I don't know if you've been following Joe Tegtmeyer's drone videos of progress at Gigafactory Texas... usually they update M/W/F afternoons. Here's the one from last Wednesday (today's should post in about 3 hours).Your guess is as good as any.
Although, I am getting concerned with the lack of progress on both the development of the Cybertruck (the Alpha version recently seen testing on the airport runway in Cali should have happened a year ago....) and the fact GigaTexas is not done yet. GigaTexas was "supposed" to be finished June 30th according to Tesla's original timeline.
They might still spit out some test runs for the Model Y in December, but they are clearly behind. That will push back the build out of the CyberTruck production line at Austin. It also appears there is a lag in the 4680 battery manufacturing. Combine those 3 things and it looks like 2023 is when the CT should actually begin to ramp. Not sure if that means 50K the first year, or 150,000. Either way a lot of people are left waiting for their CT until 2024 and 2025. It was announced in 2019.
