Tesla CEO Elon Musk has announced that the first deliveries of the highly anticipated Cybertruck will take place during a dedicated handover event later this year. Musk estimated that the event will be held toward “the end of the third quarter,” which likely means the first Cybertruck deliveries will take place around September 2023. This is the most precise delivery date that Tesla has provided so far, and it’s an announcement that fans have been eagerly awaiting since the original Cybertruck prototype made its debut in November 2019.
At the handover event, reservation holders are likely to get an update on the truck’s specifications and pricing. However, it’s important to note that Tesla’s recent handover events – such as those for the Model Y in Berlin and Austin last year – saw only a small number of vehicles being delivered, mostly to Tesla insiders. Therefore, it’s likely that the same will happen at the Tesla Cybertruck handover event, and customers can expect a few months between the event and the start of deliveries.
The Cybertruck was a main talking point in Tesla’s Q1 2023 Update Letter, with the EV maker providing several photos of the pickup truck’s production line at Gigafactory Texas. During the conference call, Elon Musk noted that Tesla is currently preparing the plant for mass production of the Cybertruck. He also commented on the Cybertruck’s production ramp, which won’t be an easy one due to its unique design.
Tesla previously said initial production of the Cybertruck will start this summer, but they have since changed their wording to “later this year” as a precaution in case of any unforeseen delays. With the announcement of the handover event, it looks like Tesla is on track to deliver the first Cybertruck later this year. Fans can look forward to an exciting event and finally get their hands on this revolutionary vehicle.
