Tesla completes first Cybertruck after years of delaysBy Eric Revell, Fox Business

Tesla’s first Cybertruck rolled off the electric vehicle maker’s assembly line in Austin, Texas, after production had been delayed for two years.
Tesla founder and CEO Elon Musk first announced the futuristic-looking electric pickup truck in 2019 at an event that went viral when the vehicle’s designer cracked the truck’s purportedly unbreakable “armor glass” windows during a demonstration.
In the years since the Cybertruck’s unveiling, Tesla has delayed the timing of mass production on several occasions.
Last year, Musk cited supply chain shortages affecting the sourcing of components when Cybertruck production was pushed back into 2023.
During a Tesla shareholder meeting in May, Musk said that the company is aiming to produce about 250,000 Cybertrucks a year, depending on demand.
