Elon Musk has alerted investors in an earnings call that Tesla’s long-delayed Cybertruck won’t be cash flow positive for years.

The electric auto manufacturer announced the truck in 2019 and has slated it for a November 30 release.

Musk, Tesla’s CEO, suggested that investors manage their expectations for Cybertruck’s launch during the fourth quarter — especially after troubling third quarter reports.

The Tesla founder’s net worth took a $24billion hit during quarter three due to his car company’s underwhelming sales.

Tesla shares also dropped 9 percent Thursday, according to CNBC.

However, Musk remains the world’s richest person with an estimated net worth of $231billion, Forbes reports.

Cybertruck demand remains high amongst the public, with over one million reservations, but the model’s production scaling challenges are sparking anxiety within the company.

Musk said: “We dug our own grave with the Cybertruck.

“Cybertruck’s one of those special products that comes along only once in a long while.

“And special products that come along once in a long while are just incredibly difficult to bring to market to reach volume, to be prosperous,” The Verge reports.
