Seems increasingly likely we’ll see at least a few trucks roll off the line this year so I thought a thread where we make predictions about how this all plays out. My predictions are about just the Tesla stuff I think will happen that impacts the Cybertruck, but you can go more broad if you want.
I’ve deliberately stayed away from pricing guesses because they just end up in pointless debate.
This is based loosely on how the Model 3 launch played out, plus our understanding of current state of production.

- Gigapress assembly continues and it is completed and tossing off Cybertruck castings by end of Q1.
- 4680 ramp in Texas continues we finally see the 4680 Model Y added to the config page.
- Sometime around March - June we see the first of the beta trucks on the road. Likely at a Supercharger.
- First v4 Supercharger installations happen. Likely appearing at new locations rather than at existing chargers.
- V3 Superchargers get an upgrade to 300 or 350 kW.
- Handover party and first Cybertruck deliveries in early July — August to employees.
- Full specs announced for the first 2 trims—AWD (dual) and LR (likely tri motor).
- Either the Single Motor will be officially dropped or Tesla will say it’s coming later (2025 perhaps)
- Quad motor gets renamed to Quad Plaid and gets pushed back to 2024. (See comments below)
- Cybertruck configuration page with pricing opens October — November and customer deliveries in November - December.
- Only 1 truck will be available in 2023. Likely the tri motor. Second trim will come in early-mid 2024.
- Tesla delivers 5,000 trucks before year end.
