Recently, according to people familiar with the matter, Tesla (TSLA.O) expects to begin mass production of its electric pickup truck Cybertruck by the end of 2023, two years later than the original goal announced by CEO Musk in 2019.
Just last month, Tesla said it was preparing to produce new models at its Austin, Texas, factory, and that "early Cybertruck production" would begin in mid-2023. The Cybertruck will gradually reach full production in the second half of next year, which means it will not be until early 2024 to achieve a full quarter of production of the new model and record revenue.
Currently, Tesla’s Cybertruck reservations are expected to exceed 1 million, and they spent $100 to reserve the Cybertruck, which also means they have to wait another year.
About Tesla Cybertruck
Judging from the actual car pictures exposed on the spot, Cybertruck has a strong sense of the future, but the size of the mass-produced model is smaller than the prototype when it was released, and traditional exterior styling was added to the rear of the A-pillar. The rearview mirror and front windshield are equipped with huge wipers. In addition, the shape of the headlights has been adjusted, the windshield has been changed to a curved surface and the previous fully enclosed wheels have been cancelled. I believe this is also for better practicality and cost control.
As for the rear of the car, the taillight set of the mass-produced version of the Cybertruck is consistent with its overall shape and has a strong cyberpunk flavor. The overall taillight set is slim in shape and adopts the currently popular through-type taillights. When lit, it has a Good recognition.

Judging from the exposed interior pictures, the Cybertruck production version is equipped with a Yoke steering wheel, a large central control screen and an LCD instrument. Most of the styles are still the familiar Tesla style. In addition, a small window has been added below the A-pillar, but its specific function is not yet clear.
In terms of power, Musk announced that the Cybertruck will be equipped with four motors, allowing each wheel to independently control torque. As a pure electric pickup truck built by Tesla, the new car is available in three range versions of 402km, 483km and 804km. It is also equipped with an adjustable air suspension, and the acceleration time from 100 kilometers to 100 kilometers is only 2.9 seconds. Tesla has never let us down in terms of acceleration. Such data performance is enough to shake the ability of supercars.
