Tesla will have to refund deposits to many Cybertruck customers because orders exceed what it can build before closing the production line, Elon Musk said Monday. He said Tesla would try to produce as many trucks as possible before shutting the line in about 8 months.

The statement adds a customer refund consequence to Friday's announcement that Tesla would wind down Cybertruck production at its Texas factory around the middle of 2027, freeing space for more Cybercabs. Musk says the production tradeoff favors the robotaxi rather than reflecting an unprofitable truck. He did not specify how many customers would receive refunds or the amount involved.
