Tesla CEO Elon Musk Reiterates Need To Make Cybertruck Cheaper: 'It's A Great Truck. We Need To Make It More Affordable'
Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) CEO Elon Musk on Tuesday reiterated the company's intent to make its latest offering- the Cybertruck- more affordable in the future.
特斯拉公司(納斯達克股票代碼:TSLA)首席執行官埃隆·馬斯克週二重申,該公司打算在未來使其最新產品——Cybertruck——更加實惠。
What Happened: "It's a great truck," Musk wrote on social media platform X. "We need to make it more affordable in the years to come."
發生了什麼:“這是一輛很棒的卡車,” 馬斯克在社交媒體平台X上寫道,“我們需要在未來幾年讓它更實惠。”
Tesla started delivering the Cybertruck late in November last year.
特斯拉於去年11月下旬開始交付Cybertruck。
The vehicle pricing starts at $79,990 for the all-wheel drive version and $99,990 for the more premium Cyberbeast version.
全輪驅動版本的起價爲79,990美元,更高級的Cybeast版本的起價爲99,990美元。
A lower-priced rear-wheel drive version of the truck will be available in 2025, as per the company website, starting at $60,990.
根據該公司網站,該卡車的低價後輪驅動版本將於2025年上市,起價爲60,990美元。
However, during Cybertruck's unveil in November 2019, the company said that the entry-level version of the truck would start at just $39,900 and the premium variant at $69,900.
但是,在2019年11月Cybertruck發佈會上,該公司表示,該卡車的入門級版本起價僅爲39,900美元,高級版起價爲69,900美元。
Why It Matters: Tesla is currently ramping up production of the Cybertruck with the aim of delivering 250,000 units, starting in 2025.
爲何重要:特斯拉目前正在提高Cybertruck的產量,目標是從2025年開始交付25萬輛。
According to Kelley Blue Book estimates, Tesla sold 8,755 Cybertrucks in the second quarter in the U.S., and just 2,803 in the first quarter.
根據凱利藍皮書的估計,特斯拉第二季度在美國售出了8,755輛Cybertruck,第一季度僅售出了2,803輛。
Cybertruck production is on track to achieve profitability by the end of the year, Tesla said during its second-quarter earnings.
特斯拉在第二季度業績中表示,Cybertruck的生產有望在今年年底之前實現盈利。
The company also said that it has started testing its prototype Cybertruck produced with in-house "dry" cathode 4680 cells in July. Once it goes into production, the use of in-house dry cathode 4680 cells would enable major cost reduction, it added.
該公司還表示,它已於7月開始測試使用自制 “乾式” 陰極4680電池生產的Cybertruck原型。它補充說,一旦投入生產,使用內部幹陰極4680電池將大幅降低成本。
The launch of production Cybertrucks with dry cathode 4680 cells is expected in Q4, Tesla's Vice President of Vehicle Engineering Lars Moravy said last month.
特斯拉汽車工程副總裁拉斯·莫拉維上個月表示,預計將在第四季度推出帶有幹陰極4680電池的量產Cybertrucks。
