There have been quite a lot of questions concerning the Tesla Cybertruck’s mass-production potential because the truck was first proven, and we’re clearly in a sort of “manufacturing hell” interval of the Cybertruck ramp-up. Lately, manufacturing was paused and a recall issued due to a problem with the accelerator pedal. Nonetheless, Cybertruck manufacturing capability is slowly ramping up.

Within the Tesla shareholder letter at present after which additionally on the convention name, it was acknowledged that Tesla reached manufacturing of 1,000 Cybertrucks in a single week a few weeks in the past. After all, that simply interprets to about 52,000 vehicles a 12 months, which is way from Tesla’s goal, however they have been proud to boast about this new weekly excessive.

“The Cybertruck ramp continued efficiently at Gigafactory Texas, with a sequential price enchancment in Q1. We produced over 1,000 Cybertrucks in a single week in April,” Tesla wrote.

After all, Tesla goals to extend manufacturing capability for the Cybertruck all year long, however there was no targets communicated for the place Tesla needs to be by the top of Q2, by the top of Q3, or by the top of the 12 months. Although, general Cybertruck “capability” on the firm’s manufacturing unit in Texas is >125,000 in accordance with the shareholder letter. In different phrases, that’s the place they assume they will max out manufacturing with the gear at the moment put in on the gigafactory, and that’s greater than double the Cybertruck’s present manufacturing price excessive.

Sadly, nobody requested about points or limitations at the moment holding again increased Tesla Cybertruck manufacturing charges, so we don’t know what points Tesla is grappling with in the intervening time (apart from the accelerator pedal recall). The place will Cybertruck manufacturing be on the finish of this quarter? It’s anybody’s guess. It may nonetheless be at a excessive of 1,000/week, it may double to 2,000/week, or maybe it may even triple to three,000/week. I believe it’s extra probably that it stays between the 1,000–2,000 stage, however we’ll see.
