American manufacturer will not force the assembly of pickups at first. This may explain the small batch of Kuka robots. Elon Musk says Tesla will only be able to focus on Cybertruck production once the Model Y plant reaches design capacity. Right now, the Austin-based firm is only producing 3,000 cars a week, with a target of 5,000 units.
