A Waiting Game: Cybertruck Orders Pushed to 2025
Prospective Tesla Cybertruck buyers are in for a long haul – with new orders now slated for delivery in 2025, a year later than previously indicated on Tesla’s website.
Timeline Adjustments: What Led to the Shift?
In a recent move, Tesla updated its website, extending the expected delivery timeline to 2025 for both the all-wheel-drive Cybertruck and the premium Cyberbeast models, shifting from the earlier projection of 2024.
The Order Process: Details for Interested Buyers
Interested buyers can secure their spot in line for the Cybertruck by placing an order with a refundable $250 deposit. Tesla will then reach out to customers when it’s time to configure their vehicle.
Production and Delivery Insight
Tesla’s delivery data does not distinguish between various models, including the Cybertruck, making it challenging to gauge the exact number of Cybertruck deliveries since the initial rollout in November.
The company reported a total production of 20,995 units for the Model S, X, and Cybertruck combined in the first quarter, with 17,027 units delivered during the same period.
Tesla aims to achieve an annual delivery target of 250,000 Cybertrucks; however, CEO Elon Musk cautioned that this objective may only be met by 2025, highlighting the complexities of scaling production to meet the high demand.
Challenges Ahead: Scaling Up Production
With an extensive backlog of pre-orders, exceeding a million reservations for the Cybertruck, Tesla faces the formidable task of ramping up production to meet the soaring demand. Third-party estimates suggest that the actual number of Cybertruck reservations could be nearly double the official figures.
Although Musk recently stated that Cybertruck production is on the rise, there is currently no independent verification of this claim, leaving the timeline for enhanced production capabilities somewhat uncertain.
