If you include engineering and development costs, the building and the machinery and tooling, Cybertruck will not be cash flow positive for a couple of years. But as far as being cash flow positive on a cost to build each one basis, they might already be there. If so, this means that even though the Cybertruck is still overall in a financial hole, each additional one they build brings in more money than it costs them to make. If not, they are at least in the ballpark and doubling weekly production will get them there.That's an estimate. It could be better or worse. Right now Tesla is also in the hole per Cybertruck built.
I think it's clear GM has no path to make current versions with less direct costs than GM can sell them for. This is only partially due to having such a big battery and all the weight that entails, and the added expense more weight causes.But Tesla has a plan to make this version pay off. It's unclear if GM has such a plan with this version of the truck.
