As Elon Musk led Tesla Cybertruck delayed, here is what rivals and drivers did

(Bloomberg Opinion) — If the topic is a new Tesla model, then the first item on the agenda is how long it will be delayed. The polyhedral wonder that is the Cybertruck continues this grand tradition. While traditions hold true, however, the world around them changes.

The Cybertruck was first unveiled at that impromptu window-smashing event in late 2019, scheduled to be available later this year, and is now reportedly delayed until late 2022, with high-volume production not happening until a year after that. This follows hot on the heels of a tweet from CEO Elon Musk saying Tesla Inc.’s revamped Roadster sportscar should ship in 2023 provided 2022 goes easy on him.
