The Cybertruck gets a few more months. Elon Musk wrote on Wednesday 11 November 2026, at 5:11 pm UTC, that Tesla will keep building its pickup until the end of summer 2027, to fill more of the orders still waiting. Five days earlier, he had announced that production would wind down around the middle of the year.
What Elon Musk wrote
“In order to work through more of the Cybertruck order backlog, production will be extended through the end of summer 2027.” The post passed 280,000 views within minutes.
This is good news for people who have paid a deposit. On 9 November, Musk warned that the line would shut down “in about 8 months”, so around July, and that Tesla would “have to return deposits for a lot of people”. With production now running to the end of summer, the line would keep going for about two more months.
A week of changes
- 6 November: Musk announces that Tesla will wind down Cybertruck production at Giga Texas around mid-2027, to make room for more Cybercab production.
- 7 November: he says the order backlog is larger than what Tesla can build before June or July, and that a production shift will be added.
- 9 November: he warns that deposits will be returned.
- 10 November: only the Cyberbeast is left to order in the United States, at $109,990.
- 11 November: production is extended to the end of summer 2027.
What was not said
Musk gives no exact end date and no number of extra Cybertrucks these months will produce. He does not say whether every waiting customer will get a truck, or whether deposits will still be returned. Nor does he say whether the Cybercab ramp at Giga Texas is pushed back. Tesla has not issued a statement.
What about Europe?
Tesla has never offered the Cybertruck in Europe. This extension concerns customers in North America and the other markets where Tesla sells it. Our coverage of the 6, 9 and 10 November announcements is available in French: the end of production, the returned deposits and the Cyberbeast-only lineup.
