A man has flown a drone into a Tesla Gigafactory and revealed a reported $40,000,000 worth of Cybertrucks.

The clip, which has been shared by Brad Sloan on YouTube, reveals hundreds of the vehicles outside the factory, with SupercarBlondie claiming the footage reveals a whopping $40,000.000 worth of vehicles.

It certainly seems as though Cybertruck production has ramped up even further, after the cars were subject to some delays when they were first announced.

Production for the Cybertruck was originally planned to commence in late 2021, before it was later pushed back to sometime in 2022.

Tesla owner and founder Elon Musk pushed the roadmap further into 2023, with the founder confirming in January that the Cybertruck won't enter full volume production until sometime this year.

Musk has always maintained that the Cybertruck's delay was down to Tesla trying to satisfy the demand for its popular Model 3 and Model Y.

But it certainly seems like there's plenty in production right now, after hundreds of the trucks were spotted in the Texas factory.

"Had a rain delay this morning so late shooting footage," said Sloan on YouTube. "Plenty of car carriers loading up Tesla vehicles today. Lots of casting stacking up on the east side. South extension busy as ever."

Meanwhile, another drone pilot, Joe Tegtmeyer, shared footage from Wednesday (28 August) showing more Cybertrucks perfectly lined up.

"More @Cybertruck formations at Giga Texas this morning... looks like they are ready for battle!" He wrote.

People were quick to comment on the footage, with one person writing: "Indeed, the gigafactory is scaling up operations, as it appears to me. What is the rate per day or per week?"

While another said: "Are they shipping these out at the same rate or is lot inventory growing?"

And a third added: "Do you keep track of how many you’ve seen in the lots since the launch? Any idea what percentage have been beasts? Looking at your pictures it seems like these lots are increasingly more full with inventory. Does that mean more people are ordering?"

Meanwhile, a fourth said: "Whoever is in charge of lining these Cybertrucks up is killin it!! Thank you for the amazing pics!"

Since the vehicle hit the market in November 2023, it's been subject to a number of complaints by drivers.

One owner even accused Tesla of 'rushing out' Cybertrucks after claiming they're malfunctioning at an 'astonishing rate'.

Earlier this year, in a thread titled “Worst delivery in my life (truck died in 5 minutes),” a Californian based owner claimed they had problems with the Cybertruck almost instantly after buying it.

"[I] made it 1 mile down road, started getting steering error, flashing red screen, pulled off side of highway now the truck is dead and I’m waiting for a tow truck," they wrote.

The owner continued: "Dealer couldn’t do anything for me. It was great for 5 minutes.. tried everything, restarting, screen is stuck black and keeps beeping. Tesla really rushed these trucks out, what a nightmare."
