Tesla builds its first Cybertruck four years after unveiling prototypeTesla finally built its first Cybertruck, the company tweeted Saturday, two years behind schedule. The electric car company tweeted an image of workers in hard hats surrounding the sleek Cybertruck, which it said was built at its Gigafactory near Austin, Texas. Tesla revealed the prototype for the futuristic Cybertruck in 2019, saying production would begin in late 2021. Tesla CEO Elon Musk said that the company couldn’t yet debut long-promised new vehicles, such as the Cybertruck pickup, due to supply chain issues. Cybertruck allows Tesla to compete in the lucrative electric pickup market, which includes Rivian’s R1T, the Ford F-150 Lightning and the GMC Hummer EV pickup.
