The Electrify Expo, culminating its U.S. tour with the Austin festival, is a prominent seven-event electric vehicle (EV) conference. Commencing on Friday and concluding on Sunday, the EV meetup aligns seamlessly with the Cybertruck’s appearance, given its production proximity at Tesla’s Gigafactory Texas.
This surprise showing precedes Tesla’s highly anticipated Cybertruck delivery event later this month. Martin Viecha, Tesla’s Head of Investor Relations, confirmed on Friday that the attendee list had been finalized following an invitation raffle. The recipients of these invitations remain undisclosed at the time of this writing, heightening the anticipation for the Gigafactory Texas event.
The Cybertruck had previously made an appearance at the Circuit of the Americas last month during the Formula 1 U.S. Grand Prix, where Tesla CEO Elon Musk and his son X Ć A-12 were spotted attending the event.
