Tesla is storing a huge number of Cybertruck castings at Gigafactory Texas. This is a sign that production is almost complete, which means that orders will be coming soon as well.
For months now, Tesla has been showing early-stage validation, public road testing, crash tests, and some of the best-built Cybertruck units. This means that production is almost ready to start.

If this is any sign of how close Tesla is to making the Cybertruck, it looks like the EPA could give the go-ahead for deliveries in the next few weeks. It’s even more interesting that there are so many openings here. This means that Tesla should be able to speed up the Cybertruck program pretty quickly.
The company will try to start making more Cybertrucks as soon as possible so that it can meet the needs of its two million bookings for the pickup, according to the most recent order tracker numbers.
Also, Cybertruck sales will help the car company reach its 2023 goal of delivering 1.8 million units, which was especially important after missing that goal in Q3.
