Tesla, a US electric car company, will add another shift at its factory that makes the Cybertruck. This change will help Tesla finish making Cybertruck vehicles that are already ordered. The company also plans to use the same production line in the future to build a new vehicle called the Cybercab, which is meant to be a robotaxi. A shift is a set period when workers work on assembling vehicles, usually to produce more cars during a day.

Tesla made this decision because their factory is set up to make one type of vehicle at a time. Changing the factory to build something new, like the Cybercab, takes time and special changes to machines and tools. By making an extra work shift, Tesla can keep building the Cybertruck while they get ready to switch the line for the Cybercab.

Because of this, more Cybertrucks can be made to meet customer orders. Once most Cybertrucks are finished, the factory will be ready to begin building the Cybercab. This move shows that Tesla is preparing for its future robotaxi business, but first, it needs to finish current Cybertruck orders.
