I think it is just a business decision to delay the production of cybertruck. Plus I think they have some production issues.
Cybertruck takes up a significant amount of batteries. Even with different trims he had under priced it. There is not way he can build it for that price and not have a loss. Plus raising prices will create a firestorm. Look at what happened to Rivian when they tried to raise prices on their depose holders. Elon has probably displaced Bezos as the most hated / disliked person.
My Y cost $49K in 2020. It now costs $62K. The exact same model. And they have even taken away things from it too, like the free charger. So why would a businessman not try and make more Y's with a 13K profit and using lesser amount of batteries than try and produce a cybertruck at a loss. I wouldn't.
As long as there is more and more demand for Model 3 and Y that he cannot fulfill, I don't see him in any great rush to produce the Cybertruck. Unless he gets a chance to reprice it even for original deposit holders.
