At the beginning of the year, Musk had predicted that volume production of the Cybertruck would commence in 2024, with limited production likely starting in the summer. In more recent discussions with investors, Musk indicated that Tesla would hold a Cybertruck delivery event in the third quarter of 2023. He emphasized the challenges associated with manufacturing this unique vehicle, stating that it requires time to establish the production line due to its radical design and unconventional manufacturing methods compared to traditional cars. The Cybertruck’s distinctive stainless steel frame involves complex manufacturing techniques that deviate from standard automotive production. Tesla has also faced recurring bottlenecks in relation to its next-generation 4680 battery technology.
