The documents lodged with the local "council" stated production to start 1 May 2021.
I think this is in one of the threads here?

My guess is that'll be for Model Y first, insane demand and validated profit margin. CT will be next, hopefully ahead of Tesla Semi...

Not a guess, you are dead on. Its been explicitly said Model Y general assembly will be first from Texas factory. Cybertruck to follow. It seems like we will start seeing production EOY 2021 with first CT deliveries in late 2021/early2022. Probably a nice flow of model Y's and 4680's by EOY 2021.

A flow of 4680's sounds nice, but a flood would be much better!

That works for me. It took Bolt owners a while to see what they got themselves into. If those 4680s are going to be a permanent part of CT, I would want to see a ton of Model Ys rolling around with them first. I want my CT as soon as possible but not too eager to be the first one to blow up

For reference, the 4680s will be inside a battery pack, and albeit that battery pack will be a structural part of the CT, the pack will be removable from the CT.

I had no idea. That puts my mind at ease a bit.

Fewer Bolts caught fire than many (most?) other non-recalled ICE car models.

But we don’t need a paint shop.

But they have the kinks worked out of that production line.

the "or so" typically acounts for double the preceding time span in the statement. expect to wait another couple months for that update...

One of the few benefits of being old..... learned patience. (well, that and time goes by faster).

If there's no update on Cybertruck in a week or so, this will be my first Christmas when I did not have Cybertruck news in the past month or so. It'll set me in a sad mood for this Christmas...
