It’s been a long time coming, but Tesla is about to deliver the Cybertruck to its first customers.

Unveiled in 2019, the unique-looking electric pickup will be presented to the first owners at a special event at Tesla’s Cybertruck Gigafactory in Austin, Texas, on Thursday, November 30.

As the vehicle isn’t expected to go into mass production for a couple of years, only a small number of the Cybertrucks are expected to be handed to owners at Thursday’s event. A number of recent reports suggested that as few as 10 will be delivered to lucky owners.

In the run-up to launch and in a bid to further increase the hype around the vehicle, Tesla has been putting the Cybertruck on public display at a number of venues across the U.S., including in New York City and San Diego.

Tesla has reportedly taken around 2 million preorders for the Cybertruck, with customers only required to put down a refundable $100 deposit to get in line.

There’s still stuff to learn about the Cybertruck, too, like how much it’ll cost. Tesla originally said that three variants of the pickup would be priced between $39,000 and $69,000, but in October 20201 it removed pricing details from its website. The expectation is that the final price tags will be higher than those originally advertised.

How to watch

Tesla’s highly anticipated delivery event takes place at its Gigafactory in Austin, Texas, on Thursday, November 30.

In a message posted on social media this week, Tesla said the event will start at 2 p.m. CT, which is 3 p.m. ET and noon PT.

Tesla will live-stream the event on its website, and on X, too.

What to expect

If Tesla’s previous delivery events are anything to go by, it should be a glitzy affair, with Tesla chief Elon Musk leading the proceedings. Expect Musk to say a few words before handing over the first Cybertrucks to expectant customers, some of whom may have been waiting as long as four years for this day.

Tesla to begin production on new, more affordable models
Tesla Model 3

With competition increasing from Chinese and other automakers, Tesla boss Elon Musk revealed on Tuesday that his company is planning to begin production of new, more affordable models in “early 2025, if not late this year.” Notably, that's earlier than the previously stated date of late 2025, though whether Musk actually succeeds in meeting the earlier production time frame is another question entirely.

The news came as Tesla released its latest quarterly figures. Revenue for the electric vehicle maker came in at $21.3 billion, down from the $23.3 billion it reported for the same three-month period a year earlier and also down from the $25.2 billion reported in the previous quarter. Profit reached $1.1 billion, marking a 55% fall compared to the same period a year ago.

Tesla’s fix for faulty Cybertruck pedal is simpler than you might think

Less than five months after handing over the first Cybertrucks to customers, Tesla has had to recall the electric pickup to fix an issue with the accelerator.

In a notice issued on Friday, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said that the recall impacts Cybertruck vehicles manufactured from November 13, 2023, to April 4, 2024. This suggests that all -- or almost all -- of the 3,878 Cybertrucks being recalled are those that have been manufactured to date.
