TechCrunch reports:

Tesla over the weekend said its first much anticipated Cybertruck came off the electric vehicle maker’s production line in Texas. The debut of the long-delayed, futuristic-looking pickup truck comes in the lead up to Tesla’s second-quarter 2023 earnings call.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk first introduced the Cybertruck in 2019, but vehicle production has repeatedly been delayed. The truck was initially scheduled for production and delivery in 2021, but Tesla has pushed back the timing since then, citing shortages in sourcing components.

As of November 2022, the Cybertruck had more than 1.5 million reservations, according to a report from Electrek. Tesla customers have been able to put down a $100 refundable deposit to preorder since 2019.
