The Tesla Cybertruck has been delayed for several reasons, including:
- Unorthodox design:Â Cybertruck’s unique design has presented some challenges in terms of engineering and manufacturing. For example, the truck’s stainless steel body is difficult to seal, which has led to problems with noise and leaks.
- Production issues:Â Tesla has had some production issues in recent years, which have affected the production of other models, such as the Model 3 and Model Y. These production issues may have also contributed to the delay of the Cybertruck.
- High demand:Â The Cybertruck has been very well-received by consumers, with over 1.8 million reservations. This increased demand has put a strain on Tesla’s production capacity.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk said the Cybertruck will begin production in late 2023 despite the delays. It remains to be seen whether Tesla will be able to meet this deadline.

Here are some additional details about the challenges Tesla has faced in developing the Cybertruck:
- Body sealing:Â Cybertruck’s stainless steel body is difficult to seal, leading to noise and leak problems. The leaked engineering report found that the pre-production Cybertruck had “abundant” noise and leaking issues.
- Suspension:Â The Cybertruck’s unusual design has also presented challenges in terms of suspension. The leaked engineering report found that the pre-production Cybertruck was handled poorly, with lots of body roll, steering issues, and “structural shake.”
- Braking:Â The pre-production Cybertruck also had problems with braking. The leaked engineering report found that the pre-production Cybertruck achieved a braking score of four out of seven, which is considered “fair.” The target braking score was seven.
Conclusion
Despite these challenges, Tesla has made significant progress in developing the Cybertruck. The company has built several prototypes and is testing the truck in various environments. Tesla may overcome the remaining challenges and begin production of the Cybertruck in late 2023.
