IMHO, that thing is UGLY!
If you’re one of the last of the million or so consumers with a reservation for the Tesla Cybertruck, don’t expect to take delivery before 2028. In Tesla’s quarterly earnings investor call Wednesday, CEO Elon Musk said production will not reach capacity next year, and the radical entry into legacy automakers’ most profitable segment, pickup trucks, will not be “revenue-positive” in 2024.
“If you want to do something radical and different, it is extremely difficult because there’s nothing to copy,” Musk said. “I think we’ll end up with roughly a quarter-million units a year, probably sometime in 2025. That’s my best guess.”
Musk’s comments came in response to an anonymous investor question that was sent in prior to the earnings call, and which received the most votes from Tesla fanboys and fangirls online. The question of whether Cybertruck production will really start this year did not come up, though Musk did say he is driving around Austin, Texas, home of Tesla’s headquarters, in one.
As is tradition, reporters listening in were not able to ask questions. ...
