I thought Cybertruck was supposed to be built in Texas?
> We are making progress on the industrialization of Cybertruck, which is currently planned for Austin production
subsequent to Model Y.
What's that mean? Cybertruck coming out in the 2030s?
- skellera 5y agoThey expect the Model Y to be the best selling EV in the world within a few years. They are fully focused on getting Texas set up for that. Cybertruck will probably come around 2023, maybe start production at the end of 2022 if everything went perfect.
- panick21_ 5y ago> What's that mean? Cybertruck coming out in the 2030s? Why would you assume that? Model Y production is literally already in pre-production phase and will be scaling all next year. Cybertruck will be 6M-1Y behind in Austin. They will need massive battery capacity for Cybertruck in addition to 500K Model Y. This is what people don't understand. They are planning 500K Model Y and 500K Cybertrucks, that needs more battery then currently is being produced in Nevada. In addition to the other supply chain, chips and battery is required to be available to seriously start Cybertruck. That is why Austin will include a dedicated battery factory and even a dedicated cathode manufacturing plant.
