The Cybertruck is finally about to hit the roads! Tesla’s 100% electric open-dump all-terrain utility vehicle is undoubtedly the most anticipated car in the world today. The two million potential customers who pre-ordered the futuristic pickup will be delighted to learn that the company has finally announced a marketing date.
It is on the occasion of the quarterly financial report that the date of November 30, 2023 has been announced. On that day, the keys to the first production Cybertruck will be given to its first owner. It is unclear what form the event will take or where it will take place, but the car’s presentation will surely attract press attention. During the presentation of the company’s quarterly results, the managers therefore affirmed that “pilot production of the Cybertruck began at the GigaFactory in Austin and remains on track for first deliveries this year “.
According to Tesla, the Texan factory would thus be able to release more than 125,000 Cybertrucks per year, in addition to 125,000 Model Ys rolling off production lines each semester. With such low productivity, it will take 16 years to manufacture the 2 million Cybertrucks on pre-order. Furthermore, in the opinion of observers, this figure is more of a projection than a reality. An Electrek reader who lives next to the factory claims that Cybertruck installations are far from being finalized.

According to the reader, “the construction of the parking lot [pour entreposer les voitures terminées] has just started and the foundations for the building extension are being dug […] by 2024, the place will be in full swing “. If Tesla has high hopes for its futuristic retro car, it also plans to diversify its activities. Thus, the NACS charging standard created by Tesla is beginning to establish itself among all automobile manufacturers.
Tesla also wants to make itself indispensable in homes with energy storage solutions such as the Powerwall. In another area, but just as topical, according to Elon Musk, the future of the company is in the Tesla Bot and AI.
