Tesla’s Cyber Rodeo took place on Thursday evening to open the new Giga Texas factory just outside Austin, which is now also the global headquarters for the company. Among the kind of theatrics you’d expect from a Tesla event, CEO Elon Musk took to the stage in a black cowboy hat and delivered his presentation to a room full of Tesla fans.

The delivery date for the Cybertruck was originally planned for 2022, but mentions of that were removed from the website earlier this year. Now though it appears that production will start in 2023. The new Giga Texas factory is currently building Model Y, with deliveries “starting now,” according to Tesla but next year it will also start to produce the Cybertrucks. The Tesla Semi truck and new Roadster are also now expected to go into production in 2023.

In terms of timing, with Tesla I’ll believe it when I see it but the company has at least proved it can deliver great products. The robotaxi is perhaps the most interesting of the announcements made and was the only one that was completely new. Though Musk’s The Boring Company has its own design for a self-driving vehicle for use in the tunnels, the robot taxi is likely to be a little wilder. Hopefully, we’ll see at least some concepts of this later this year.
