I am a pretty active viewer of Joe Tegtmeyer & Airwave Dynamics on YT/X, and from all of the footage over the past few months Gigatexas has seemed to not ramp up Cybertruck production at all.

Every week I see hundreds of Model 3/Y, with a few Cybertrucks sprinkled in. Heck, I see more Cybercabs than Cybertrucks at this point. Which is crazy because they aren't even for sale yet LOL.

I am currently waiting on my own SAWD Cybertruck, but seeing these videos makes me wonder why production is so slow. They have a backup until 2027, so idk why they wouldn't push through orders more heavily. There's no way they are at the capacity they list as possible.

Probably did not make much change to production line, so the queue remains

Takes time to train Optimus to do it, gotta get the cost down somehow.

That and discontinuing FSD purchase pushed me over the edge. Even if they discontinue it now I have the most remarkable vehicle I've ever driven. I couldn't fault them for cutting it, it's still a business after all. I'm still hoping the AWD standard will pick up sales as I'd love to see what version 2 of this thing will be like.

Unfortunately tesla is the most secretive and non communicative auto maker on the planet so getting any answer is not possible.
What makes you think that Tesla is the most secretive? Until Tesla no one ever heard anything from auto makers unless they were marketing a new vehicle. At least, that is what I recall. It is true that Tesla holds news until they are ready to release it but that seems normal.
