The Cybertruck made its debut almost four years ago, and after facing delays, it's finally nearing its slated delivery date, which was originally set for late 2020. Tesla has been diligently refining the pickup's dimensions, features, and functions since its unveiling, responding to the intense scrutiny from both fans and industry experts.

During the recent Tesla Q2 2023 Earnings Call, the automaker provided an update on the Cybertruck's status, stating, "We are now testing Cybertruck vehicles around the world for final certification and validation." This commitment to thorough testing is reflected in the footage leaked over the weekend, showcasing manufacturing lines for the all-electric pickup at Gigafactory Texas.
Notably, Tesla's first Cybertruck units arrived in New Zealand this past June, where they were put through their paces at the Southern Hemisphere Proving Grounds (SHPG) in Wanaka, located on the country's South Island. This site has hosted numerous Tesla vehicles in the past for winter performance assessments, making it an ideal location for testing the Cybertruck's capabilities.
Despite the progress made, the 1.9 million reservation holders are eagerly awaiting essential details like pricing and available configurations. Tesla remains committed to delivering the first Cybertruck units by year's end, as the company strives to ensure that the vehicle lives up to the high expectations set by its innovative design and features. As the Cybertruck continues to prove itself in the harsh winter landscapes of New Zealand, excitement and anticipation continue to build among Tesla enthusiasts worldwide.
