2025 Cybertruck deliveries begin when?

There aren't enough domestic/trading partner country battery minerals available on the open market to achieve this. Tesla isn't dumb enough to try to solve a problem that can't be solved.

Plus, the qualifying minerals are wortrh more when used in a 75 kWh battery than in one almost twice as big. Because the same minerals can qualify for almost $15K worth of tax credits in nearly two vehicles rather than one $7500 credit in one Cybertruck. Simple math indicates Tesla is not going to move mountains to get those minerals in a Cybertruck. It would make no sense.

That's basically the issue for next year when the exclusion on Chinese minerals kicks in.
Currently, it's the exclusion on Chinese components, namely the cathode, which will switch to internally produced DBE soon.

I know, that's the subject of this thread, 2025 Cybertruck deliveries. When they start ramping battery production with the dry battery electrode, they won't go into trucks being delivered immediately. There are only 7 weeks of deliveries until the end of the year. I just think it's unrealistic for anyone to expect to get a dbe Cybertruck this year that is already qualified for the $7,500 individual tax credit.

Sure, it's theoretically possible a few go out, and they are qualified, but I highly doubt it. A devastating California earthquake is about as likely.

Waiting…waiting for CT to be added to be added to US government’s official list of Tesla vehicles that qualify for full EV federal credit.
