The company's CEO said in an earnings call that the Cybertruck and Roadster will be delayed. The electric pickup truck would miss its production date, according to the announcement.

The total vehicle output will decrease if we introduce new vehicles.

The main issue for the Cybertruck is the pricing and what people are willing to pay for the included tech, according to Musk. The Cybertruck had a starting price of $39,900.

Musk was asked about the availability of a $25,000 electric car, to which he responded, "We are not currently working on a $25,000 car."

At some point we will. Musk said that they have enough on their plate right now.

The online reservation page was changed and then withdrawn from the site last August, and that's when it became apparent that the Cybertruck would be delayed. In early 2021, Musk said that few trucks would be delivered to customers by the end of the year, but no deliveries were ever made.

The Cybertruck has undergone a number of changes since the reveal, including the addition of a comically oversized single windshield wiper, traditional folding mirrors, and invisible door handles that a leaked walkaround video provided a closer look at.

The latest prototype was being driven by Musk.

Been driving latest Cybertruck prototype around Giga Texas. It’s awesome!
