Tesla Cybertruck is delayed again — it won't get in until at least 2023

Information technology's official and the rumors were truthful: the Tesla Cybertruck has been delayed and won't be arriving this twelvemonth. That was confirmed by Tesla CEO Elon Musk, during the automaker's Q4 2021 earnings call.

The Cybertruck has already been delayed once, with the all-electric truck originally prepare to arrive late last year. A recent report from Reuters and then claimed that the truck had been pushed dorsum from its new late 2022 launch date, and would not arrive until 2023.

Now we know that the report was accurate, and means Tesla won't have any new car launches this year. Tesla has not confirmed a new Cybertruck launch appointment as of yet.

The issue? It looks similar we can blame the ongoing supply chain issues once again. According to Musk, the launch of a new car takes a lot of resource and supply bondage make accessing those resources difficult. Right now a new launch would mean Tesla would accept to forgo growth of both product and sales to launch the Cybertruck.

Tesla is already having trouble fulfilling orders on certain models. The entry-level Model 3 has a delivery estimate of October if you become for the smaller xix-inch wheels — which are cheaper and offer better range. Meanwhile the Model Y Long Range is looking at a December delivery for the same configuration.

Anyone hoping to go a Model Ten is going to have to wait until at least Oct, and even then you'd have to buy the $126,495 Model 10 Plaid. The standard model won't be arriving until Jan 2023 — no matter what configuration you choose.

In other words Tesla could practice with growing its production capacity — peculiarly as all the bigger automakers are doing the aforementioned with their own electrical cars. Ford has promised to about double F-150 Lightning production by side by side year, while Rivian R1T production is at present at 200 units a week — with the goal of striking 150,000 EVs a year by the end of 2023.

Musk also said he hopes that Tesla volition still launch at least 1 auto in 2023. Considering the Tesla CEO's enthusiasm for the Cybertruck, and the fact we know there are prototypes that already be, it's likely that the truck is still next in line.

Tesla has previously said that work on the Cybertruck would begin after Model Y production kicked off at the Texas Gigafactory, which began at the tail-end of final year according to Musk. So that's one less barrier for the Cybertruck.

It'south non clear how supply chain issues are going to continually affect Tesla product. The Cybertruck was already delayed because the automaker couldn't become plenty 4680 bombardment cells to build them price-effectively. Information technology also puts the projected 2023 launch of the $25K hatchback and the perpetually delayed Tesla Roadster at risk.
