not changed
The extension does not reverse the decision to end the programme. Musk's post describes a later stop date, not a continued product line, and Electrek noted that Tesla has not announced a new consumer vehicle to follow the Cybertruck. A separate public offer from tuner Unplugged Performance to take over Cybertruck production, which we reported on 11 November, has not led to any announced agreement.
