Tesla’s long-awaited Cybertruck will be available for purchase
Elon Musk claims that delays in constructing the pickup have allowed competitors such as Ford to beat Tesla to market with electric pickups next year.
Tesla’s long-awaited electric pickup, the Cybertruck, will go into production next year, along with a slew of other new items, according to Elon Musk, the company’s CEO.
The truck, which stands apart from regular pickups with its angular form and stainless-steel exterior, has been delayed since an unlucky debut in 2019 when a designer threw a metal ball through a window in what was supposed to be a display of the vehicle’s toughness.
Instead, the window began to crack.
Due to delays in the production of the Cybertruck, competitors have been able to bring pickup trucks to market faster, which is one of the most popular types of vehicle in the United States. The Lightning, a battery-powered version of Ford’s F-150, is set to start shipping this summer. Rivian’s electric truck debuted late last year to acclaim, but the business has struggled to scale up production, which is a common issue for young auto companies.
Musk touted the event as the “largest party on earth,” using his trademark hyperbole. He claims the factory is the size of three Pentagons.
According to KXAN, local schools closed early so that parents could avoid traffic congestion caused by those going to the event. Among the attendees was actor Harrison Ford. Tesla arranged red, white, and blue cars in a pattern that resembled the Texas flag.
The manufacturing is part of Tesla’s global development, which also includes a new facility near Berlin. The additional production lines, in combination with an existing factory in Shanghai, might allow the business repeat its boom from 2021, when it nearly doubled sales to over one million vehicles, significantly surpassing other major automakers.
Mr. Musk stated, “This year is all about scaling up.” “There will be a major influx of new products next year.”
