While this move isn’t earth-shattering, it did rattle the market enough to knock Tesla’s stock down by nearly 4%. Why Tesla Wants to Ramp Up, But Maybe Not for the Cybertruck The Model Y, which was recently updated, might see an uptick in sales soon, which is likely why Tesla wants to ensure it’s ready to ramp up production. But the Cybertruck? Well, let’s just say Tesla’s ambitions for the electric pickup truck seem to have cooled off – a lot. Earlier this year, the company lowered its manufacturing targets for the Cybertruck, and current production lines are barely running at full capacity. Musk had famously predicted Tesla could churn out as many as 250,000 to 500,000 Cybertrucks annually, but reality is proving much less ambitious. As of March, only about 46,000 Cybertrucks had been built and sold, despite the pickup’s promising debut earlier in 2024. So while Tesla may be gearing up for a production boost in some areas, the Cybertruck’s road to mass production is still a questionable one. At least for now. TAGS
