The Tesla Cybertruck is slowly but surely approaching. Elon Musk gave updates on the progress of production and Tesla also shared some images of the electric pickup on the assembly line.
After several weeks of seeing Cybertruck prototypes on California roads like the one with steel wheels, the electric pickup finally officially gives its news. Elon Musk spoke about it during a call with investors for the group’s financial results. The CEO of Tesla did not announce bad news as some might have feared after several years of delay.
Elon Musk has therefore confirmed that Tesla will organize an event in the third quarter of 2023. He estimated last year that the Cybertruck would be on the roads in the summer of 2023. Finally, it will be its production that will start this summer. This is the reason why many prototypes have been seen lately in California. Tesla, for example, tested the turning radius and the direction of its electric pickup.
Mass production of the Cybertruck will begin early next year
Elon Musk said: “ it takes time to get the production line going, and it really is a very radical product. It is not made the same as other cars “. His words indicate that the production of the Tesla Cybertruck is more complex than that of the manufacturer’s other vehicles such as the new Model 3, which is arriving in Europe at a low price.
In addition, Elon Musk did not want to give additional details on the characteristics of the Cybertruck, its autonomy, its functionalities, etc. He simply stated that: one thing i know for sure is that it is an amazing product “. Production of the Cybertruck will therefore begin this summer, but it will still have to wait start of 2024 for mass production of the electric pickup. Tesla’s event later this year will likely give more information on the Cybertruck release.
In announcing its first quarter 2023 financial results, Tesla also shared some photos of the production of the Cybertruck. The electric pickup can be seen on the assembly line. The automaker has also confirmed that the ” Cybertruck remains on track to begin production later this year at Gigafactory Texas ».
