what happened
Tesla plans to add an additional work shift at its Cybertruck plant to clear remaining customer orders, according to Chief Executive Elon Musk, who spoke on Saturday. He wrote on X that the Cybertruck backlog far exceeds what the company can build before the assembly line is shut down around June or July of next year, when it is due to be reconfigured for Cybercab output. Reuters reported the details.
why it matters
A backlog larger than the factory can clear before the changeover suggests Cybertruck orders still outpace output for now. The report gives no figures on volumes, pricing or revenue, so the financial effect of the plan remains unclear for investors.
