Tesla's Cybertruck: Musk's Grave Mistake

author: FutureCar Staff    

Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, has addressed the challenges the company has faced in bringing the Cybertruck to market during a recent earnings call. The angular design of the electric pickup has presented numerous problems when it comes to scaling up production, causing Tesla to miss its Q3 deadline for deliveries. The company is now aiming for a November 30 launch, which marks the sixth delivery date that has been announced. Musk described the Cybertruck as a special product that is incredibly difficult to bring to market and reach volume production.

While starting deliveries is the first hurdle, Tesla also needs to rapidly scale up production to meet the demand. Currently, there are an estimated 2 million people on the Cybertruck waitlist. However, Musk has warned that mass production of the truck will not begin until 2025. The company is targeting an annual output of 250,000 trucks by that time. Musk emphasized that there will be significant challenges in reaching volume production and making the Cybertruck cash flow positive, which is to be expected.

With a delivery date of November 30 and a production goal of 250,000 trucks per year by 2025, the question remains whether Musk will be able to meet these targets. Will we soon be witnessing the eighth Cybertruck delivery day, or will Tesla overcome the challenges and successfully bring this unique vehicle to the market?
