Tesla Cybertruck deliveries begin on November 30

It’s been four years since Tesla’s Cybertruck story began, and recently the first produced example of this vehicle was sold at auction. The company has so far received over 2 million reservations, and now it is officially known when the first copies will reach their owners.

In July, American media reported that they heard a little earlier that Tesla had already informed suppliers to be ready for the start of production of the Cybertruck at the end of August, while delivery would begin by the end of the year. That will be November 30.

Tesla is one of the few companies in the world that has its own production of all components for its vehicles. In the financial report for the third quarter of 2023, it was announced that the annual production capacity is 125,000 units of Cybertruck per year. The company could use a significant portion of the plant’s production capacity, and time will tell if the production volume will increase. Of course, we have to wait for the prices and specifications of the Tesla Cybertruck as these details are not yet available.

Also, a photo of three Cybertrucks loaded onto a Tesla Semi electric truck was published, so it can be guessed that deliveries will be made with these trucks.

Cybertruck will be powered by three electric motors with a total output of 805 hp (600 kW) and 1,033 lb-ft (1,400 Nm), which is enough to push the car to 62 mph in just 3 seconds with a top speed of 130 mph (209 km/h). It has a range of up to 500 miles.

Lowriders are back

Lowriders are customized cars with a lowered body that were banned in California for a long time. They were popular among the Mexican population, becoming part of their culture. However, they were often associated with gangs. Now, three decades later California has again allowed the use of these cars.

After lowriders were banned, people moved away from the past and started to develop some new, “healthier” relationship to this type of car. They tried to change the stereotype of the Mexican population in Southern California, and in the end they succeeded. The city of San Jose was among the first in California to lift the ban, and this is a huge win for the lowrider community.

One example of this type of car is the 1969 Buick Riviera that appeared on last year’s Hot Wheels Legends Tour. The car is characterized by an outstanding yellow color, hydraulic suspension and a low stance, far from what Buick currently offers such as the Buick Envision.
