Usually they do it by how many made per week. Recently they have been trying to start production at a capacity of 1000 per week.

Honestly no one knows any of that info yet. The Cyber-truck is going to be radically different in terms of manufacturing, most signs point to it being easier to produce AKA quicker. The cyber-truck is breaking the rules, taking out one of the most difficult aspects, paint.
Don’t underestimate the savings from not having to do stamping and panel alignment. Cutting, folding, and welding for the entire body? That should be super fast in comparison, with many fewer errors. If they also continue their trend in simplifying the front and rear end castings it will only be that much simpler, faster, and less error prone.

I didn’t think Elon was going to ship the CT Out of the country until he has a smaller version.

yes exactly. That's something that hasn't been 100% confirmed but a lot has been said that would seriously suggest that the Cybertruck that is under production will be for North America only.

I definitely see a market for the Cybertruck overseas, especially when it grows in popularity in North America. When this happens, it is likely that it will have a reduction in size and I think it's likely that instead of shipping these oversears, they will have another factory built to produce them.

Tesla has big ambitions when it comes to the transportation market. In the future they want to produce more cars per year than any other manufacturer has ever done. So I think that we will probably see another factory to produce the smaller pickups overseas.

Look for a UK factory if Tesla decides to produce a Cybervan with a slightly reduced footprint than the CT. Also don’t forget that the Tesla Semi will also be entering full production mode, possibly to start in Sparks, NV and then ? Oklahoma if not Austin too.

Well we do know for sure it will be CT and Model Y production. In-fact Elon has said general assembly of the model Y will be first.
For making the Y, the duplicate machinery is probably right now at the ready to simply move in. For making the CT, the machinery has to be designed, made, and tested -- both stand-alone and in production sequence. Maybe that's all ready to move in too, but I doubt it. In fact, maybe part of the odd-shaped Texas plant will be not for truck production but to make all the machinery.

Do you think they will use the nearest port for overseas vehicles, and where is that port.
Rail lines are about 5 miles off. The ocean's full of car carriers mainly from German, Japan, and Korea, heading west. Do they go the other way empty? And an airport (with a 12k' runway that will take the biggest cargo craft) is 5 miles north, for those willing to pay the freight.

Its Just general Assembly for the Y.. not full on production. This is what they are doing in a sprung structure right now at Fremont. They dont even need the factory for that lol.. just some concrete and power if they wanted.

Otherwsie i dont understand what your response has to do with my post. I Just said Elon has stated model Y production will also be at the Texas Factory and it will start first.
