The first entry is always the pin's source. Overall confidence is a weighted average of how firmly each reference supports the start and end times used above; a reference counts half as much for every 180 days older than the newest.
The Statesman's live updates describe attendees arriving "for the scheduled 4:45 p.m. start of the launch event" on Thursday, Sept. 3, 2026 (21:45 UTC), and NHTSA[2] states Tesla "began offering commercial service in its Cybercab vehicles on September 3, 2026".
NHTSA's own special order states that "Tesla, Inc. (Tesla) began offering commercial service in its Cybercab vehicles on September 3, 2026"; an official federal filing.
InsideEVs reports the Cybercab "is now offering robotaxi rides in Austin, Texas" after the closed launch event "on Thursday night", with public hails from 5 pm Central Time on Friday, and details the vehicle's specifications.
Electrek writes "Tesla launched the Cybercab commercially in Austin yesterday", with invited guests riding first "before rides opened up more broadly through the Robotaxi app".
Not a Tesla App, a Tesla enthusiast site (standing lowers the score), says the event was "scheduled to begin today, Thursday, September 3, at 4:45 p.m. CDT in downtown Austin", updated that it started without a public stream, and that the Robotaxi app added Cybercab support that day.[1]
Something missing or wrong? Say it in your own words: a link that backs this pin up, a different start or end date and why, or a fact it lacks or gets wrong. The AI checks it against this pin's sources, searches for better ones, and adds any page that backs you up. The pin's own sources still count most.
In a conference call following the release of the results, CEO Elon Musk made new comments announcing that Tesla plans to hold a “handover event,” which generally means the first deliveries of a new car, toward “the end of the third quarter.”
This would put the first Tesla Cybertruck deliveries around September 2023. It’s the most precise timing of Cybertruck deliveries that Tesla has released to date.
Based on the launch of Tesla’s most recent models, especially the Model Y, we should expect Tesla to only deliver a few Cybertrucks during the delivery event, likely only to Tesla insiders, and we can expect months between the event and the start of deliveries to customers.
Interestingly, Musk also said that Cybertruck reservation holders should expect to get an update on specs and pricing at that event at the end of Q3.
In previous comments, Musk indicated that the Cybertruck would be available in a new top-of-the-line variant with quad motors rather than the tri-motor powertrain originally announced.
