Elon Muskʼs company Tesla plans to start mass production of the Cybertruck at the end of 2023.
This was reported by Reuters with reference to its sources.
Last month, the company said it was working to prepare its plant in Austin, Texas, for the new model, with "early production" expected to begin in mid-2023.
"Weʼre in the final stages [of production of] the Cybertruck," Musk noted on a conference call with financial analysts.
The final cost of the Cybertruck has not yet been announced. In 2019, Tesla predicted that the starting price would be below $40 000, but since then the prices of new cars have increased and Tesla has increased the cost for the entire model range.
- On November 22, 2019, Musk presented the new Cybertruck electric pickup in Los Angeles. It can travel up to 805 km on a single charge and accelerate to 96.6 kmph in 2.9 seconds.
- Teslaʼs Cybertruck is unique because it is made of the same steel as the SpaceX Starship spacecraft. Its dimensions are 5.8 m by 1.8 m.
- Since then, the company has postponed production three times: from the end of 2021 to the end of 2022, then to the beginning of 2023, and the last time — to the middle of 2023.
