They're extending the line because orders are still coming in."},{"host":"Matilda","text":"Or because the backlog is smaller than they hoped and they're stretching it out."},{"host":"Chris","text":"No, no— he said an extra shift to clear orders. That's demand, not desperation."},{"host":"Matilda","text":"The notes say the line winds down around mid-2027, then shuts down a few months later. So this looks like the final run."},{"host":"Chris","text":"Fine, it's the last call for the Cybertruck.
