Space Camper’s founder said designing the camper has been the easy part, at least when compared to some of the unpredictability related to the Cybertruck release.

Since Musk first announced the Cybertruck, the company has delayed its release at least seven times, including two years of delays. While Wilkerson said Space Campers has a contact at Tesla, the EV maker has not officially shared any specs with the company.

“It’s a little bit of this game of up and down with all the Cybertruck news,” Wilkerson said. “We want to have all our ducks in a row, but we’re waiting to turn the ramp up back on until Cybertruck is definite.”

A spokesperson for Space Campers told Insider the company anticipates it will ramp up production in the second quarter of 2024.

Space Campers also faces some uncertainty with getting access to the Cybertruck once it’s released. Over 1.5 million people have put down a $100 reservation fee for the Tesla truck as of last year, according to Electrek. And even people who ordered the truck within an hour of Musk’s first announcement of the EV have told Insider they have tens of thousands of people in front of them, at least according to an online queue estimator.

Wilkerson said the company is not one of the early reservation holders, but has befriended some people who have access.

For his part, Musk has said the ramp up in Cybertruck deliveries might be slow.

During Tesla’s earnings call last month, the CEO said it will require a “staggering” amount of work to scale production of the vehicle due to its “newness.” The billionaire said the company hopes to produce about a quarter million Cybertrucks per year — but likely not until 2025.
