Read the story

Elon Musk said on November 7 that Tesla would add a Cybertruck shift to address outstanding orders.

He described a backlog larger than current production could clear before the line's planned dismantling.

The June or July 2027 change would make room for Cybercab expansion. Increasing output temporarily is therefore compatible with ending production later.

Read and practise

1. Which conclusion matches the final paragraph?

   1. More output now necessarily cancels the exit
   2. Temporary growth can precede an end to production
   3. The factory change has already finished

2. Which constraint explains the additional shift?

   1. Current production cannot clear the backlog before the planned dismantling
   2. There are no outstanding Cybertruck orders
   3. The line can already produce every waiting order in time

Your turn

Why is adding a shift not necessarily a reversal of the planned exit?
