Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced on Wednesday that the company will not be introducing new vehicle models in 2022, confirming the delay in the production of Tesla’s futuristic Cybertruck to 2023.
Tesla has delayed production of its much-awaited Cybertruck, aiming to start in 2023, chief executive Elon Musk said on Wednesday, at a time when rivals are doubling down on efforts to capture the lucrative market. The announcement confirms a Reuters report from earlier this month and comes as the electric-vehicle maker reported record quarterly revenue and 2022 deliveries growing more than 50 percent, despite supply chain issues. Musk, who unveiled the futuristic vehicle in 2019, had already delayed its production from late 2021 until late 2022. Tesla will prepare to launch Cybertruck, Semi, and Roadster as well as its humanoid robot next year, he said.
