Cybertruck specs and pricing announcement when?

every time someone suggests that “production has started”, a hopium angel gets its wings

seems to me you're making the point that the CT is an amazing truck with massive market appeal, even if it doesn't work for edge case scenario buyers?

I think that's a more than fair point

You do realize Tesla showed a photo of the first production CT coming off the line with a bunch of Tesla employees surrounding it. It might not be the first CT to go to a customer but it still is the first CT built on the Austin assembly line.

They are building release candidates, not production units. These are vehicles produced to test and refine the manufacturing line. We are likely months away from production units.

It is the first built in Austin, but it is not production and we are still months away from any cars intended for customers being produced.

Here ya go

Sometimes I wonder where people that keep asking these questions came from. There it is, trims and prices. DONE

Ok, the world has changed a bit in the past almost 4 years, but this is the last published information we have. I suspect that Tesla doesn't know yet what they will be changing in the trim price points. I wonder if they have decided which trim to manufacture first, but I am not willing to speculate beyond that considering Tesla's propensity to switch directions on a whim.

The operative word in your response is "built". Yes it is clearly labeled RC1 but what does that really mean? How much of the tooling is automated now? How many of the parts in this CT that will ultimately come from GigaAustin were produced there? Was the CT moved from section to section where whatever tasks that could be performed at that station were, and how many of those tasks required 'assistance'? And so on.

I am overjoyed that a CT has been built at GigaAustin but I agree (with others) that this is just the beginning and that we are doubtless some way from the first CT coming off the fully-operational line. Even then it will be interesting to see how long it takes for 10 CTs a day to come off the line, but from there the ramp will probably increase speed exponentially WOW or MOM.
