Billionaire Elon Musk on Tuesday November 27, announced that the first batch of cybertrucks will be delivered to respective buyers starting this Thursday.
The statement brought an end to a four year wait since the launch.
“Cybertruck deliveries start on Thursday,” Musk wrote on X.
The cybertrucks are made by Tesla, a company owned by Musk.
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.
The first cybertrucks are expected mainly to be used in developed countries with imoroved infrastructure.
It not clear how many cybertrucks will be delivered on Thursday November 29, but it has been touted to be a gamechanging move in the autosector.
The timely release is expected to rival other companies which are shifting to electric powered vehicles including Nissan which set aside billions to finance the manufacturing process.
