Tesla waiting for another machine press to make Cybertruck

Elon Musk-led giant Tesla Inc. TSLA is reportedly waiting for delivery of another of the world's largest gigapress machines to make its hotly anticipated Cybertruck.

What happened to the world's biggest machine press manufactured by Idra for cybertruck production in Gigafactory Texas, now in Houston, reported Electrek.

Tesla also uses the Giga Press units for Model Y production at the same factory.

In October, it was reported that the first such machine was on its way to Tesla's Gigafactory. Back then Idra posted a picture of the machinery package with the caption Packed and ready to go! The gigapress 9000 t diecasting automotive See also: Best Stock Trading Software

Musk claims that the Cybertruck will have better utility than a truck and more performance than a sports car, and is expected to start production later this year.

Last month, Musk called the Cybertruck an epic vehicle and confirmed that it is coming later this year.

In a February tweet, Musk said that handling demand for the Cybertruck won't be an issue, but ramping production will likely be a challenge.

Since its unveiling in 2019, the Cybertruck has been one of the most anticipated product launches from the Tesla stable and one of the most anticipated vehicle launches of all time.
