There have been a whole lot of questions in regards to the Tesla Cybertruck’s mass-production potential because the truck was first proven, and we’re clearly in a sort of “production hell” interval of the Cybertruck ramp-up. Not too long ago, manufacturing was paused and a recall issued due to an issue with the accelerator pedal. Nonetheless, Cybertruck manufacturing capability is slowly ramping up.

Within the Tesla shareholder letter immediately after which additionally on the convention name, it was said that Tesla reached manufacturing of 1,000 Cybertrucks in a single week a few weeks in the past. In fact, that simply interprets to about 52,000 vans a 12 months, which is much from Tesla’s goal, however they have been proud to boast about this new weekly excessive.

“The Cybertruck ramp continued successfully at Gigafactory Texas, with a sequential cost improvement in Q1. We produced over 1,000 Cybertrucks in a single week in April,” Tesla wrote.

In fact, Tesla goals to extend manufacturing capability for the Cybertruck all year long, however there was no targets communicated for the place Tesla desires to be by the tip of Q2, by the tip of Q3, or by the tip of the 12 months. Although, general Cybertruck “capacity” on the firm’s manufacturing facility in Texas is >125,000 based on the shareholder letter. In different phrases, that’s the place they assume they’ll max out manufacturing with the tools at the moment put in on the gigafactory, and that’s greater than double the Cybertruck’s present manufacturing charge excessive.

Sadly, nobody requested about points or limitations at the moment holding again greater Tesla Cybertruck manufacturing charges, so we don’t know what points Tesla is grappling with in the mean time (other than the accelerator pedal recall). The place will Cybertruck manufacturing be on the finish of this quarter? It’s anybody’s guess. It may nonetheless be at a excessive of 1,000/week, it may double to 2,000/week, or maybe it may even triple to three,000/week. I believe it’s extra doubtless that it stays between the 1,000–2,000 degree, however we’ll see.
