Edmunds is a very biased
Edmunds is a very biased publication with reference to Tesla. As with most automotive publications, they mostly write their articles to serve their advertisers. And Tesla doesn't advertise, so they get slammed regularly like this, with biased articles based on negative rumors and assumptions. The Tesla Texas Gigafactory where the Cybertruck will be built is just about to start production, starting with the refreshed Model Y as planned. With hundreds of thousands of pre-orders for the Cybertruck, you can bet that Tesla will be starting production as soon as possible. The Chevy Silverado won't be out until 2023, and the consumer model EV Silverado is not due until fall of 2023, so the Cybertruck has some time to start production. I figure that Cybertruck production will begin later this year, and that's fine. I suspect that the delay was due to suppliers, as well as issues with ramping up their new 4680 battery production. With all of the delays facing every automaker this year, Tesla has also had to adapt, and needed to focus on their most popular Model 3 and Model Y production first.
