When the Cybertruck was introduced four years ago, production was expected to start at the end of 2021 and its price was expected to be between 40,000 and 70,000 dollars. The cheapest version is currently priced at $61,000, while the most expensive version is $100,000. It remains unclear how much early Cybertruck buyers paid for their vehicles.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk (52) is full of praise for employees and the company. On I love you.”
lucrative market
Tesla is entering an extremely lucrative market segment in the US with the Cybertruck. Pickup trucks are among the most popular vehicles here. Last year, the Chevrolet Silverado was the best-selling model in the country; In previous years, it was usually Ford’s F Series.
US auto giants now offer their own electric pickups. But so far they are selling in small numbers. GM sold just 18 Silverado EV cars in the last quarter, compared to about 143,500 vehicles from that model with combustion and hybrid drive.
A quarter million trucks a year
Major manufacturers attribute this not only to initial bottlenecks in production, but also to the fact that interest in more expensive electric vehicles is currently fundamentally low.
Tesla wants to produce up to 250,000 Cybertruck pickup trucks per year, but as Musk recently said, it probably won’t hit that goal before 2025.
A large stainless steel triangle, the Cybertruck looks completely different from traditional pickups. This was criticized or ridiculed by some automobile design experts. At the Tesla factory in Austin, Texas, Musk emphasized that the unusual angular shape was because the steel alloy developed specifically for the Cybertruck was very hard and could only be bent to a limited extent.
