Tesla has finally delivered its first Cybertruck, the company's first new model since introducing the Model Y more than three years ago. The Cybertruck is an electric pickup truck made of stainless steel alloy that puts Tesla head-to-head against electric car rivals Rivian and Ford.
Tesla held a delivery event in Austin, Texas, which was broadcast live. The event invited some of Tesla's loyal fans and pre-orderers who had the honor of being the first owners of the Cybertruck. Tesla's CEO, Elon Musk, was also reportedly present at the event and handed over the car keys to customers.
The Cybertruck's price starts at £50,000, while the top-of-the-line 'CyberBeast' has a price tag of £80,000, which is £3 higher than Musk's first announcement in 2019The £20,000 ** is quite a bit higher. Musk warned last month that it would take some time for Tesla to make money on the car.
The production of the Cybertruck has been facing various problems, including the slowdown of the ** chain due to the pandemic. Tesla originally planned to start production of the Cybertruck this summer, but later postponed it until next spring. In addition, the Cybertruck's exterior and design have also sparked a lot of controversy, with some arguing that it is too avant-garde and offbeat to fit the aesthetics of traditional pickups.
* Jessica Caldwell, an analyst at automotive industry expert EDMUNDS, said the launch was a "real test" for Tesla. "Tesla has to prove that the Cybertruck is not just a concept car, but a utility vehicle that can meet the needs of the pickup truck market," she said. Pickup truck buyers have high expectations for the performance, functionality, and appearance of their vehicles, and Tesla can't rely on Musk's personal charm alone to succeed in this space. ”
