Any car company would love to be in the position of having a pre-order book exceeding demand. Tesla is facing such a position with the Cybertruck, demand has been so high that Tesla has stopped taking orders outside of North America and Mexico. The Cybertruck is currently a pre-order buying purchase with production scheduled for the first quarter of 2023. With its unique design philosophy, the Cybertruck is a pickup like none other.
The Cybertruck was first revealed in 2019, with production and first deliveries originally planned for 2022. The delays only served to increase demand. However, during a recent interview at a conference on the future of the car industry Musk gave an update.
Elon Musk:
“We have more orders of the first Cybertrucks than we could possibly fulfil for three years after the start of production, demand for some of our vehicles exceeds production to a ridiculous degree.”
The Cybertruck will be built at Tesla’s brand new Gigafactory in Texas, the largest production facility of its type. The entry-level price is expected to be around $40,000 for the single motor variant.
Prices will rise to $50,000 for the Dual Motor AWD version and $70,000 for the Tri-Motor AWD edition.
