On November 30th local time, the delivery event for the first batch of Tesla electric pickup trucks Cybertruck was held. On December 1st, related topics surged on hot searches and attracted the attention of netizens.
It is reported that Tesla held a Cybertruck delivery event at 4am Beijing time on December 1st and revealed relevant information about this pure electric pickup truck. The entire delivery event took approximately 25 minutes, making it one of the shortest events in Tesla's history.
The minimum selling price of this car is more than 50% higher than the price proposed by Musk a few years ago. At present, the estimated range of this car can reach 547 kilometers. According to the latest quotation on Tesla's North American official website, depending on the configuration, the current price of this car ranges from $60990 to $99990, which is approximately RMB 440000 to RMB 710000. In terms of delivery, the all wheel drive version and Cyberbear version will be delivered in 2024, and the rear wheel drive version will be delivered in 2025. After delivery, it will be sold in North America, and there is currently no news on the domestic market launch time.
According to Reuters, over one million customers have paid a deposit, which was originally $100 but has now risen to $250. According to third-party organizations, the current order volume of Cybertruck has exceeded 2 million vehicles.

It is worth noting that during the 2019 exhibition event, company designer Franz von Holzhusen threw a metal ball at the window, causing it to rupture. At that time, he turned his back to the shattered car window and smiled, saying that this car could meet everyone later in 2021. After 4 years, in this delivery event, Holtzhausen threw another baseball, and this time the glass was not damaged. Some netizens joked about why metal balls were not used this time.
In addition, Cybertruck has also faced some criticism and questioning. An analyst has suggested that Tesla should completely cancel Cybertruck because it is unlikely to be profitable. Musk described the difficulty of mass production of this car as digging a hole for himself during the third quarter financial report, stating that increasing production will be extremely difficult and may take at least 18 months. He stated that the goal of the Texas factory is to produce 250000 Cybertrucks annually, but this goal will not be achieved until at least 2025.
After the press conference, Tesla's decline in late trading expanded to 3%, ultimately closing at 1.66% and falling 2.02% after the market.
