This paper presents an update on the construction, testing, and commissioning of the SDSS-V Local Volume Mapper (LVM) telescope system. LVM is one of three surveys that form the fifth generation of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, and it will employ a coordinated network of four, 16-cm telescopes feeding three fiber spectrographs at the Las Campanas Observatory. The goal is to spectrally map approximately 2500 square degrees of the Galactic plane with 37” spatial resolution and R~4000 spectral resolution over the wavelength range 360-980 nm. LVM will also target the Magellanic Clouds and other Local Group galaxies. Each of the four LVM telescopes consists of a two-mirror siderostat in alt-alt configuration feeding an optical breadboard. This produces a fixed, stable focal plane for the fiber-based Integral Field Unit (IFU). One telescope hosts the science IFU, while two others observe adjacent fields to calibrate geocoronal emission. The fourth telescope makes rapid observations of bright stars to compensate telluric absorption. The entrance slits of the spectrographs intersperse the fibers from all three types of telescope, producing truly simultaneous science and calibration exposures. We summarize the final design of the telescope system and report on its construction, alignment and testing in the laboratory. We also describe our deployment plan for commissioning at LCO, anticipated for late 2022.
