Earlier this year, Musk predicted that volume production of the Cybertruck would commence in 2024, with limited production starting sometime during the summer. More recently, he informed investors that Tesla plans to hold a Cybertruck delivery event in the third quarter of 2023. Musk acknowledged the challenges involved in manufacturing the Cybertruck due to its unique design and the utilization of unconventional production techniques, particularly with its stainless steel frame. Tesla has also encountered obstacles related to its next-generation 4680 battery.
Initially, Tesla aimed to release the Cybertruck in 2021 with a starting price of $39,900 for the single-motor variant and $70,000 for the three-motor model. However, the automaker has since indicated that final pricing has yet to be determined, citing factors such as supply chain constraints and the state of the economy.
With this recent update, it appears that Tesla is making significant progress in bringing the Cybertruck to market. The anticipation surrounding this revolutionary electric pickup truck continues to grow, and consumers eagerly await further details regarding its availability and pricing.
