CTOnews.com, May 25 (Xinhua) Tesla's long-awaited Cybertruck electric pickup truck is scheduled to be officially launched at the end of this year, but CEO Elon Musk revealed on Twitter that it is not easy to design and manufacture the electric pickup.

In response to a video showing the Cybertruck prototype at the superfactory in Austin, Tesla, Mr Musk said they were trying to put the pickup into production, adding that it was a product that was difficult to design and harder to produce, but "it's going to be great".

Mr Musk had previously said he would use the Cybertruck as his daily driving vehicle and took the stage in what appeared to be the latest prototype Cybertruck at the groundbreaking ceremony of Tesla's future lithium refinery. The car is equipped with an unprecedented roof frame and can also be used as a tool rack.

In addition, at the annual shareholders' meeting, Mr Musk said he expected Cybertruck to sell 250000 to 500000 vehicles a year after full production, given that Ford, the US pickup sales leader, sold more than 650000 F-Series trucks last year, including nearly 16000 all-electric FMU150 Lightning vehicles, which is an ambitious target.

When Cybertruck was launched in 2019, prices started at around $40,000 (CTOnews.com Note: currently about 282000 yuan), but the company has removed all relevant information, including price and technical details, from its website. Musk's latest statement seems to suggest that the price of the car will rise, but officials have not yet confirmed it.
