1.5 million pre-orders for the Cybertruck

San Francisco, 7/18/2023

Tesla’s first Cybertruck was finally built, rolling off the assembly line at the company’s Giga plant in Texas. The fully electric pickup was first introduced almost four years ago.

Production of the Cybertruck was originally planned for 2020-21, but was delayed due to component shortages and the pandemic.

Its stainless steel frame and next-generation battery have also contributed to production shortages.

Full series production is expected in 2024, but limited production could begin as early as this summer.

Tesla has received more than 1.5 million pre-orders for the Cybertruck, and Elon Musk plans to produce up to a quarter million a year, depending on demand.
