After several years of delays, the Cybertruck has finally begun to be assembled. Tesla has posted a photo of a Cybertruck that recently rolled off the assembly line in Austin.
As Electrek points out, the car pictured is most likely a production model that Tesla developed to determine the most efficient way to mass-produce a new car. The fact that a photo of the finished Cybertruck has been published shows that the company is sticking to the latest schedule that Elon Musk set for the long-awaited pickup truck.
At the beginning of the year, Musk predicted that mass production of the Cybertruck would begin in 2024, adding that limited production would likely start in the summer. He recently told investors that Tesla will host a Cybertruck delivery event in the third quarter of 2023.
It takes time to start a production line and this is a very radical product indeed. It is not made the way other cars are made.
Confirmation of these words is the stainless steel body of the Cybertruck, the production of which includes sophisticated techniques not normally used in the production of other vehicles. In addition, Tesla has run into problems with its new generation of batteries.
The original (and very optimistic) release date for the Cybertruck was set for 2021. Tesla said at the time that the price of the car would start at $39,900 for a single-motor model, while a triple-motor model would cost $70,000. The automaker has since said that the final price has yet to be determined and that the cost of the Cybertruck could depend on a variety of factors, including shortages in the supply chain and the state of the economy.
