Musk is expecting to sell between 250,000 to 500,000 units per year, depending on the demand.

Nearly four years have passed since the reveal of theTesla Cybertruck, when the infamous "smashed windows"incident happened. Finally, after two years of delay, Tesla has officially rolled out the first production model of the all-electric pickup truck at its factory in Texas.

The news was shared by Tesla on its Twitter account with the caption, "First Cybertruck built at Giga Texas!" Aside from that, the EV marker didn't reveal much information, such as the final specifications and pricing. We know that Musk promised last year that交付将开始in mid-2023.

During the long absence from the spotlight, the all-electric pickup market has seen new contenders, including theFord F-150 Lightningand GMC Hummer EV. Although, thelatter is still facing supply woesdue to a shortage of crucial components such as microchipsamid strong demands.

EV startup company Rivian has also joined the fray with theR1T. According to the JD Power 2023 US Electric Vehicle Experience (EVX)Ownership Study, the Rivian R1T has bested the likes of theTesla Model 3and Model Y regarding ownership satisfaction in the premium EV segment.

All the saidEV trucks will gain accessto Tesla's 12,000 Superchargers in the US and Canada by 2024. The models are expected to adopt Tesla's North American Charging Standard (NACS) connectora year later. Another brand jumping on theNACS bandwagon is Volvo, along with its performance brand, Polestar.

However, Musk is optimistic about the Cybertruck, saying the vehicle could sell between 250,000 and 500,000 units per year, depending on the demand.Reports also suggestthat the truck has over 1.5 million pre-orders. Some Analysts, however, think the model may turn out to be alow-volume sellerdespite the long pre-order list.

As such, it would be interesting to see how the ambitious-looking Cybertruck will make up for lost time.
