Update: Tesla has officially confirmed that the event will start at 2pm CT, adjusting the previously communicated time of 1pm CT by the company’s investor relations head Martin Viecha.
Tesla is set to commence deliveries of the highly-anticipated Cybertruck on November 30th, with the delivery event scheduled for the early afternoon.
While the electric car maker has released relatively few details about the event to the public, Tesla took to X, formerly Twitter, to confirm the event will start at 2 p.m. Central Time (3 p.m. ET / 12 pm. PT) on Thursday at the company’s Gigafactory in Texas. While this is in the middle of the workday for most people, that won’t be an issue for Tesla given how few Cybertrucks will be delivered at the event.
In fact, Tesla product design director Javier Verdura revealed last week that just 10 Cybertrucks will be delivered at the event and they will all be handed over to employees. So while Tesla refers to this as a delivery event, that’s not entirely true as apparently no Cybertrucks will be handed over to regular, paying customers.
This fact probably explains why Tesla has been able to announce so few technical specifications about the Cybertruck, leaving all those who have placed a pre-order scratching their heads as to what they have actually signed up for.

When Tesla first presented the Cybertruck back in late 2019, it said that the range would kick off at $39,900, have a mid-range variant priced at $49,900, and be topped out by a tri-motor version available from $69,900. Recent documents sourced from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) indicate that the base model with its single electric motor will no longer be offered, leaving just a two-motor version and a three-motor version. This will no doubt limit the appeal of the Cybertruck to more wealthy shoppers and could lead many reservation holders to cancel their pre-orders.
In preparation for the event, Tesla looks to have gathered more than two dozen Cybertruck prototypes at its factory.
