Tesla<\/a> CEO Elon Musk has provided an update about the future product roadmap, including progress on the Tesla Cybertruck<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Recent rumors indicated that the all-electric pickup from Tesla\u00a0had been delayed until 2023<\/a>. That has been confirmed now.<\/p>\n

Elon Musk said during the 2021 Financial Results and Q&A Webcast event that there would be no new vehicle launches in 2022.<\/p>\n

It specifically concerns the Tesla Cybertruck and Tesla Semi<\/a>, as the Tesla Roadster<\/a> is likely even further down the list.<\/p>\n

Elon Musk explained why the company will postpone new EV introductions. Tesla’s main focus is to scale up the volume; that’s the fundamental goal for 2022.<\/p>\n

According to Tesla’s boss, the launch of a new EV would drain a lot of resources, result in additional supply constraints, and there would be basically no growth of production and sales.<\/p>\n

A few months ago, Elon Musk wrote something similar, pointing out supply constraints<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

The main constraint for the Tesla Cybertruck appears to be new technologies associated with the vehicle.<\/p>\n

He expressed hope that we would see a new electric vehicle in production next year. In other words, at least one new model has a chance to enter the market in 2023. In terms of volume, the goal is 250,000 Cybertrucks per year.<\/p>\n

Elon Musk add that the most important product development is actually not a car, but the Optimus humanoid robot<\/a>, as it has a higher potential than vehicle business.<\/p>\n

Of course, development on the Tesla Cybertruck continues as well, with\u00a0a prototype of the vehicle recently seen at the Giga Austin plant<\/a>, where it’s supposed to be produced at some point in the future.<\/p>\n

In the Q4 2021 financial report, Tesla wrote:<\/p>\n

“We are making progress on the industrialization of Cybertruck, which is currently planned for Austin production subsequent to Model Y.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
