Musk: Cybertruck orders outpace production; line to shut in ~8 months for Cybercab
elonmusk · x · 2026-11-09
Elon Musk says Cybertruck order rates far exceed production capacity; the line will run roughly 8 more months before shutting down, and some deposits will have to be refunded.
He pushes back on media reports framing this as Cybertruck being unprofitable, arguing instead that the opportunity cost of Cybertruck's manufacturing complexity is outweighed by the value of incremental Cybercab production. The quoted post adds that cars are becoming robots and their forms and functions are changing irreversibly.
