Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced the Cybertruck would be ready for mass production in 2023, following a long delay.

Teslas Cybertruck and Roadster are set to slip back into the next year,

Unfortunately, we simply do not know when Teslas Cybertruck will finally be arriving,

What this delay (and revelations about the new four-motor model) means for production plans of its two-motor and one-motor models.

The long-delayed Tesla Cybertruck is one of a number of models that Tesla fans are eagerly waiting to see, including the Semi Truck, Supercar, and Self-Driving Taxi.

Tesla first unveiled the Cybertruck way back in 2019 to much fanfare, and it is faced delays ever since,

But CEO Elon Musk has indicated production is finally nearing its start.

However, over the past year, Tesla has increased the prices on nearly all of the vehicles Tesla sells,

Leaving us wondering whether this sub-$40K price point is really going to ever become an option for the Cybertruck.
