Insider says Tesla Cybertruck delayed to 2023

Tesla is pushing the start of Cybertruck production to 2023, and insider says. The electric pickup was revealed in 2019 and originally expected to begin deliveries in 2021.
A person familiar with the matter has now told Reuters that the truck won't enter production at Tesla's new Austin, Tex., factory until the first quarter of 2023.
The issue stems from new features being added to the full-size pickup, some mirroring those of its competitors from Rivian and GMC that went on sale last year.
In December, Tesla CEO Elon Musk said the initial Cybertrucks would now be powered by four electric motors instead of the originally advertised three and have a four wheel steering system that allows the truck to drive diagonally "not just like a tank," but also "like a crab."
