Elon Musk says Tesla will continue producing the Cybertruck through the end of summer 2027 to work through its order backlog.
Why it matters
The timeline ties production of Tesla's electric pickup to outstanding orders. For investors, the backlog is a measure of orders still to be worked through, rather than completed vehicle deliveries.
Market impact
