“In order to work through more of the Cybertruck order backlog, production will be extended through the end of summer 2027,” Musk wrote on X, Electric vehicles reported.

He did not give a date, say how many more trucks the longer run would add or whether Tesla still plans the extra shift he announced on Saturday. He also did not say whether fewer buyers would now have their deposits returned.
It is the fourth time in six days that Musk has set out a timeline for the end of the truck.
Musk first announced the end of the pickup on Friday, November 6. “Tesla will be winding down production of the Cybertruck at Gigafactory Texas around the middle of next year to make room for increased Cybercab production,” he wrote.
A day later, he said the order backlog was “far more than we can make before dismantling the line for Cybercab expansion around June/July next year” and that Tesla would add an extra shift “to try to get all orders done in time.” In a separate reply, he wrote that Tesla was “still building Cybertruck for another 8 or 9 months.”
