Cybertruck Moves In The Right Direction As Machinery Needed To Produce It Is On Way To Tesla

Tesla Inc TSLA is now using gigantic gigapress machines to produce its most popular car, the Model Y. This process has many benefits including reduced weight, fewer parts and lower production cost. 

Tesla also plans to use this technique in a bigger way to produce the highly anticipated Cybertruck.

As shared by Sawyer Merrit on Twitter, the 9,000-ton gigapress used for Cybertruck production is on its way to Texas. The company that produces this massive machine, IDRA, posted a picture of the machine saying "packed and ready to go!" 

BREAKING: Tesla Giga Press maker IDRA just posted this photo on their LinkedIn with the caption "Packed and ready to go!" and with the hashtag "#9000t"

While it seems the COVID-19 pandemic slowed things down for the Cybertruck, which was first revealed in 2019, Tesla CEO Elon Musk recently said he would begin driving his beta Cybertruck soon, and production and initial deliveries are planned for mid-2023.
