Tesla CEO Musk: Cybertruck production line to close in about 8 months

Tesla CEO Elon Musk said the Cybertruck production line will shut down in roughly eight months, with the company racing to build as many vehicles as possible before then and expecting to refund deposits to many reservation holders. Musk said orders are outpacing production, and that the closure reflects the opportunity cost of the truck's manufacturing complexity rather than a lack of profitability, arguing that shifting capacity toward higher-volume Cybercab output creates more value. The decision matters because it caps output of Tesla's most complex and lowest-volume passenger vehicle and signals a reallocation of manufacturing resources toward its robotaxi ambitions. What to watch next is how many Cybertrucks Tesla delivers before the line stops, how large the deposit refunds turn out to be, and how quickly Cybercab production ramps up.
