Not Sent To Consumers, Tesla Cybertruck Will Even Be Auctioned At The Petersen Museum

JAKARTA - Time and again Tesla CEO Elon Musk promises that this year the production and distribution of Tesla Cybettruck will begin soon. This means that the wait for many people who have ordered since 2019 will end soon.

Meanwhile, Tesla's electric car sales slumped from July to September after the company suspended production in several factories to upgrade assembly lines, Autonews reported, October 3.

The latest news, among many people enthusiastically awaits the arrival of the Tesla Cybertruck, a Tesla Cybertruck unit will soon be auctioned off at an event to be hosted by the famous automotive museum, the Petersen Museum, which is in Los Angeles, United States.

Quoted from the Teslarati page, Thursday, October 5, this news was announced by one of Tesla's lovers, where in a post on the Twitter page, he said that the Cybertruck 2024 will be one of the vehicles to be auctioned at the gala event.

"Be the first to have a Tesla Cybertruck! This is for a low-VIN Cybettruck truck. A cybertruck is made with an outer shell created for the highest endurance and passenger protection," the tweet reads.

It is important to note that the electric pickup to be auctioned is not the first model to exit the Gigestla plant in Texas, United States. The Petersen Museum ensures that the Tesla Cybertruck to be auctioned is a model with a 2024 production framework code that has a low serial number.

This means that the winner of the auction will not get the first model from the Tesla Cybertruck. Even so, it is estimated that this electric pickup will have a high selling value considering the demand continues to increase. Currently, the number of Cybertruck orders has reached 1.9 million units.

With this large number of orders, Tesla has managed to raise fresh funds of US$194 million or equivalent to Rp2.9 trillion from the payment of orders made by many people.
