Tesla delivers about a dozen stainless steel Cybertruck pickups as it tries to fix production woes

Associated Press  

DETROIT — With manufacturing kinks still to be worked out, Tesla delivered the first dozen or so of its futuristic Cybertruck pickups to customers Thursday, two years behind the original schedule amid uncertainty over when large-scale production will begin. Musk said the Cybertruck’s body is made of a stainless steel alloy developed by Tesla. But on the company’s earnings conference call in October, Musk lamented how hard it has been to produce the innovative truck with a body made of hard-to-bend stainless steel. “We dug our own grave with Cybertruck,” said Musk, who added that he didn’t think the company would reach its production target of 250,000 per year until 2025. Insanely difficult things.” Tesla, Musk said, could easily have produced trucks similar to those already on the market, but he wanted to make something innovative and special.
