Tesla received 1.9 million orders for Cybertruck

Last week, Tesla announced on its official Twitter account that it had built the first Cybertruck in Giga Texas. Demand is strong, and Tesla announced that it has received more than 1.9 million orders.

Tesla has not provided any information for a long time, and the latest was that production of the Cybertruck will begin this summer and that deliveries are planned for the end of the third quarter. This means that this eccentric pickup is well on its way, and even ahead of the planned production and delivery dates, since the American media reported that they heard a little earlier that Tesla had already informed suppliers to be ready for the start of production of the Cybertruck at the end of August.

Each potential customer needs to pay a deposit of only 100 dollars, so there is a possibility that a large number of reservations will not be realized. It will be interesting to see if the Cybertruck will be available outside of the North American market (Europe and Asia) where customers can already pre-order the model. Because of its size and weight, selling the Cybertruck in overseas markets could pose a serious challenge. For example, in several European countries it must be classified as a commercial truck or truck.

Elon Musk emphasizes the innovative features of the Cybertruck, claiming that this electric pickup is not even similar to the vehicles we see on the roads today. “It packs a lot of technology and it doesn’t look like any other vehicle out there today,” Musk said.

Cybertruck will be powered by three electric motors with a total output of 805 hp (600 kW) and 1,033 lb-ft (1,400 Nm), which is enough to push the car to 62 mph in just 3 seconds with a top speed of 130 mph (209 km/h). It has a range of up to 500 miles.

Tesla Cybertruck

In 2019, Tesla unveiled its Cybertruck, promising that mass production would begin at the end of 2021. It was part of a marketing ploy with Tesla bragging about production ahead of schedule, which did not happen. However, 18 months later, it was announced on the official Twitter account that Tesla built the “first Cybertruck” in Giga Texas.

Tesla has not provided any information for a long time, and the latest was that production of the Cybertruck will begin this summer and that deliveries are planned for the end of the third quarter. This means that this eccentric pickup is well on its way, and even ahead of the planned production and delivery dates, since the American media reported that they heard a little earlier that Tesla had already informed suppliers to be ready for the start of production of the Cybertruck at the end of August.

Many already doubt that Tesla will meet the second delivery deadline at the end of September. They believe that it is better for management and factory workers to fine-tune the production and supply chain so that production and deliveries run smoothly.

There is no new information about the car. What is known for now is the information published in 2019. Its exoskeleton body is built from Ultra-Hard 30X Cold-Rolled stainless-steel for ultimate durability and passenger protection. Its low center of gravity provides extraordinary traction control and torque. It is powered by three electric motors with a total output of 805 hp (600 kW) and 1,033 lb-ft (1,400 Nm), which is enough to push the car to 62 mph in just 3 seconds with a top speed of 130 mph (209 km/h). It has a range of up to 500 miles.

Tesla is creating an ecological paradise next to the Giga Texas plant

Last April, Tesla opened a facility called Giga Texas that will have the capacity to produce 500,000 vehicles a year. The plant covers an area of ​​250 hectares and currently produces 250,000 vehicles per year. Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced on Twitter that the company will expand its land area after the Giga Texas plant is at full capacity. This area will be called “ecological paradise”, and it is an additional 522,720 feet (12 hectares) that will be open to the public and will have a boardwalk and numerous amenities.

This is positive news for Tesla, as the company has recently been under fire for safety and mechanical problems. Despite this, Tesla records sales growth every year. Last year, the company recorded a growth of 3 percent compared to 2020, and in the first six months of this year, 564,700 vehicles were delivered.

Six months ago, Tesla opened its first plant in Europe. It is a $5 billion investment, with which the company wants to reduce the pressure on plants in Asia and the United States. “This is a big day for the factory and it is another step towards a sustainable future,” Musk said.

At full capacity, the plant will produce 500,000 vehicles per year, significantly more than Volkswagen, which sold 450,000 electric vehicles worldwide last year.
