Tesla Cybertruck Production Approaches: Casting Molds Being Delivered To Texas

After a 9,000-ton gigapress being constructed at Tesla Inc.'s TSLA Texas factory was spotted, excitement began building for the start of Cybertruck production.

While CEO Elon Musk was silent on the topic for several months, fans eagerly awaited to hear more about specs, pricing and first delivery dates. 

What Happened: Evidence mounted that initial Cybertruck production was getting closer.
As shared recently by Teslarati, some casting molds for the Tesla Cybertruck arrived. On Twitter, a user showed how these molds would be utilized to form the Cybertruck’s rear underbody after being placed in the gigapress. Interestingly, some of the molds weigh more than 250,000 pounds.

Although initial production was hoped to start in 2021, Musk said during the company's third-quarter earnings call that Tesla was in the final lap for Cybertruck production.

One year ago, Musk was driving the latest Cybertruck prototype in Texas.

As of today, there is still no new information on when the truck will launch or at what price point.
