Producing the Tesla Cybertruck has always been an uphill battle, but Elon Musk’s automaker is now facing a threat that has nothing to do with panel gaps or stainless steel manufacturing.
According to a dramatic emergency lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas, a major automotive supplier is holding critical Cybertruck manufacturing equipment hostage.
The conflict centers around a manufacturing plant in Troy, Texas, operated by Angstrom.
The facility is responsible for stamping and producing specific, highly specialized parts for the Cybertruck and the Model Y.
As the judge reviews the injunction request, the clock is officially ticking for the Cybertruck assembly line at Giga Texas.
