Tesla Cybertruck launch delayed: Mass production now scheduled for 2024
The highly anticipated pickup truck in US market sees another delay.
Tesla announced its financial earnings for the last quarter of 2022. Elon Musk said that Tesla's long-awaited Cybertruck model will not take favor of full-volume production until 2024 at the earnings announcement. In November 2019, Tesla unveiled the futuristic Cybertruck and opened bookings for the pickup truck, as many of you may recall. However, it has been subject to many delays and reportedly we might wait more to see Cybertruck.
Cybertruck line sees another delay
Over 1.5 million potential customers have reserved Cybertruck to date, but not one of them has been eligible to drive them. During the announcement, Musk was asked if the upcoming car would meet a manufacturing target set for the middle of 2023 in Q2 of last year.
Musk reluctantly acknowledged that production of the Cybertruck would begin "sometime this summer," but he concluded that the truck would not be produced in large quantities until the following year. Musk continued, "I always try to minimize the beginning of manufacturing." It grows exponentially, but at first very slowly.
According to these statements, mass production of the electric pick-up car will begin in 2024. However, the exact date for mass production was not given.
This is the most recent delay in a string of others. In the beginning of 2021, pre-production was supposed to begin, but the COVID-19 pandemic changed this. Then, a year ago, it was anticipated to occur sometime in 2023.
