Tesla is scheduled to deliver its first batch of Cybertrucks to customers this week, marking four years since CEO Elon Musk first introduced the steel-clad, electric vehicle to the automotive world.
Billed by Musk as a bullet-proof, high-performance vehicle, Tesla began taking pre-orders for the Cybertruck in 2019 with the promise to start production in 2021. The pandemic delayed those plans but Tesla eventually finished its first Cybertrucks in July.
The Cybertruck arrives at a time when automakers like Ford, General Motors and Toyota are trying to drive down the price of their electric vehicles to appeal to a wider audience. To further entice car shoppers, automakers have banned together to expand the number of EV charging stations across the U.S.
