Tesla has commenced the production of its long-awaited Cybertruck electric pickup truck, following a two-year delay. The Cybertruck was initially revealed in November 2019, with an original release date set for 2021. However, after several setbacks, Tesla is now targeting a delivery event around the end of the third quarter of 2023, likely in September.

The Cybertruck’s production began at Tesla’s Giga Texas assembly line in Austin, where the first unit rolled off recently. Tesla’s CEO, Elon Musk, shared a photo of the milestone moment on Twitter, expressing excitement about the progress. The electric pickup truck has generated significant interest since its unveiling, thanks to its unique design and innovative features.

Elon Musk has previously stated that the Cybertruck’s exterior will be constructed from an ultra-strong stainless steel alloy, making it durable and robust. The glass used in the vehicle is also claimed to be shatterproof. However, it remains uncertain if certain features, such as the ability to withstand smaller firearms like 9-millimeter handguns, will be included in the production model.

During Tesla’s annual shareholders meeting in May, Musk estimated a production volume of about 250,000 units per year for the Cybertruck. He acknowledged the potential for higher output, suggesting it could range between 250,000 and 500,000 units annually.

Once it hits the market, the Tesla Cybertruck will face competition from other US-made electric light-duty trucks, such as the Rivian R1T, Ford F-150 Lightning, and Bolinga B2. Tesla aims to offer the Cybertruck in three configurations, including a top-of-the-line tri-motor version with a starting price of $69,900, boasting a range of over 500 miles.

With production now underway, Tesla enthusiasts and electric vehicle fans eagerly await the delivery event later this year. The Cybertruck’s successful launch could mark a significant step forward in the electric pickup truck market, pushing the boundaries of innovation and sustainability in the automotive industry.
