Tesla just halted new Cybertruck orders for the premium all-wheel drive variant as demand has completely outstripped production.
Elon confirmed orders are running far ahead of output, forcing the company to start cancelling pending reservations and refunding deposits. This matches the exact situation covered in the latest recap where Cybertruck orders halted for the mid-tier model while the cheaper dual-motor version was already pulled months ago.
What the halt actually means
Right now only the top Foundation Series remains open, and even those deliveries are pushed into 2026 for new orders. Owners with older $59k reservations are seeing their spots deprioritized in favor of higher-trim VIN assignments. If your Cybertruck order is still pending, the safest move is to complete every form step without advancing to final purchase until a VIN appears.

Model Y L Performance not coming
Lars confirmed during the Jay Leno interview that no high-performance Model Y L variant is planned. The entire Model Y L line will focus on volume trims instead. That also explains why the Tesla acceleration boost was quietly removed from the configurator for 2027 Model Y vehicles—the new base performance already matches the old boosted times.
The Tesla Model Y upgrade removed from the options list means buyers no longer need to pay extra for quicker acceleration on the Long Range AWD. Details on the Model Y L changes are here: https://www.denniscw.com/blog/tesla-model-y-l-performance-not-coming
Bottom line for owners
Cybertruck orders halted signals the current body style is effectively sold out for the rest of the year. Anyone still waiting on a lower-trim reservation should expect either cancellation or a long wait. On the Model Y side, the built-in performance gains are a net positive for new buyers even if the standalone boost option disappeared.
