It's hard to forget about the Tesla Cybertruck and its blocky design that comes straight out of another planet. But if it weren't for that stainless steel "exoskeleton," years of delays for the highly anticipated electric truck likely would have pushed it way beyond recent memory.


Those who placed their Cybertruck orders back in 2019 (and still haven't cancelled it) could be seeing the light at the end of the tunnel fairly soon, as Tesla boss Elon Musk has announced that mass production will begin in 2024, during the company's call regarding its Q4 earnings. Musk continued that initial production units are to arrive much sooner, but it'll be a slow process.


"We do expect production to start sometime this summer," he announced. "But I always try and downplay the start of production because the start of production is always very slow."



Despite the initial units rolling off the line fairly soon, assuming the statement above is correct, the company still hasn't released any images of the final product, nor has official pricing been announced. Tesla has become notorious for the continuous delays placed on the Cybertruck, and several announced production dates in the past have been proven false. There are allegedly 1.5 million pre-orders for the electric pickup, so hopefully the 2024 production date turns out to be true this time around.


Amid the first deliveries of Model Y units from Tesla's new Texas plant, during an event dubbed Cyber Rodeo, the company showed off a Cybertruck model with several new production parts, including exterior side mirrors, but the example suffered panel gaps and some other flaws. Moving onto late last year, an image surfaced online appearing to show a closer-to-production Cybertruck unit, which revealed major changes to the lighting units and other components.


Do you think the Cybertruck will ever reach production?
