MOSCOW (Sputnik) – The Tesla Cybertruck is a full-size, battery-electric pickup truck capable of accelerating from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 2.9 seconds. Its release was first announced for 2019, but has been delayed several times.
US billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk announced on Wednesday that his company Tesla's electric trucks, Cybertrucks, are on their way to stores in North America 4 years after the company prototype showcased its first prototype.

"Cybertrucks are on their way to Tesla stores in North America!" Musk said on X, formerly known as Twitter.

Despite the announcement, Cybertrucks are still not available neither for purchase nor for a demo drive on Tesla's website, but for pre-orders only.

Tesla confirmed in October that the first deliveries of Cybertrucks were scheduled for November 30 and that their production would begin by the end of 2023. The company also said about 125,000 Cybertrucks per year would be produced at a gigafactory in Texas.
The Tesla Cybertruck is a battery electric full-size pickup truck, built with "an exterior shell made for ultimate durability and passenger protection" and featuring "a nearly impenetrable exoskeleton" and "armor glass," according to Tesla. The truck is capable of accelerating from 0-60 miles per hour in 2.9 seconds and traveling for up to 500 miles.
The release of the truck, first announced in 2019, has been postponed several times. It was first scheduled to be available for purchase in 2021, but then Tesla postponed sales to 2022 and 2023.
