Update
What changedRoot-Nation reports that Elon Musk said Tesla’s planned Cybertruck refunds are not because the vehicle is unprofitable. He attributed the decision to the opportunity cost of keeping a complex production line running while Tesla tries to increase Cybercab output.
Musk said Tesla would build as much as it could before shutting the line in about eight months, but did not specify how many buyers would receive refunds or the total amount involved, according to Root-Nation. That leaves affected customers without a figure or individual timetable in the reported statement.
The explanation adds a distinction to Tesla’s production shift: Musk is presenting it as a choice about where to put factory space and effort, rather than a verdict on the Cybertruck’s profitability.
