Tesla has pushed back initial production of its Cybertruck to early 2023 — 2 years later than Elon Musk first predicted, a report says

The Cybertruck was supposed to be produced in early 2020, two years later than CEO Musk first predicted.

A person with knowledge of the matter said that the electric pickup truck would be delayed from late this year to the first quarter of next year.

The delay is due to changes to the Cybertruck's features and components, according to a person.

Cybertruck production is expected to be limited in the first quarter of next year, according to a person.

During the fourth-quarter earnings call in January last year, Musk said that the first Cybertrucks would ship in 2021, if we get lucky, and that volume production would begin in 2022.

Potential customers were told in August that they would be able to complete their configuration in 2022.
The page was changed in December as production nears.

In its fourth-quarter earnings on January 26th, Musk is expected to give an update on the Cybertruck, after he said in December that a product update would happen on the next earnings call.

The Cybertruck delay was made outside of the US operating hours, but the company didn't immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
