Musk Warns Cybertruck Production Ramp Up Will Be Slow and Difficult

Elon Musk told Tesla shareholders and Cybertruck reservation holders to temper their expectations about Cybertruck production ramp up. He said it will be very difficult.

Musk said Tesla is aiming for 250,000 Cybertrucks per year eventually, but it will take about 18 months to reach significant volume and positive cash flow.

The complex and unique design of Cybertruck has complicated manufacturing. Tesla can't copy other techniques and has to invent everything from scratch.

Musk said investors shouldn't expect positive cash flow from the Cybertruck program until 2025.

The Cybertruck is likely to be expensive at first, possibly over $80,000, before the price can be brought down.
