## Key points

- Cybertruck production is extended through summer 2027.
- Tesla says the extra time will help clear its backlog.
- US sales were about 20,000 last year, down from nearly 39,000.

## Summary

Elon Musk says Tesla will keep making the Cybertruck through the end of summer 2027, extending production days after he announced it would be wound down. The extension is intended to clear the vehicle’s backlog and gives Tesla more time to meet existing demand, despite Musk saying it is not the most profitable choice.

Musk had said production would end around the middle of next year to make room for more Cybercab production. Tesla’s Texas headquarters is the only site equipped to make the Cybertruck’s specialised components. US sales fell to about 20,000 last year from nearly 39,000 in 2024, well below Musk’s forecast of 250,000 annual sales; Tesla is also pursuing the Cybercab, a two-seat autonomous vehicle without a steering wheel or pedals.
