Tesla has begun delivering its Cybertruck in Mexico, marking it as the first country outside the U.S. to receive the vehicle. The deliveries were announced via social media, with plans to start deliveries in Canada later this year. The Cybertruck's base model starts at 2,199,900 Mexican pesos (approximately $128,258.19). Tesla aims to produce 250,000 units annually starting in 2025, despite its high price point.
EV giant Tesla Inc TSLA commenced deliveries of its Cybertruck in Mexico on Wednesday, making it the first country outside the U.S. where the stainless steel truck is delivered.
What Happened: Tesla took to social media platform X to share pictures from the first Cybertruck deliveries in the U.S.-neighbouring country.

Tesla started delivering the Cybertruck— its latest offering— in November in the U.S.
Why It Matters: The Foundation series Cybertruck starts at 2,199,900 Mexican pesos (US$112,258.19) for the base version and at 2,599,900 Mexican pesos for the more premium Cyberbeast version in Mexico. The foundation series refers to a limited and pricier edition of the Cybertruck with laser-etched foundation series badges and premium accessories.
The Cybertruck is currently among the more costly EVs with its high price point. However, Tesla intends to make it a common sight on roads.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk has previously said that the company intends to make about 250,000 units of the truck a year starting in 2025.
