Tesla confirms new Cybertruck prototypes and provides an update on its timeline

Tesla has provided an update on the Cybertruck, confirming the existence of additional prototypes and expressing optimism about the schedule for manufacturing.

Tesla's most anticipated product, the Cybertruck, has disappointed purchasers when the firm delayed production until "late 2022."Tesla was asked to provide an update on the electric pickup truck at its Q3 2021 earnings call.

"Moravy is talking to the latest Cybertruck prototype that was sighted earlier this week in California.

"Tesla has shifted away from claiming that the electric pickup truck would arrive "late" next year, instead referring to the truck arriving after Model Y at Gigafactory Texas.

In a statement to shareholders yesterday, the manufacturer stated:"We are making progress on the industrialization of Cybertruck, which is currently planned for Austin production subsequent to Model Y."Tesla intends to begin Model Y manufacturing at Gigafactory Texas by the end of the year.

Elon Musk, who was not on the call yesterday, has previously stated that Tesla would delay moving to Cybertruck production until the new facility is able to crank up Model Y production.

“And while those point out a few key additions, like rear steering, there are also a number of smaller or less visible improvements though the product is largely true to the initial vision. We’ll continue to work through the product in the beta stages that we’re in now and look to launch that by next year.”

It's worth noting that Moravy stated that the vehicle would be available "next year."
