- After its 2019 unveiling, it drew 250,000 refundable-deposit pre-orders within five days.
- Volume production slipped from late 2021 to 2023, and the first trial-production vehicle rolled off the line in July 2023.

PHYSIX OBSERVATION
The Cybertruck phase-out shows that the stainless-steel pickup's niche path cannot sustain scale. The price climbed from 39,900 USD at launch to over 82,000 USD, and combined with 11 recalls, user trust has been drained. For the industry, electric pickups cannot rely on styling gimmicks alone; volume ramp-up, quality control and pricing stability are what matter, and latecomers should take heed.
