Tesla’s Cybertruck has been a controversial contender in the electric pickup space, not least because Elon Musk still hasn’t begun building them.
The production of Tesla’s long-awaited Cybertruck has been pushed back yet again. The electric truck, first unveiled way back in 2019, is now unlikely to enter mass production until 2024, the automaker has confirmed. It isn’t the first time the Cybertruck has been delayed, mind, with production initially promised in 2021. However, numerous factors including a global semiconductor shortage prevented that from happening, and fans were told to expect the truck in « late 2022. »
Late 2022 came and went without a single Cybertruck leaving the factory. The production date was revised to « early 2023 » before being shifted again to « late 2023. » Now, a month into the 23rd year of the new millennium, word has emerged that Cybertruck fans still clutching a three-year-old reservation might have to wait even longer.
Those pre-orders aren’t surprising, given how the Cybertruck was pitched. The company described it as having « better utility than a truck with more performance than a sports car.
