We recently reported that Tesla may begin large-scale production of the Cybertruck toward the end of 2023, though we had the impression that perhaps the massive electric pickup truck would arrive at least slightly sooner. Tesla is already tooling the factory for the Cybertruck, and now it's hiring for several new job positions specific to the electric truck.

Not so long ago, it still seemed like the Tesla Cybertruck would never make it to market. Tesla pushed it back multiple times, it just seemed too huge and ridiculous to really make its way onto public roads, and there still hasn't been an official unveiling of the final product with pricing. 

That said, Tesla's recent Q3 2022 update showed that the Cybertruck is already in the tooling phase at Giga Texas. There have also been a few Cybertrucks on-site at the new factory, though onlookers and drone photographers admit that they may just be bodies.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has all but promised that the mammoth EV is set to arrive next year, which, at this point, is just around the corner. However, recent reports suggest that it could be late in the year before mass production begins. This could mean that Tesla will begin producing some pickups in small volume much sooner, followed by a slow and calculated ramp.
