Tesla will add an extra production shift at its Texas factory in an effort to complete outstanding Cybertruck orders before the automaker dismantles the pickup’s assembly line around June or July 2027, CEO Elon Musk announced Saturday.

Musk said the number of outstanding orders exceeds what Tesla can produce before the planned shutdown, prompting the company to increase manufacturing hours. “We will add an extra shift to try to get all orders done in time,” he wrote in a post on X. He did not disclose how many orders remain outstanding or how much additional production the shift will generate.

The production changes follow Musk’s announcement Friday that Tesla will wind down Cybertruck manufacturing at its Gigafactory Texas facility around the middle of next year. The company plans to use the available factory capacity to increase production of the Cybercab, a two-seat autonomous vehicle central to Tesla’s robotaxi plans.

The Cybertruck began reaching customers in late 2023 but has fallen short of Musk’s initial sales expectations. Kelley Blue Book estimates show U.S. sales dropped to approximately 20,000 vehicles in 2025, down from nearly 39,000 in 2024. Musk had previously projected annual sales of 250,000 trucks.

The pickup has also faced multiple recalls and quality concerns since its launch. Tesla has not said whether Cybertruck production will end entirely after the Texas line is dismantled or potentially move to another facility
