CEO Elon Musk announced that Tesla will return deposits to a significant number of customers because the company cannot fulfill the high volume of orders before the vehicle is discontinued next year.

Cybertruck reservation holders will be receiving deposit refunds from Tesla, according to CEO Elon Musk. Musk stated in a post on X that Tesla cannot build every outstanding order before its production line closes in about eight months. Tesla Inc. will refund Cybertruck deposits for some customers because it has more orders than it can process before ending production of the divisive pickup next year, according to Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk.

Musk said Monday that the Cybertruck order rate "far exceeds" Tesla's production pace. Elon Musk defended the company's decision to stop making the Cybertruck, which will go out of production in around 8 months.
