In a conference call following the release of the results, CEO Elon Musk made new comments announcing that Tesla plans to hold a “handover event,” which generally means the first deliveries of a new car, toward “the end of the third quarter.”
This would put the first Tesla Cybertruck deliveries around September 2023. It’s the most precise timing of Cybertruck deliveries that Tesla has released to date.
Based on the launch of Tesla’s most recent models, especially the Model Y, we should expect Tesla to only deliver a few Cybertrucks during the delivery event, likely only to Tesla insiders, and we can expect months between the event and the start of deliveries to customers.
Interestingly, Musk also said that Cybertruck reservation holders should expect to get an update on specs and pricing at that event at the end of Q3.
In previous comments, Musk indicated that the Cybertruck would be available in a new top-of-the-line variant with quad motors rather than the tri-motor powertrain originally announced.
UC San Diego is pushing ahead with plans to build dorms that will collectively hold 3,310 students to deal with the school’s runaway growth and a critical housing shortage.
The expansion will increase the university’s housing capacity to 22,260 — a figure larger than the number of people living in such communities as Solana Beach and Scripps Ranch.
The campus got a lift from the University of California Board of Regents, which this week gave the school permission to move forward with two huge projects, Pepper Canyon West and Thurgood Marshall College Undergraduate Student Housing.
Pepper Canyon will house 1,310 transfer and upper-diversion undergraduate students near the Blue Line trolley station that recently opened on campus, a few minutes walk from Geisel Library.
The $350 million project also will feature retail space.
