During the earnings call, Musk emphasized the challenges of producing such a unique and “radical” product, stating that “it takes time to get the manufacturing line going…it’s not made in the way that other cars are made.” The production version of the Cybertruck unveiled last year featured automatic door opening and no visible door handles. The vehicle is constructed of stainless steel, which is significantly more expensive than industry-standard steel, and requires specialized welding techniques and custom-made components.
