Musk on Cybertruck production halt: order backlog far exceeds capacity, line to make way for Cybercab

Musk said on X that Cybertruck orders are growing far faster than production capacity, but the dedicated production line will stop in about 8 months, deposits will be refunded for orders that cannot be delivered, and he clarified that the main reason for the halt is not unprofitability but opportunity cost. The line at the Texas Gigafactory is planned to be dismantled around mid-2027, with capacity shifting to Cybercab; the 48V low-voltage architecture, steer-by-wire, and Etherloop wiring validated by Cybertruck have already been migrated to Cybercab.
