Bloomberg reports that Tesla will deliver 2,000 Cybertruck pickup trucks in 2023, a paltry fraction of the 1.78 million electric vehicles it plans to produce in total for the year. In a Septemer 3 report, the analyst expressed doubts that the model would boost the company’s profitability, citing the difficulty of optimizing production and the need for larger battery packs for the pickup.
Tesla unveiled the Cybertruck prototype back in November 2019. The model’s body was made of high-strength steel, which is used to build SpaceX’s space rockets. The pickup truck will be able to carry more than 1.5 tons of cargo, accelerate to 96 km/h in 2.9 seconds and travel up to 800 km on a single battery charge.
Tesla has repeatedly postponed the production of the Cybertruck. It was first unveiled in 2019, and production was expected to begin in late 2021. Last year, company owner Elon Musk postponed the start of production of the pickup truck to 2023 due to a shortage of components.
The launch of the Cybertruck will allow Tesla to enter one of the most profitable segments of the U.S. market and compete with Ford and Rivian’s F-150 Lightning and R1T electric pickup trucks, respectively, Reuters notes.
Today, the long-awaited moment has arrived as Tesla unveils the groundbreaking Cybertruck. Prior rumors hinted at production challenges, but now we witness the arrival of the finalized prototypes.
