Musk: Tesla's electric pickup Cybertruck is about to roll off the production line, with reservations exceeding 500,000 units

Recently, a netizen asked Musk on Twitter when Tesla's electric pickup Cybertruck would be launched. Musk then forwarded the message and replied: "Cybertruck will most likely be launched in the second quarter of 2021. Since Cybertruck will be produced in the Gigafactory in Texas, the key still depends on the construction of the Tesla factory."

It is understood that at the end of 2019, Tesla released its first electric pickup truck Cybertruck. Because its appearance is completely different from similar products on the market, it is widely anticipated by consumers.

Tesla's official data shows that as of the end of February 2020, the number of CyberTruck reservations has exceeded 500,000.

The reason why Tesla chose to launch Cybertruck in 2021, in addition to the desire to expand its product line, must also be related to the general trend of the industry.

Data shows that as the trend of electrification intensifies, China's annual sales of electric trucks are expected to reach 139,000 in 2025, and the average annual compound growth rate from 2020 to 2025 will remain above 30%.

After gaining a decisive advantage in the passenger car market, Tesla's early entry into the electric truck market will undoubtedly bring severe challenges to new car companies.
