Tesla has announced the start of deliveries of the Cybertruck electric pickup truck, writes The Financial Times.
The cost of the electric vehicle starts at $60,990 thousand, although in 2019, when the Cybertruck was first shown, it was assumed that the pickup would cost about $40 thousand.
At a special event to mark the start of deliveries of the Cybertruck, Tesla founder Elon Musk said on stage that the new electric pickup truck with its futuristic design will “change the face of the roads.” “I mean, in a parking lot, it doesn’t look like any other car,” he said.

It was originally planned that production of the Cybertruck would begin in 2021, but the deadline was shifted by two years.
Tesla previously claimed that it had received more than 1 million pre-orders for the Cybertruck. The stated estimated capacity of the plant in Texas, where the Cybertruck is produced, is 250 thousand electric pickups per year, but Tesla expects to reach it no earlier than 2025.
The Cybertruck is Tesla’s first foray into the pickup truck market. However, The Financial Times notes, while Tesla was preparing to launch the Cybertruck for two years, electric pickup trucks from other manufacturers, including Ford and General Motors, entered the market.
