In a recent development, Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, unveiled an image of what he terms a “production candidate” for the Tesla Cybertruck. Musk asserted that he personally put the vehicle to the test earlier today and hailed it as the company’s “best product ever.”
This revelation follows Tesla’s announcement last month that they had successfully “constructed the inaugural Cybertruck at Gigafactory Texas.” This proclamation took many by surprise, as earlier reports from Electrek indicated that Tesla had informed suppliers to anticipate the availability of Cybertruck release candidates towards the end of August, with production slated for early October.
Tesla promptly clarified the situation by confirming the initiation of production for the aforementioned “production candidate” units of the Cybertruck. These units are believed to represent the final iteration of the electric pickup truck that has been spotted extensively across various locations in the United States over the past few weeks.

Elon Musk, in a recent update, shared an image showcasing one of these “production candidate Cybertrucks” and also revealed that he had taken one for a drive at the Giga Texas facility. While he confidently asserted that he considers this creation to be Tesla’s “best product ever,” he refrained from delving further into specifics about the vehicle’s attributes.
The image released by Musk depicts a Cybertruck exhibiting a remarkable level of fit and finish. Such attention to detail is to be expected, particularly when it comes to a vehicle that the CEO himself has chosen to showcase publicly.
As this news circulates, excitement mounts within the Tesla community, with hopes that the company will adhere to its initially stated timeline of hosting a delivery event by the culmination of the third quarter.
Despite the imminent commencement of deliveries, a plethora of details about the Cybertruck remain veiled in secrecy. Tesla is anticipated to reserve the release of final specifications and pricing until the delivery event takes place, leaving enthusiasts and observers eagerly awaiting the full picture.
