Just one for me which he promised in 2019 launch to be in production 2021.

I've posted this several times. Here we go again. This was my order page the night of the reveal, when I put down my $100 deposit. Notice that it said the single would be first production in late 2021, with AWD trucks EXPECTED to start production in late 2022. This was what I saw and anticipated to be the wait times on Nov. 21 2019.
Here we are almost three years later. Which was exactly when Tesla said AWD is EXPECTED to start production, and most people EXPECT production to begin on AWD Cybertrucks in Mid-2023.
Theoretically it's only a 6-month miss on EXPECTED start of production. Look at what Tesla has done to make it happen. They purchased land in Austin and built a Giga-factory. They are purchasing and installing equipment that is needed to start production.
A few thousand Cybertrucks on the road would mean the floodgates are about to be opened!!!!!
Agree 100%, Cybertruck is not even a year late YET.
In addition Elon and Tesla could not have anticipated a global pandemic and even after that shock came a global supply shortage that is still not complete resolved. Considering those two things if Tesla ships Cybertrucks before end of 2023 they will have done a herculean job.
In 2017, more than two years before 2019 Cybertruck reveal, GM promised at least 20 EV models by Oct 2022. The Bolt already existed before so they only released two models (Hummer, Lyric) and the actual shipping volume is a round error compared to Tesla shipments.
Give GM three more years (total 8) and they still probably will NOT have fulfilled the 2017 promise.
