On Aug. 7, 2021, Tesla announced that its electric pickup truck, the Cybertruck, will not be released until 2022, after initially being scheduled to come out in late 2021. The truck has been hampered by design issues, and also by supply chain challenges related to the pandemic. On April 7, 2022, Musk said the Cybertruck would debut in 2023, and would be assembled at the company's recently opened plant in Austin, Texas.
