Overview
- Tesla is planning to produce 200,000 units of the Cybertruck, an electric pickup truck, per year, according to CEO Elon Musk.
- The Cybertruck will have a 'beast mode' version which can go from 0 to 60 in below 3 seconds. It will weigh between 6,000 to 7,000 pounds, depending on the configuration.
- Bulletproof options, including stainless steel body panels and thick glass windows that remain immobile due to their thickness, will also be available for the Cybertruck.
- Deliveries of the Cybertruck are set to begin on Nov. 30, four years after its initial unveiling, despite facing 'enormous challenges' in ramping up production and becoming cash-flow positive.
- Despite the ambitious production goal, Musk has warned of the difficulty of manufacturing the Cybertruck given the large amount of new technology involved.
