Big Update: Tesla Cybertruck 2022 Production Estimate Has Been Removed From the Company Website
Tesla frequently makes significant updates to its website without publicly announcing them.

According to a recent revelation by Teslarati, Tesla appears to have removed the 2022 production estimate for the forthcoming Cybertruck from its official website. Many people may quickly conclude that this indicates the electric pickup truck would be delayed longer. Others, on the other hand, will contend that Elon Musk is sandbagging.
With Tesla, and more specifically, Musk, you never know what is happening or what will happen. The corporation does not have a public relations department, and Musk provides the majority of information via his active Twitter presence.
Tesla does occasionally make significant announcements, mainly via Musk's Twitter feed. On the other hand, if a business needs to make minor modifications, it simply updates its website. Often, no hint of change exists until online sleuths uncover and report on it. These updates can include price and configuration modifications, as well as production and delivery upgrades.

Having said that, Tesla has already altered the Cybertruck order page. Tesla's website indicated just a few weeks ago that Cybertruck reservation holders will be able to complete their configurations as "production nears in 2022." It now just states "as production nears completion." It could be as easy as the fact that 2021 has passed and 2022 has arrived, obviating the necessity for 2022 to be included in the sentence, but who knows.
This comes after the order specifications and pricing were removed from the order page a few months ago, details concerning the deletion of a single-motor variant leaked, and Musk stated that he will disclose additional information during the next Tesla Q4 2021 Earnings Call.
Additionally, we received a report this week that Musk will make a significant announcement regarding the planned Gigafactory in Austin, Texas. For those who are unaware, the factory is scheduled to open in the near future. It will begin with the Model Y and progress to the Cybertruck. Meanwhile, Tesla has updated the Cybertruck prototype, which has recently been spotted out testing.
We have no idea why Tesla deleted the date from the order page, and we will also refrain from making any predictions about future Cybertruck manufacturing and delivery. However, as with the most of Tesla-related news, this might end up being either beneficial or negative.

It would be unsurprising if Tesla continued to delay the release of its electric pickup truck. Simultaneously, Musk might very well be sandbagging. Keep in mind that Tesla's Model Y electric crossover debuted ahead of schedule.
Tesla continues to disprove sceptics and beat Wall Street expectations. With the imminent inauguration of two new facilities and Tesla's record quarter, the business could just as easily be speeding up its future plans. It all boils down to whether or not the pieces fall into place to enable Cybertruck production to begin sooner than Tesla had planned.
Do you believe the current condition of the Tesla Cybertruck order website indicates additional delays? Is there a possibility that Musk has a big surprise in store for fans and that the electric pickup truck will enter manufacturing much sooner now? Begin a discussion in the section below.
