Tesla to add production shift to meet Cybertruck backlog before its phase-out

What happened

Tesla CEO Elon Musk said the company will add an extra production shift for its Cybertrucks to meet order backlogs before it stops manufacturing them. The Cybertruck is being phased out after years of sales far below expectations as the company pivots toward robotics and AI. The added shift is a planned measure, and the phase-out is in progress rather than completed.
