It is official; Tesla’s Cybertruck, the futuristic electric pickup truck, will not be hitting the roads until 2024. Despite the long wait, fans of the company’s products are still excited by the proposal.
Tesla Cybertruck was first revealed in a November 2019 event in Los Angeles. It was met with mixed reactions from the public, with some people being taken back by the truck’s more traditional design choices, such as its rather square body, and the lack of side windows.
Many speculated that the truck was still in its early stages of development, and that Tesla would be releasing it a lot sooner. However, new reports from Elon Musk suggest that the company’s mass-production of the Cybertruck might not begin until 2024.
The news of the delayed production schedule was first announced during a Tesla temporary shareholder meeting in July. Elon Musk said that Tesla would “start production of the Cybertruck in two or three years.” According to analysts, this means that the mass-production of the Cybertruck could potentially start in the latter half of 2024.
The news has received a mixed responses from Tesla fans and critics alike. While some enthusiasts were disappointed by the long wait, others were not surprised by the company’s decision. After all, Tesla is still in the process of ramping up production of its other automobile models. It makes sense that the company would want to focus its attention on those models before it starts manufacturing and shipping the Cybertruck.
The development of the Cybertruck has been a source of anticipation for years, but with reports of its delayed production, it seems that we will have to wait a bit longer before we can get our hands on this futuristic electric vehicle.
