- Production Speed Expectations: Musk indicated that Cybercab manufacturing will follow an S-curve, starting slowly due to the complexity of new parts and processes, with a long-term goal of producing one vehicle every 10 seconds, highlighting the challenges in early output.
- Manufacturing System Testing: Tesla is currently testing its production system, with mass production expected to begin in April 2025, and this timeline confirmation is crucial for investor confidence and market positioning.
- Market Reaction: Despite claims from investors that Cybercab production would start in less than 100 days, Musk's caution has led to a bearish sentiment, with Tesla's stock down over 6% this year, underperforming against the S&P 500 and Nasdaq indices.
- Future Outlook: Tesla aims to launch the Cybercab in 2026 and has already begun production, showcasing the company's long-term strategic focus on autonomous driving and robotics, even as it faces short-term production hurdles.
