The event is expected to be livestreamed from Gigafactory Texas.
The Tesla Cybertruck first delivery event is scheduled for 1 p.m. CT Nov. 30 at Gigafactory Texas, Tesla Investor Relations (IR) Head Martin Viecha said.
“The Cybertruck delivery event starts at around 1 p.m. CT on Thursday, in case someone’s unsure. I’ve noticed that few people thought it’s an evening event,” Viecha clarified on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter.
Expectations are high that Tesla will livestream the event, though Viecha did not provide information about when it will go live.
The update surprised some electric vehicle advocates on social media, considering Tesla has typically held its vehicles’ first delivery events in the U.S. at night.
Holding the Cybetruck’s first deliveries in the afternoon means EV enthusiasts from European countries would be able to view the event at around 8 p.m. local time. However, in countries such as Australia---a large market for pickup trucks---the Cybertruck’s first delivery event would be starting very early at 6 a.m. local time.
The excitement surrounding the Cybertruck’s first deliveries is notable. Over the weekend, social media posts indicated the Cybertruck’s display units in select Tesla stores are attracting a lot of attention from visitors.
