In early 2021, Elon Musk dropped that the Tesla Cybertruck It could arrive at the end of this year and now new information points to the movement that Tesla would be carrying out to achieve it: the brand could be embarked in a pilot production line in Fremont dedicated to the electric pick-up.
Yes OK Musk has already confirmed that the Tesla Cybertruck will be conceived in the new Austin plant (Texas, USA), this line in its active factory would pave the way for, once the one in Texas is operational, its production will begin immediately, or at least speed up the deadlines. This new factory is scheduled to open its doors in a first phase in May and would be ready to start producing vehicles in June.
If so, it could be fulfilled the advance by the CEO of Tesla: “If we are lucky, we can make some deliveries by the end of this year, but I hope that the production volume is in 2022.”

At the moment, Tesla has not confirmed that it is carrying out this pilot line, which would output prototypes of the Tesla Cybertruck, but about it Fremont workers have spoken.

The truth is that it would not be unreasonable if Tesla wants to meet the deadlines, since this line dedicated to the validation of prototypes would accelerate their manufacture in the Texas factory, since would avoid changes or adjustments in the mass production of the electric pick-up.
Not in vain is it a practice that car manufacturers tend to carry out: for example, SEAT designs Volkswagen and Audi prototypes in its premises. But in general it is a common strategy in the industry.
While on the Tesla website, it is indicated that the Cybertruck, which can already be reserved for a long time, will begin production around the end of 2021 in the variants of two and three engines. The one with a single engine will do the same a year later: at the end of 2022.

In addition, we also know that with respect to the prototype presented in November 2019, the Cybertruck will undergo changes in its final version. And precisely Musk pointed out at the beginning of this month of March that this “update” would probably be revealed in the second quarter of 2021, that is to say between April and June of this year.
In this way, we would be talking about that while the definitive Tesla Cybertruck is unveiled in the coming weeks, Fremont would already be prepared to release prototypes and have everything ready for production at the Austin plant.
It is not the first time that Tesla has advanced deadlines: already with the Tesla Model Y, production and deliveries began six months ahead of schedule. And given the success of other high-flying electric pick-ups, it is foreseeable that Tesla wants to have the Cybertruck ready as soon as possible.

Beyond changing some aspects of its design, as it could collide head-on with what is required by homologation tests in terms of safety, the Tesla Cybertruck will maintain the planned variants.
The range of this electric pick-up starts in that of a single engine and rear drive, which promises a autonomy of 402 km and an acceleration from 0 to 96 km / h in 6.5 seconds, being its maximum speed of 177 km / h. Its price starts from $ 39,900 and it will be the last to arrive.

Variants are expected by the end of 2021 dual motor and tri-motor, which start in the $ 49,900 and $ 69,900 respectively. The first would fix its rank at 483 km and the second would jump to the 805 km. The most performing Cybertruck claims to be able to do 0-96 in 2.9 seconds, remarkable figures given the type of vehicle.
The Tesla Cybertruck already has rivals before its arrival on the market and its reception has been more than remarkable. For example, the Rivian R1T, whose deliveries are scheduled to start in June 2021 in its Launch Edition variant and which has already sold out orders. The same has happened with the Edition 1 of the Hummer EV: only 10 minutes after opening the reservations the quota was completed.
