Anyone still patiently waiting for their Cybertruck to arrive is going to need to wait even longer before they can drive it like a crab.
As The Verge reports(Opens in a new window), during Tesla’s fourth quarter earnings call on Monday, Elon Musk confirmed that mass production of the Cybertruck won’t start until 2024. Cybertrucks are still expected to roll off the production line this summer, but Musk said the process will be “very slow at first.” Tesla’s Gigafactory in Austin, Texas will be handling production.
Tesla unveiled the Cybertruck back in 2019 and at the time stated production would begin in 2021. That time frame then slipped to 2022, and then to 2023. So anyone who placed a pre-order for the electric vehicle is unlikely to be surprised their delivery date is slipping again.
Depending on how high up your name is on the pre-order list, there’s still a small chance you’ll get to drive around in one this year. I wouldn’t hold your breath, though.

Last year, Musk also broke the news that the dream of a sub-$40,000 Cybertruck was dead. The base price of $39,900 was being increased, but at the time no new base price was revealed. Anyone who reserved a Cybertruck for $99 will be expected to pay the new higher price.
