Tesla, the electric car company of Elon Musk, the richest person in the world, introduced its electric pickup truck Cybertruck to the whole world in 2019. This vehicle, which attracted attention with its extraordinary design, aroused excitement in many people and began to be eagerly awaited. However, since the introduction of the vehicle, there have been many problems with production.
It was announced that Cybertruck will first be produced towards the end of 2021. However, it was announced in the past months that this date has been postponed to the end of 2022. After that, the technical specifications and price information of the vehicle were removed from the website. Now, there is news that will upset those who are excitedly waiting for Cybertruck. Tesla removed the date from its website stating that the Cybertruck will be produced in 2022.
Cybertruk’s production date has been removed from the website
It was reported that this situation was first noticed by the automobile website Edmunds. According to Edmunds, the order page on the company’s website previously stated, “You will be able to complete your configuration as production approaches in 2022.” However, now this section only includes “You will be able to complete your configuration when production approaches”. This shows that the release date of the highly anticipated pickup truck is likely to be delayed once again.
According to The Verge, there may be many factors behind this decision. The most likely of these, as we can all guess, is the ongoing pandemic and chip crisis around the world. In addition, it is among the news that the unique design of the vehicle may have delayed production.
‘Roadmap Update’ for Cybertruck to be Shared on January 26
Still, the giant company announced that despite these problems, it broke a record by selling close to 1 million vehicles in 2021, with an 87% increase in sales compared to the previous year. In addition, the Model 3 had the success of being number one in monthly vehicle sales in Europe and became the first electric vehicle to do so.
For now, there is no information about when the production date may be delayed. However, it is stated that these decisions of the company may cause the loss of some customers. In addition, it is worth noting that vehicles such as Ford’s F-150 Lightning electric pickup truck can be serious competitors to Cybertruck. Let’s not forget that we will reach more information about Cybertruck in the near future. Company CEO Elon Musk stated in a statement that they will share a ‘Product Roadmap Update’ for Cybertruck on January 26, that is, in the coming weeks.
