What is the scarcest resource inside Tesla right now? Most people would guess battery cells. Elon Musk gave a different answer last night. "The biggest thing most people fail to understand is that there are a very limited number of smart, dedicated people! They can only do so many things." He wrote it while explaining why the Cybertruck line at Giga Texas will be taken apart around June or July next year to make room for Cybercab. The Cybertruck is going out with a waiting list. "The Tesla Cybertruck order backlog is currently far more than we can make before dismantling the line for Cybercab expansion around June/July next year. We will add an extra shift to try to get all orders done in time." Companies usually retire a product when the orders dry up. Tesla is retiring one with a backlog, and adding a shift so the people who already ordered get their truck. Investor Warren Redlich put the logic into one tweet. His rough numbers: a big CyberSUV with around 120 kWh of batteries earns maybe $20K of gross profit when you sell it. A Cybercab with around 48 kWh, working in a robotaxi fleet, earns something like $400K. Then he asked the real question. In a battery constrained world, how many big trucks should Tesla build? Elon Musk replied with an even smaller number. Efficiency improvements are coming that will allow a 40 kWh Cybercab pack. At those sizes, the cells for one big truck could go into three Cybercabs. And a Cybercab does not sit in a driveway 23 hours a day. It has one row of two seats and no steering wheel or pedals at all, because it was designed from day one to keep moving people around a city. SpaceX made a call like this once. Falcon 1 reached orbit on September 28, 2008, flew one more mission in July 2009, and then Elon Musk retired it. The rocket worked. The team was needed for Falcon 9. Every booster landing you have watched since grew out of that decision. Cybertruck owners are some of the most loyal people in the Tesla community. "There will never be another vehicle like it," Elon Musk wrote. The engineers who keep that line and its supply chain alive are the same people needed to scale the vehicle he says "will PROFOUNDLY transform the world of terrestrial transport!" He even made time to pick the paint. Same post as the 40 kWh pack: "We will make this in liquid silver, so the colors are not too monotonous." Cybertruck buyers get their extra shift. Cybercab gets the line around mid-2027.
