Tesla Q1 2023 Q&A - Direct question to Elon about Cybertruck!

[ED_SFO]

At least he gave us a little tidbit...i prefer a certain month than not knowing at all...less anxiously wondering. Seems like yes they will start production around June and July but won't have enough inventory to deliver until end of Sept. So around August we should see a bunch of CT lined up outside!!

they delivered a handful at the last delivery event.
and he did say HOPEFULLY Q3 so it could still be Q4 or later.
this is Tesla and elon we are talking about

exactly what he did. separate cyber truck delivery event near the end of Q3. This means the event will take place near the end of September

This is 100% exactly in line with prior statements about production starting in Summer. No surprise here at all.

I was super relieved that they are doubling down on it. Seems we’ll have solid chance of 2 months of deliveries in 2023.

Being in the first 3k of CT production, I'm hoping it'll deliver before Christmas.

I am curious why the crash test never showed the actual crash damage. Like ALL the other manufacturers do.
is Tesla hiding something?
was the damage so extensive?
I think this is a legitimate question

because it was funny

Jack is right again - but that didn’t take much effort at least he confirmed a delivery event, and said that the Cybertruck will be one for the history books (though it already is).

delivery event in Q3 means production in Q2

.... and therefore trims and pricing

I mean it's smart to wait till the very last minute, like he said he doesn't have a crystal ball to gauge how things are going by Q3.

What we have learned is that they are staying true to their mission by sacrificing profits over affordability. Initially i think CT price will still be semi elevated to get things rolling but also keeping profits in check. Don't think they will launch a new product at a negative profit margin, but i think they are ok with probably 10-15% margins to get more of these trucks in ppl hands. What great is that Cybertruck is in its own category, so we will have a detail look at production numbers during Q4 earnings call and future calls tracking their ramp up.

I might lease my CT first and wait 3 years then buy the more improved one.
