<p id="zSxGJM">Four years after its debut, the Tesla Cybertruck has finally reached its first batch of customers. The truck was delivered to about a dozen people <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2023/11/30/23980053/tesla-cybertruck-delivery-event-elon-musk-live">during a lavish event at the company’s headquarters in Austin, Texas</a>, at which Elon Musk predicted the truck would usher in a new, more exciting future.</p>
<p id="3Rwg2L">The company also provided updated details about the pricing, range, and features for the truck, much of which has changed significantly from the originally announced numbers. The rear-wheel drive version of the electric truck will start at $60,990 — up from the original price of $39,900 in 2019 — and will get 250 miles of range on a full charge. That version won’t be available until 2025. </p>

<p id="pqSGXf">Tesla is <a href="https://twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1ZkKzjaBdmLKv">about to deliver the first Cybertrucks</a> to buyers at an event on Thursday, November 30th, starting around 3PM ET / 2PM CT / 12PM PT in Austin, Texas.</p>
<p id="T9slap">The electric pickup truck, with a jarringly polygonal design, <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2019/11/22/20976539/tesla-cybertruck-test-drive-electric-truck-pickup-video-features-price-elon-musk">was first revealed</a> in November 2019 by Tesla CEO Elon Musk. The Cybertruck’s unique design <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2023/11/29/23979850/tesla-cybertruck-delivery-design-production-problems-delay">helped it make its mark</a>, and many people immediately <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2019/11/24/20980141/tesla-cybertruck-preorder-deposit-elon-musk">plunked down $100</a> to hold a place in line to get one. Even the botched “armor glass” demonstration, in which Tesla’s lead designer smashed the driver’s side window with a metal ball, did little to deter interest.</p>
<p id="DJD1CP">Little did the reservation holders know that <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2022/1/26/22903314/q4-2021-tesla-cybertruck-delayed-until-2023-elon-musk-earnings-call">key</a> <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2022/7/20/23272045/tesla-cybertruck-delivery-middle-next-year-q2-earnings">Cybertruck</a> <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2022/11/1/23434342/tesla-cybertruck-to-enter-mass-production-at-the-end-of-2023">targets</a> <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2023/1/25/23571806/tesla-cybertruck-volume-production-delay-2024-q4-2022">would</a> <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2023/4/19/23690346/elon-musk-tesla-cybertruck-delivery-event-q3-2023">keep</a> <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2023/10/2/23899439/tesla-cybertruck-q3-delivery-event-target-miss">shifting</a> well after Musk’s original delivery goal of late 2021.

<p>The long-delayed electric truck has finally arrived — sort of. Ten trucks are slated for delivery, but Tesla’s problems extend far beyond this first batch. </p>

<p id="L1zin7">After being <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2022/10/27/23426752/tesla-cyberquad-toy-atv-recall-radio-flyer">recalled last year</a> for not meeting product safety standards, Tesla’s $1,900 Cyberquad for Kids is once again available to purchase <a href="https://shop.tesla.com/product/cyberquad-for-kids">on the Tesla webstore in the US</a>. The latest release of the Cybertruck-inspired ride-on toy — identified as Model 915 — is an updated version of the <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2021/12/2/22813719/tesla-cyberquad-for-kids-pricing-features-availability">Model 914 Cyberquad for Kids</a> that launched back in December 2021. Orders for the Model 915 are expected to begin shipping in late November.</p>
<p id="nCvJqN">Like the Model 914, the new Model 915 Cyberquad for Kids was jointly created by Tesla and popular children’s toy maker Radio Flyer, best known as the makers of the Little Red Wagon. The battery-powered Cyberquad for Kids has a 500W motor with a top speed of 10 mph (that parents can switch to 5 mph) and a max range...</p>
