Tesla Cybertruck: Shipping, Production, Confusion, and Security

Tesla has started shipping Cybertruck "release candidate builds" for testing and certification purposes, while volume production for customers is expected to begin next year. The discussion about the price of the Cybertruck has been conspicuously absent, with CEO Elon Musk previously stating it would start at $39,900 but later suggesting it may not be affordable due to being a new car with a new manufacturing method. Kelley Blue Book estimates the starting price to be around $50,000, putting it in line with the Ford F-150 Lightning. With high demand and constant price changes, the $39,900 price target may be irrelevant, but Tesla is offering incentives to bring down the price. The future of the Cybertruck and Tesla's quest to become the world's largest carmaker by output remains uncertain.
